25 cent fraud

January 28th, 2009 by Michelle King

“It’s easier to steal $1 from a million people than $1 million from one person” — Some crooks drafted a scheme to check out this concept. These guys started stealing 25 cents from each credit card customer. If you see strange credit charge of $0.25 or anything less than $1, it’s better to investigate where those charges are coming from.

When you sign up for online banking money transfer or paypal, they normally deposit a small amount to verify your account ownership. Because of that, it may be easy for anyone to ignore the small charges or deposits. Some crooks got creative and started stealing few cents from hundreds of thousands of people. These charges are shown up in credit card statements with the merchant name “Adele Services”. If you see anything like this, call your bank and alert them.
