Description

I attempted to go to the chemicalbrothers.com website by searching Google. One of the top results returned was for chemiicalbrothers.com (had an extra i in the word chemical which I did not notice at the time). The website was a spoof of the legit chemicalbrothers.com website. It looked almost identical, except they didn't have PayPal or Shop payment options like the legit site uses. When I entered my debit card info, it showed it was declined, so i used a credit card, which appeared to go through. In reality, the debit card didn't go through, as I didn't have more than$200 on the account (I found out later they attempted to debit $900, so it was declined). After entering my credit card info, it appeared to go through. After a few days I didn't receive an order confirmation, and two fraudulent charges were made for $983.00 and a second one was attempted for $900.00. My bank caught the second one and declined it, notifying me of fraud on my phone. The first charge for $983.00 is now being disputed as fraud. Luckily my credit card company is resolving it. I am still waiting for a resolution on it. Check website addresses carefully! Often there is an extra letter or two that won't be noticed! Use a credit card rather than debit so the credit card company will resolve any fraud. If a website doesn't offer things like PayPal, it is a red flag.
