Description

This became an unauthorized autopayment on the debit / credit card unknown and unauthorized to a family member. Some how the details where taken from logging onto the website, we do not know exactly. www.mycrisisgear.com. No items were ever bought from this website. $39.97 had been autowithdrawn from the family member checking since January 2021, total of 12 months (497.64) before I looked over the statements (Jan 2023) and asked about the charge. The family member is a senior living on social security. I called the business phone numbers listed on the bank statement and it is an old recorded message, about orders out of stock, generic double talk.... Intererestingly the card purchases are under three different business names over the past 12 months, but same company. This makes me think the fraudsters are changing the business name to skirt auto payment stopages. Tagging an AMEX in the front of the business name on the monthly bank statements can confuse victims and avoid detection. Here are the three company names on the bank statements from past 12 months, most recent first. Each monthly payment was $39.97. 20 AMEX CPC ll Sportin 888-509-0917 TX MY CRISIS GEAR 800-370-8660 TX MYCRISISGEAR 800370866 800-370-8660 TX I have bank statementsto verify of needed. The family member and I will go to the bank now to see what can be done. This is a debit card, not credit so I am concerned the money is gone. Thank you for any help or that of alerting others to the fake changes and criminals.
