I received notification from my bank of a credit card transaction from "@Freemax" for R350.
Since I hadn't used my card at all for a while, I immediately contacted FNB. Kudos to them in the way that they handled it. They cancelled my card while we were on the phone and within a week I had received a new card. Within two days the amount of R350 had been reversed.
It's really strange though. I've never had anything to do with Freemax; never bought any of their mods etc.
It's also strange that it was for such a small amount. Surely if a person is going to put through a fraudulent transaction they would put through a larger amount? Or was that just a test to see if I would notice it?
Another strange thing is why would the @ sign be in front of Freemax?
EDIT: After I had posted this, I noticed that "@FreeMax" was in blue - meaning that they are on the forum. @FreeMax I doubt that you had anything to do with this though, but perhaps you would like to respond?
