A couple of months ago, I noticed an unfamiliar charge on my debit card, coming from a company called khbill.com for about $40.00. I was unaware of what the hell was going on, so I first gave my bank a call to have a new card issued, and then gave KHBill a call to figure out who they were, and what was going on.

When I called their toll free line, I was directed to a very static-addled line, and a very indian operator who asked me for the last six digits of my card, and my name. I gave them that information, and asked them several questions.

Me: What website was my card subscribing to?
Them: It is an adult website…
Me: What is the domain name?
Them: It is an adult website sir…
Me: Yes, i want to know the domain ame.
Them: I am seeing the charge as coming from a ilovepootang.com (non-existant domain)

Me: What email address was the account subscribed to?
Them: Bailey@gmail.com (too rare for any fraudster to actually have, no email address verification?)

Me: What ip address was the signup coming from?
Them: We do not have that information on file sir

Me: OK, can you just charge the order back?
Them: Yes we can sir, thank you and have a nice day.

The whole thing seems all too fishy. Every credit card processor logs ip addresses. The email address should have been emailed the login information. The domain name is non-existant.

If you notice an unauthorized charge from KHBill.com on your card, let me know. I’d like to hear some more stories about them.
