BRENDA AND ASSOCIATES strikes again

larryinlc · 04-28-2011, 10:27 AM

This is the second time this fraud outfit has billed my credit card with a 4.93 charge for a video game that I did not purchase. I'm happy that Visa fraud unit stays on top of this sort of stuff, but getting a new card every couple months is getting old. Someone needs to find out where these people are and throw the lot of them in jail!

Do you know how you "signed up" for this subscription?

I didn't. I haven't played a video game in the last 20 years. Doing a google search on the above fraudsters, it appears that I'm not alone

Brenda And Associates is the name of a Realtor group in Delaware. We have no way of charging anyone's debit card on our site www.BrendaAndAssociates.com. These fraudulent charges have all been made from someone in Florida who apparently took our identy and used it to scam others. Please be assured, the Real Estate team of Brenda And Associates (in Delaware) has no connection to these people!

I'm confused as to how cuetime found this website. Sounds fishy if you ask me.

They probably Googled "Brenda and Associates" and "fraud"- not rocket surgery.

you can also use teh search engine boardtracker.com to do a google-esque search of online forums.

It's actually a good tool for business owners to use to see what people are saying about them on the internet. There are other avenues as well to search out who is talking about you. I just took a seminar on social media and how to best utilize it to grow your business, and this was something they talked about specifically.

It's not difficult to get Asylum posts to come up on Google. I once Googled a particular cigar I was intrigued by and the top result was my own post about it here.

Right. you can also type in a query at www.google.com/alerts and it will alert you via email when something pops up. So if cuetime has "brenda and associates" as a query, they could get an instant email message when they are mentioned somewhere within google's eyesight.

you can also use www.kurrently.com to search facebook and twitter.

Why is it that everything fun has to be screwed up by greedy dirt bags?

That's why I never claim to be a "rocket scientist".

This is from an issue that is 9 months old, so I am shutting her down.
