Judi Mahaley almost didn’t notice the $9.87 billing to one of her little-used credit cards.The Lawrence woman checks her statements online to avoid receiving paper statements. She was checking this particular card’s statement to review her finance charges when she saw the a mysterious charge from Imagecrater.com.”I have hardly used that card at all,” Mahaley said. “I had not been to that Web site.” Mahaley checked the Web site and found what appeared to be a harmless place to view and order photographs and art images. She did other online searches and found there were plenty of other people who also had received credit card charges without their initial knowledge from the same Web site.Mahaley called a phone number listed with the charge on her bill and which also is listed as a contact number on the Web site. She got a recording saying the call could not be completed.The credit card company took off the charge after Mahaley called someone and told them what happened. The firm had no explanation for it. She also decided to cancel the card and get a new one from the same company because she was afraid the charge might show up again.”They appear to do a low charge so that it goes mostly unnoticed,” Mahaley said. “You think it is just interest. It’s really weird.”As far as Mahaley knows she only received the charge once.”I just want other people to be aware that if they don’t get their paper statement they should still check their charges,” she said.Mahaley’s situation came to light before publicity this week once again put cyber crimes and identity theft in the national spotlight. The U.S. Justice Department charged 11 people in the theft of millions of credit and debit card numbers. It is not known whether her unwanted credit charge might have any relationship to the operations these suspects were allegedly involved in.The Kansas Attorney General’s office investigates identity theft and other consumer complaints when reports are made to it. Mahaley had not made a report and a spokeswoman for Attorney General Stephen Six said earlier this week the office had not received any complaints about imagecrater.com.
