Israel Bible Center Credit Card Charge – Is it Legit Or A Scam?

I just happened to notice a charge on my MasterCard today (November 21st) saying that I had been charged $55.08 from the Israel Bible Center in Wilmington, DE on November 17th, 2023 a sum of $55.08, which I did not authorize. The name sounded familiar, so I started looking back over my monthly MasterCard statements to see if they appeared on any of them, as well. I see that on September 13, September 14, 2023 I was charged $54.32 and $54.17 respectively; on October 17th, and October 18th I was charged another sum of $54.65! I would like for these things to be looked into and the money redeposited onto my MasterCard. Before this, I had bought a Hebrew Dictionary and Hebrew Course book from Israel Bible Study, located in Israel, and subsequently I received another book concerning Hebrew words that I should be familiar with to understand the Bible better, but I canceled my membership with any courses about learning Hebrew way back before all of this began and I was dealing directly with Israel at the time. I don’t know what to think, but I believe that either someone has their wires crossed, or else this Israel Bible Center in Willington, U.S.A. is a scam. Please get back to me A.S.A.P.!!! … Thank you! …

I received an email stating that a charge of $299.00 was placed on my credit card on November 7, 2023 – today! I did NOT place any such charge! It is about 3 a.m. here – the email was sent to me at 1:16 a.m., and I saw it at this time because I am experiencing insomnia tonight. I went to my credit card activity, and it is actually on my card! I noticed that the other people reporting this scam are mentioning charges of one or two dollars. But the fraudulent charge to MY account is $299.00. I am on hold with the issuer of my card, waiting to report this fraudulent activity. (Why does this form include a disclaimer about being “my genuine opinion.”? It is NOT a matter of opinion, the charge is showing on my account, even though I did NOT place it!)

I was charged $1 USA with an RBC credit card. They must have a list of credit cards since I have never spoken to anyone at this company. The weird part was that the charge was refunded in a subsequent transaction. I had to log a claim with RBC to get them to cancel card though.

In the month of August, I have been charged twice for one US dollar. I had to cancel my credit card.

I received a $1 charge to my AMEX then a few days later a credit.

Got at first two charges. Now there are more sighs

Never heard of this place. A credit of $.50 showed up on my debit card. Guess I’ll keep it!

We had 15 charges from 69 cents to $1.35 on our mastercard bill. No idea what happened here but think it was from a trip to Edmonton early August 2023. Mastercard is looking into this scam.

I am having the charge investigated by the credit card company –
