    Scam warning - POWERSALE

    I just noticed two charges on my wife's bank card towards an entity called "POWERSALE 877-244-1121".

    She had two charges for $72.21 and "international transfer fees" of about $2.21 for each charge.

    Take a look at your bank accounts.

    Edit: It seems like a Google Work from Home scam.

    Tack on another one:

    Grant Masters 800-926-0273

    For $38.34

    The amounts seem pretty consistent with the other complaints.

    My wife has canceled the card.

    Yes, she went to the site but didn't sign up for anything - I'm wondering who told her to go there - she's been working with someone so he may of requested it, if it is him then he might be in trouble, too.

    Tia -

    She claims that she didn't give them any information (but she's been known to do that).

    Apparently this is a pretty big scam and there isn't much US law can do about it since these people are overseas.

    If you don't use the card for international purchases I "believe" your banking instituiton can block/not authorize such transactions..check with them

    She shouldn't be - I'll check with her and have her check with the bank, good suggestion James.

    I do once in a while with mine but I am also very careful with who I use it with (and I'd rather use Paypal sometimes if i am not sure).

    I think most of the banks gives a free option to have SMS / EMail Alert whenever card is used... Do activate that!

    Working with #1 bank, i can bet , this really helps on all these stuffs!
