Credit card hunters

So apparently my credit card number was stolen, how, I don’t know. But they rang up 3,000 dollars on it and some of the charges have yet to go through, but I suspect they will. Strangely, I have the card with me, there are no other copies of it, but it was somehow used (swiped) several times when I was working. Luckily, I probably won’t b fucked and lose the cash they spent, but its still a strange thing. But it makes me wonder: Has anyone else experienced this type of activity before?

These are the companies that are raping my card:
S*CHECKERS HYP SANDT – SANDTON ZA
PNP MORNINGSIDE GAUTENG ZA
PNP VILLAGE WALK FAM VILLAGE WALK ZA
TOUCHTONE HARROGATE GB
Makro Woodmead Johannesburg ZA

But looking at their merchant names, I really do suspect I didn’t make them. Considering that ZA is the country code for Zimbabwe and Most of those are cities in Zimbabwe. But you know.. Apparently I can be in two places at once according to quantum theory *(superposition).

I’ll keep posting about this interesting predicament.

    STREAMLINE AUTH HARROGATE….my account number just got compromised with bank of america and thats one of the descriptions that came out on my account information for only a few dollars but as well as with a $625.26 charge to the seddon p&e for a lawnmower. I froze my account since the claim agency said that they can’t process it since the purchases are still processing which could take 3-5 days. I emailed seddon to see if i could get the person’s information by me using my account number for verification so maybe I could catch the person.

    • My card from Chase just got hit by POS DEBIT STREAMLINE AUTH HARROGATE. There were two charges for $83.81 right in a row. Chase said it was from the UK. I was like, what? I would never use my card to order anything abroad. Thankfully, they were still pending when I caught them. Chase promised an investigation. I only use that card with a few trusted merchants but no more. I’m going to take out cash from my account and deal in cash except for utilities which I pay online. Good luck, all.

    My Visa Debit card was blocked by the bank today due to a possible fraudulent transaction of $7.92 from Streamline Auth UK. I have no idea how they got my number and if they do use a random card number generator, that is just scary!!!! Just a warning to all and I am from Australia so can happen to anybody. My card has now been closed so I guess I was lucky as it could have been a lot more. Thank you ANZ.

    My account got compromised as well. They got 1360 EUR out of it. There are 2 entries – one is YVES SAINT LAURENT LONDON the other is STREAMLINE AUTH HARROGATE. It’s f..ing ridiculous. I have blocked my account at Raiffeisen Bank. I am somewhere off-shore. I do not really know how they did it. I did not expose my card anywhere unsafe but apparently one of the locations got a copy of it. It’s unbelievable.

  1. my mum just got a total of au$7000 taken out of her account to streamline auth harrogate… we have never been to europe or shoped at top shop ect.

    they also tried to take out $15,000!!!!!!!!! lucky the bank cancelled it… wtf these scammers are the lowest of the low!!
    (in in australia btw)

    I just got a call from my bank who held my account for suspicious charges from abroad on my debit card from STREAMLINE AUTH. So sketchy that it’s the same company/person hacking away…Cancelled my card immediately. Good luck to all! Fuck you, streamline!!!!!

    My husband called me at work yesterday furious because he thought that I had bought $300.00 worth of shoes without telling him. I ask for more details and found out that there was a shoe website that I had NEVER even heard of (endless.com) that was processing a payment for over $300.00. We called the company and the bank and everyone is in agreement that the charges were unauthorized. Today we were looking at the account to see if it had been processed yet so that we could have our money returned and found yet ANOTHER charge from STREAMLINE AUTH HARROGATE for $40.00 AFTER our account had already been frozen. This has been a huge problem financially with my 2 young childern starting school so I really hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else. BTW if we catch whomever is doing this I would love to know, I work for a law firm and would love the chance to see this person or people in court. :) I hope the person or people at STREAMLINE get ass raped in prison. :)

    A mi padre le ha sucedido los mismo. Le llegaron al móvil unas transacciones realizadas por un valor de 3.000 euros en total. Le hicieron 4 retiradas de dinero por ese valor. El dinero se retiraba por la empresa o lo que fuese STREAMLINE AUTH. Nosotros somos de España, no sabemos cómo lo pudieron hacer porque mi padre tenía la tarjeta consigo en ese momento. Hemos ido a hacer la denuncia y ahora toca esperar…A ver si tenemos suerte y nos devuelven el dinero.

    I have just lost my wallet..And someone had raped my credit card from bank of communications in China for consuming 10 pounds in UK. The information of that consuming record is streamline auth harrogate..What is that kind of place? And I am very urgent to get my wallet back. Is there still any possibility for my wallet returning? I have been mad and upset about that. Could anyone please tell me what am I supposed to do??

    From the UK. have been hit for £400 with MB Moneybookers.com and £19 from streamline auth. If my bank had not spotted strange transactions and contacted me then went on to block them, I think I would have seen a sizeable chunk quickly go. Thank you bank.

    A quick way to spot the start of dodgy activiities is a very small amount being charged, on my account it was £0.51, which is the minimum charge that can be made.

    Keep checking
