Before I start, let me first say I am reporting ONLY the facts. I am not (yet) accusing ONLINEAUCTION.COM for any illegal act.

Today I discovered that my credit card, which had ONLY been used at onlineauctions.com ( brand new card ) was charged $101.04 by "MANSTERMED.COM", Barnes and Noble for $220.64, and Online Auctions for $8 . All three charges took place within a short span of time, and these three are the ONLY charges, other than the initial payment to onlineauctions on the card. All charges have been reported to the police, and are bing investigated . Also, they are being investigated as part of the charge back process.

I'm not saying anyone from OLA is responsible.. but it darn sure LOOKS that way in my opinion!!!!

I am glad that my CC expired that was with them.

I had one of these start up's
that was FREE all of a sudden hit my card a couple of years ago.
One call to my cc provider and I was made whole.

I surly hope OLA isn't playing games, but to be safe people, check your cc statements and do a charge back
if need be.

Don't want to scare you but you may want to get the FBI involved also, this company is known for accepting payments from porn sites without verifying credit cards. See this link http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/363/RipOff0363725.htm

Question Everyone Is it possible when signing into Ola hidden chats , which isn't a locked secure site that this could happen? I have ask Ola about this repeatedly. They have never answered. When signing into chats, no lock and you are giving your password. It makes me wonder

I just got off the phone with Barnes & Noble Fraud dept. They say that they can't tell me much, due to "security concerns" ( irony I am in no mood for )\
but:
The order was placed for COLLEGE TEXT BOOKS, and was shipped " to the pacific north west" ( all the person would say.)

The other charge appears to be to a shady outfit that seems .. well, see for yourself: here's the chat log. Their company phone is (eventually) answered by a heavily accented woman while a child was screaming in the background.

Are you sure that wasn't OLA?

In all seriousness, that is quite frightening. I would consider contacting the FBI like was suggested...

The card has been canceled, police and FBI reports filed.

Interestingly, MANSTERMED.COM = Brazzers= CCBilling=Kbresource and then.. whom knows....

The Credit Union called OLA; they first said they had not made the charge. ( $ 8.00) , but then admitted they had when presented with proof by the CU rep sitting next to me on speaker phone. Then they tried to say I had authorized recurring payments. ( despite being "banned for life"? After having the first charge charged back?I don't think so! )Then it was "an accounting glitch".
They agreed to not dispute the charge back, and put on notice any further attempts to charge my account would be given "intense scrutiny"

Pretty embarrassing when you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar huh ola?

Could one of the powers that be please move this to the proper thread? Thanks

Betcha there are some red faces at the OLA "office"! Good for you Trident! Nothing like a little Northern Exposure!

Unless you can prove that, I think you may be opening up yourself to a lawsuit... I'm not trying to be mean, but without hard proof your claims are just heresay and speculation... and should be stated as such.

You're never "trying to be mean", but you always are. If you have no vested interest in OLA other than your sales, why bother with this? It wouldn't be you filing a lawsuit if push came to shove, or would it be?

I thought others here might find this form of interest. This is the form that is talked about above. Note the questions carefully
