I received a Provisional Credit posted to my account last night for the fraudulent charge. This was within 5 days of my filing a dispute for the charge.

Use a credit card and NOT a DEBIT card online..never, never use a debit card online. Your bank account can get wiped out in a hurry, but when you use a credit card you at least have time to disupt the charges; with a debit card you don't get that luxury(time).

A debit card does not work like a debit card online.
A debit card works like a credit card online and is protected the same as a credit card.

The only way a debit card could be used immediately as a debit card is from actual use at point of sale (with PIN).

Just a coincidence?

I just got hit last week for 677.xx on my debit card that I did not authorize. The business was supposedly an airline called Compagine National (French Airline). I was alerted to the charge and canceled the card and waited to see if it would actually post in the next few days.

While I was waiting, there was a number associated with the charge and I called it (in Houston). I got a male and when asked if this was Compagine National, I was told that they had not had that office for over 2 years and it was now the Dept. of Homeland Security!

Anyway, the charge dropped off my account after 3-4 days without posting, but immediately dropping off, another charge for a slightly lesser amount (only cents less) actually posted to my account under the name of "RAM VAD MAROE". There was no contact information at all available on this one! Well, had to go down to the Bank and dispute this one and am waiting now to get the money back from the Bank.
