A new take on an old micro-charge credit fraud

[thewayne]

This has been around for a while, they charge just under $10 to your card in the hope that it's something that you don't remember but accept as something that you probably bought. The long-running one charged $9.84 for 'online learning', the new one charges a variety of amounts between $10-15 and the vendor is BLS*Weblearn or PLI*Weblearn, they're probably the same people just changing up their game a bit.

And that's the best we can hope for, isn't it? To make the scam not worth the effort relative to the payout.
