We just cancelled our one charge card number because last month we were charged $25.00 from Dreamsmile. Called the 800 number on the charge bill and got an automated machine stating that "We have now credited your account" Called the card company and told them and it was removed. Now this month we got a charge for $75.00 from somethingRX.net, looked it up and nothing exists on the web page, but makes your think it was medicine or something, called the 800 number and same answer as before, they credited the account. Called the charge company and told them and they asked us if we bought anything from "this company" and I said NO, it will be on next month's bill, so someone is scamming by charging from made up companies each month. We are signing an affidavit from the charge company so they can investigate this.
So really check where all the charges come from on your bill. If your really use it alot, you may not notice this. We don't use this one, only had one other charge on it, so caught it right away.
Just wanted to let ya know to check your charge card bills.

Good warning.

My sister noticed a 'strange' charge on hers. Finally checked with the charge card company, it was a service she 'signed up for.' WRONG!!! She wasn't even in the US. They got her for over $500 before she caught it...AND her credit card (CitiBank) was in on it. I guess some states hae taken them to court for it.
