Thx much!my wife seem to think this is some type of business.maybe a hotel or jewery store, she think this mostly because of the words('xin ming suo' ) and the dollar amount you mention, Link to comment
clayton2103 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Not sure this helps, but my wife "thinks" it may be a government business transaction. Clayton Link to comment
Smitty Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Can you contact your CC company and get more information? Link to comment
scooby94 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I dont know what it is either, but i had charges on my Amex from korea the other day, and i havent been there in 2 years, so make sure you double check that someone isnt charging things to your CC. and my So thinks it may be some type of club as well....

georgeandli Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm suprised no one has said anything about contesting the charge. Something is funny here. Unless you are the former Guv. of N.Y., $300 is something most of us would remember spending. Link to comment

Unless you are the former Guv. of N.Y., $300 is something most of us would remember spending. I wouldn't remember it...but then I ran out of that ginko stuff Just kidding. If he does not remember a charge in that amount, it is important to contact the CC company. If they cannot refresh his memory, perhaps his CC# has been passed into an underground economy server and sold. Identity theft and variations of it are a big thing today. Link to comment
Smitty Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Exactly my point. He may have arranged to purchase something, and be charged at the time of shipping, and forgot. Or he might have been ripped off. Calling the CC to get more info is the best way to start, and either accept the charge, or deny the charge.

Guest Tony n Terrific Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I had this happen to me once. I asked the credit card company about this and told them I never made the purchase and they denied the charge and as well closed my account and issued a new card card account for me.

Smitty Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Is that anything like 'The Governors Club?" Link to comment
Sebastian Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 If you left China 3 days ago, maybe this is your hotel bill catching up with you ? Otherwise - hei! Call yer CC company, tell em you didn't authorize it ! Link to comment
Vanessa S. Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 hahaha that reminds me, I had my CC#/Debit stolen in Japan and when i looked at my statments it said I washed 1300$ worth of cars at a carwash....yeah i dont have that may cars......and had that all desputed out! Link to comment
yuehan123 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I rarely use a credit card within China (or Korea or Japan or Hong Kong) When I do, the name on the bill has rarely had anything to do with the name of the place I did the business with. Furthermore, the transaction date and billing date are often days or weeks apart. Seems a little difficult to lose track of a $287 dollar, or 1,900 rmb purchase. Do what they said above- call and follow up with cc company. They can refresh your memory. Link to comment
