Block the number immediately and report the charge to your bank. Small, recurring $2‑$7 e‑book fees often come from a fraudulent merchant using the name Electronic Business Resources. Keep your card issuer informed each time the charge appears, and ask them to issue a new card number to break the link. Monitor your statements daily for any unknown activity and set up alerts for transactions under $10. If possible, place a freeze on your credit files to limit further misuse. Contact consumer‑protection agencies such as the FTC or your state attorney general to file a complaint and help shut down the scheme.
I haven't found any charges on my account related to this number, so it's possible that the number has been reassigned.

A fraudulent charge of $4.95 on my debit card led me to contact my bank, and upon investigation, the transaction details changed from 'ELECTRONIC BUSINESS RE PITTSBURGH PA' to 'ELECTRONIC BUSINESS 0412 04/05ELECTRONI', which I hope will aid in shutting down the scam.
I found a 4.95 charge on my statement that i know nothing about, it look like i am not the only one being charged fraudulently by this company.
Last year, I fell victim to a scam that targeted my bank account four times, each time using a different electronics company name and phone number that led to voicemail. I canceled my debit card and switched to an ATM card, but now my other account has been hit with similar charges.
Although I didn't receive any calls, I discovered an unauthorized transaction in my account with this name, and when I tried to call the number, it was out of service, yet the transaction occurred on 3/15/10, indicating that the perpetrator is still active.
After months of dealing with this issue, I've finally found a resolution, and I'm furious about the whole ordeal.
I've had similar issues in the past, including charges on 01-08-10 and 01-23-10, which I spent hours trying to resolve with BOA
Noticing a $4.95 charge on my card from this company prompted me to call my bank, which discovered the charge dated back to Nov and Dec 2009. This experience has led me to reconsider using my debit card for payments, given the risk of actual money being taken from my account.
Upon reviewing my account, I noticed a charge of 4.95 for January, and further investigation revealed similar charges in December and November, prompting me to cancel my debit card and report the issue, as the phone number associated with these charges is now disconnected.
I was deceived into paying $6.95, and it's surprising that no action has been taken against this scam yet.
David Bergman from EBR LLC Customer Service makes a interesting point, but it seem like his book store is the one thats been making all the fraudeulent sales and billing, it dont make sens that someone on the outside would be using fake numbers to buy books, it has to be someone on the inside, otherwise why would they only use the number at one place, it only benifits the book store, I just got charged 2.95, it so low I think they hoping nobody will notice
