Watch your statements and block any unknown numbers that keep calling. When a charge appears you didn’t authorize, contact your bank right away and dispute the transaction. Keep a log of call times, what was said, and any reference numbers; this helps fraud teams trace the source. If the caller claims to sell surfboards or similar goods, ask for a written verification and never share personal data over the phone. Report persistent unsolicited calls to the FTC and consider adding the number to a do‑not‑call list. Stay vigilant and let your credit card issuer handle the reversal.
Rather than blaming the company, it's more likely that one of their customers is responsible for the issue, possibly due to an online incident. A straightforward conversation with them could resolve the matter.
Following a $499 charge on my credit card, which was flagged as fraudulent, this number has been calling repeatedly, despite my attempts to ignore them; they appear to be associated with a company selling surfboards in California.
