FRG*TEAMFANSHOP 877-833-7397 US

While I am not alone in finding the mysterious $5 charge from Team Fan Shop-FRG on my recent update from Chase Bank VISA, I have learned that it's merely a "test-charge" and a precursor to many more unexplained problems. If I had simply ignored it or was unaware, the hacker/thief who stole my credit card information would be selling my card all over the world (with many others) to the highest bidder. Apparently, the $5 charge is used to buy a gift certificate in an on line store, but the hacker/thief doesn't care about the certificate, which is quickly voided, because the real money is in the selling of my card info.

I don't know how my information was stolen, but I am thankful that Chase Bank's Fraud unit was on top of it. As for the Team Fan Shop-FRG, I know they are not the thieves: they make and sell t-shirts for sporting events and the NFL & NBA stores.

After canceling my card and speaking with the Chase and the Team Fan Shop, I contacted Experian and Equifax to put a freeze or monitoring on my credit. The real pain of this little problem is not knowing how much real information was a stolen, because it could be far worse than $5 if cards were opened, car loans made, and other things bought in my name (without my authorization).

I order items from NBASTORE.COM and FRG Fanshop is what appears on my statement. Never had any unapproved charges to my card.

Someone charged $5 to TEAMFANSHOP, had to cancel my card. Thank goodness for Chase Fraud Alert!

FRGTEAMFANSHOP 877-833-7397...in my case, this is NOT a fraud charge. It's for an online purchase I made from the UFC online store. I checked the original email receipt, and it even stated that the credit card would indicate a charge from "FRGTEAMFANSHOP". just throwing that out there.

I bank with Huntington and I have mobile alerts. $5 was taken out, called bank cancelled card . FRG*TEAMFANSHOP 877-833-7397

I got a $62 charge from TEAMFANSHOP, had to cancel my card. Chase Fraud Alert sent me an email. Good job!

Had about 20 charges of $5 each, along with several other charges from other places, like restaurants, etc. Although they nearly wiped out my checking account, the bank caught it and emailed me. They will be refunding my fraudulent charges and issuing a new card for me. I would never call the place that is charging the fraudulent charges. Go through the bank.

Just got notification of a suspicious charge from Discover. Charge was from FRGTEAMFANSHOP in the amount of $10. The charge was fraudulent and Discover cancelled my card immediately. I called 855-222-2564 and spoke to Devon in Fraud Prevention for www.fanatics.com who informed me that when the order was attempted online, fanatics.com somehow flagged it as suspicious and declined the order.

FOX Sports Official Online Store.

A charge with $0.01 DLLS from this merchant. The bank put on hold my account and cancelled my credit card when I called to confirm it was not mine. Thank God Bank of America caught this one for me before any fraud charges.

I have a preauthorization charge sitting in my account from FRG team fan shop right now. I am on the phone with them now. Seems to be a trend. I am going to let them know they have a major problem.

I have not received my product ordered on December 7, 2022, Wednesday, Order Number: 279-4504-7354. When will I receive it or do I report Fraud on this to my credit card bank?

The same thing happened to me. I got a $5 charge and a $5 reversal charge. I told the bank but they said that the charge was reversed so they didn't worry about it. Then I was charged $257.42, which I had to beg to get refunded. I'm going to call them and warn them against future purchases. I guess the $5 is a test to see if the account works. If we're ALL having this problem, can't the banks be on a lookout for this kind of thing?

May, 2014 - A charge was just initiated to my credit card for a small amount $10.00, that was not completed (the money was not actually transferred yet) from FRG*TEAMFANSHOP. I did some Internet research and found the website SurfFanatics.com, which states in their Important Information about Payment--

"Please note, the charge on your statement will appear from FRG*Teamfanshop."

I'm a 62 year old man with no interest in surfing at all, and I live halfway across the U.S. from Florida (the home of SurfFanatics.com). I did some research, including this helpful website, and found that FRG*TEAMFANSHOP is apparently a staging ground for testing stolen credit card information.

I immediately called the fraud department of my credit card issuer, and even while I was on the phone with the fraud-department representative, the first fraudulent charge on my credit card appeared, for $192 and some cents, for "DISNEY" something-or-other, a charge or purchase I did not make. This strongly indicates to me (and also to the fraud-department investigator) that FRG*TEAMFANSHOP actually is an operation to test stolen credit card information to see if the card is valid, before making an actual fraudulent purchase that is processed.

So beware of anything in your financial records or credit card account that is labeled with FRG*TEAMFANSHOP

I was astonished at how soon after this minor test charge of $10.00 was made as a pending transaction (not actually collected, no money transferred, because the fraudsters were trying to merely test the card, before reversing the charge to cover their staging-ground tracks) the first fraudulent charge for over $192.00 appeared on my account.

I hope this helps someone else. Best wishes--

Steve, New Mexico US

I received a text alert for $5 early in the morning and didn't pay it any mind I just thought it was a pending transaction I made. Later on in the afternoon I received another transaction for $9.21 from Dr. Jays.com and immediately called my bank and cancelled my card. Please be careful people be vigilant and check your accounts for fraudulent purchases. I've also asked the bank to investigate these transactions.

Thanks for the Chase Fraud Alert! I got an email from them saying that I FRG*TEAMFANSHOP charge $5.00 on my credit card. I confirmed to Chase that I didn't charge anything to this company and I have my card with me. Chase is issuing me a new card!

I was charged 89.90 from this company my bank fraud dept caught it. Also I had to cancel my bank card. Tried to ship to Masadonia are you serious I have never heard of the place!!!!

An attempt was made on my card for a FRG TEAMFANSHOP and a $5.00 fee was placed on hold but will be returned. Spoke to a customer service rep whom was very friendly and helpful @ 1-877-833-7397 based out of Florida. The other 2 charges were unsuccessful in getting ahold of anyone, BECCA COSMETICS in SanFrancisco, CA for $417.95 and REVIVE SKINCARE in Houston, TX for $485.06. With the help of my bank I have filed a freaud claim and hopefully the entire amount of $908.01 will be credited to my account. I hope my info was helpful. I only caught this because I check my account on a daily basis. Oh! And I had to cancel my card. Later today I will be going to my local bank and signing an affidavit to begin the investigation to file charges against these creeps!!!!!

Chase send me an FRAUD PROTECTION SERVICES alert On 12/9/2014 3:35 PM, a transaction in the amount of $84.85 was declined at: FRG*TEAMFANSHOP, FL. good job Chase

I have texts set up to alert me when any charges are made online. Received the text and immediately looked it up. The amount was $5 and i called the number associated on my bank statement. It sounded very fishy when I called and they put me on hold. they asked for my address and i gave them a fake one bc I just felt something was off. I was then transferred to their "loss prevention" guy who proceeded to tell me that hackers attempted to "test" my card to see if the charge went through. He was very friendly and talkative and I just felt like he was stalling trying to keep me on the phone, and he had the nerve to say "if you trust me, you can give me the card number and I can look it up for you to see what exactly happened". i immediately hung up and called my bank to cancel my card. DON'T GIVE THE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION, JUST CALL YOUR CARD COMPANY AND REPORT IT AND GET A NEW CARD!!!

Wow this is no coincidence! I just had this FRG.Teamfan shop charged $5, reversed it then tried $39.95 and then Chase threw the fraud alert. Either this is an inside job from Chase or somebody has hacked their database because these dates are very close to each other and the same banking institution.

I had this company put $5 on my debit card and then take it back off. Right after that a company called CENTMOBILE.COM Location: 760-201-4270, NJ Purchase Date: 3/24/14 Category: Utilities took $20 off my card. I have canceled my card and they are reissuing a card. We are filing fraud charges against them. I'm glad I didn't have more on it. How can I be safe with my next card that this company FRG*TEAMFANSHOP Location: 866-687-3305, FL Purchase Date: 3/24/14 Category: Retail Stores doesn't do this again. How do they know our balances and get our money.

Received an e-mail from AmEx in the small hours today, about a suspicious charge of $36.98 to FRG TEAM FAN SHOP - sorted it out with customer fraud service, but had to cancel my card, which had been in my possession unused for past 3 days.

THIEVES!!!!! How is this horrible company not shut down yet?! I found a charge on my debit/credit card this morning: PURCHASE FRGTEAMFANS 877-833-7397 FL CARD6417 $30.98, then a reversal: REVERSAL FRGTEAMFANS 877-833-7397 FL CARD6417 $30.98. Calling my bank now to report it and cancel card.

FRG TeamFanShop put two charges totally $300 on my debit card. Reported immediately and refunded but that is not the point, how are they doing this so often and to so many people? May 2018

FRG*TEAMFANSHOP 32254 FL ORGIN.COM EA WWW.EA.COM/CS EA Have all fraudently charged my card within the past 2-days! I caught the charges while they were still pending, Thank God! Watch your bank accounts everyday and Be on the lookout for these crooks! It appears they're frauding a lot of people. This is so sickening!

On was charged 5 dollars by FRGTEAMFANSHOP then credited right back, this happened 2 times, then i was charged 1116 dollars by apple store online after that i was charged again the 5 dollars by FRGTEAMFANSHOP and credited back again by this point i had contacted my bank and they told me they were still trying to process charges through online stores but they had already been on alert and had put my debit card on hold. I had to cancel the card. This is indeed fraud and you need to call and cancel your card. Last time i used my card was ordering chinese food, so who knows who it really was there is no way to find out, just call your bank and they will take care of it within 12 hours.

Not any one particular credit card. Mine was a Master Card. At 3 AM they charged $.10 then at 4 AM they charged $264.75. My bank caught it and left me a voice mail and put a "stop" on my card. I thought it strange that I couldn't buy gas that afternoon. When I called my Credit Card company back, they told me what happened and I had a new card in my hand the next morning. 10/05/2015 FRGTEAMFANSHOP $264.75 Debit 10/05/2015 FRGTEAMFANSHOP $264.75 Credit My statement shows the debit, then the credit. It would seem that with all the complaints, this pseudo-company name should be made public. I'm in Vermont, but they are operating with stolen information from all over the country.

Through Amazon Chase rewards card, I was charged a $221.27 from FRG*TEAMFANSHOP at 1:38AM . Have no clue who they are, or can account for a purchase that large. Called up Chase, and reported it, issued new card right there.

FRG*Fanteamshop is still at it. They tried to charge my Discover $59 and change on March 7, 2016. The account had been frozen so I got an alert and the charge never went through. Thank you, Discover! I am going to be more proactive and take advantage of how easy it is to freeze/unfreeze my account.

I was just contacted today by the fraud department for my credit card company. They detected a suspicious on-line charge of $0.00 from FRG Teamfanshop this morning. I have never heard of this company nor did I use my credit card for any purchases today. Definitely a fraudulent charge!

I received an email from Chase Sapphire questioning if I had charged to merchant FRG"TEAMFANSHOP" for $10.00 This charge is fraudulent. I called CHASE immediately and the security department closed the number. They are sending me a new card with a different number tomorrow. They had been monitoring my account since that charge was placed. Another charge for $133.00 had been attempted at merchant DHGATE after my account was "flagged" and it had been denied. YAY CHASE!! The credit card companies are getting really good at spotting fraudulent charges, thank goodness. They also try hard to protect the honest consumer because they want to keep our business. I feel more secure knowing there is a safety net in place for the credit card users. Plus, if you have good credit, they will never make you pay for a charge that is not yours.

$5.00 charge on my AMEX. Have not done business with this company. Nothing additional yet, but I have posted a fraud alert and had my card reissued.

This company charged my card $10 and immediately issued a credit! never heard of this company before, called my bank and let them know it was fraud and they will be sending me out a new card!

This showed up on my bank statement but I do not recognize the charge For 2 /17 From Help.resill.shop Miami cause

I bought two sweaters from them. This is also why you pay through PayPal on these kinds of sites...not with your card. ;-)

Someone attempted to charge my credit card as "FRG*TEAMFANSHOP, FL" in the amount of $198.82. My bank automatically declined the charge, and sent me a fraud alert. There was also a fraudulent charge as "SP * MELODYEHSANI" in the amount of"$168.00. My bank removed that charge after calling me.

Just got a text alert for $5.00 from FRG*TEAMFANSHOP, one saying my card has been approved for that amount and another saying it has be declined for $5.00. Someone trying to be sneaky, thank goodness for text alerts. What IDIOTS! Yay now I get to wait for a new card...

I just had a similar issue with a Chase Visa today (March 2, 2016) They followed by loading a $50 Starbucks card. Must say, Chase is on the ball. But why does Visa allow any charges to go through a vendor that obviously either doesn't have enough controls in place to prevent so much fraud or is potentially a participant. Visa should evaluate their Vendors to assure they are not putting Visa card holders and banks at risk by doing business with Vendors who don't have reasonable controls in place.

A $5 charge attempt was made with my 53 bank debit card with transaction description FRGTEAMFANSHOP, 877-833-7397, FL. The same was refunded with transaction description FRGTEAMFANSHOP, 866-687-3305, FL.

I had already registered for Identity theft protection with 53 bank. They called immediately to enquire about this transaction, since they suspected this as fraud transaction. They flagged it before it could go through and marked it immediately as Fraudulent. Good job 53 Bank!

FRG*TEAMSHOP - Attempted to charge $5.00 to my card. Bank refused the charge, but looks like they are fishing to see if the card was valid or not in an attempt to charge other items. Shortly after the teamshop charge popped up, several other charges were attempted on the same card.

Same as you guys, bank blocked the fraudulent charge. $5 charge on my debit card. Surely it's someone to do with this company that's purporting this!? Very worrying and frustrating.

You’ll see something like a $5.00 charge appear for a short time from FRG*TeamFanShop 877-833-7397 FL and then disappear – it’s apparently a test. Then you start getting whacked for larger amounts from oddball places – see this link: http://www.whatsthatcharge.com/FRG-TEAMFANSHOP

My charge showed the FRG*TeamFanShop 877-833-7397 for $5.00. It was there at 5:00 AM and gone by 8:00. BoA confirmed that it was attempted & reversed. The Ph # goes to Fanatics Retail Group in Jax… www.fanatics.com Al in security at Fanatics indicated that they are aware of this activity by some outside entity who uses their site to test small charges & that Fanatics automatically reverse the charges based on fraudulent address / email criteria in their system.

It appears your best option, when this happens, is to CANX & ReIssue your bank cards. Big Time Pain!..

$28.98 charged to my Amex card. Charge was rejected by them, thank goodness. Never heard of them. Glad American Express is diligent.

I had a $5 charge from Team Fan Shop FL, which was reversed. I called and they said their system recognized the attempted charge as fraudulent and had it immediately reimbursed. They said they did not have any more information, but said my card had been compromised and I should have it cancelled/replaced. Then I had a $60 charge from ulta.com which I never purchased anything from. Called my bank right after that to have the charges stopped & card cancelled... I believe my card information was stolen when I purchased an item from a website called Teespring. A day later the fraudulent charges began.

I had an FRG*Teamfanshop show up on my bank statement today. My bank's website was down from 11:59PM 1-17 supposedly until 7:30AM on 1-21. Thank goodness for text alerts! It showed I was negative $40! I managed to get into the website and saw a $5 charge from the above mentioned company that was promptly returned. But after that was $899.03 worth of charges from RENTSBOOKS.com, VALOREBOOKS, and TEXTBOOKRUSH.com!!! My bank was vigilant and called me but I have been getting calls from all over the country saying I have been approved for payday loans that I never applied for and didn't answer. I called 911 to file a report for my bank. After the deputy left my house I checked my voice mail and called my bank back. They have cancelled my debit card and are returning the money but this didn't have to happen if every reputable website required the security code on every sale. I had used this card on Facebook, Sprint, Dish and Sportsman's Guide websites recently and have no idea of where the security breach might occurred!

Was charged $3500 to my Canadian credit card in mid-November 2014, by FRG*TEAMFANSHOP 877-833-7397 FL. And also another $600 charge to some place in Quebec (SENSATION PLUS GATINEAU QC). All over a 4 day period.

I noticed these charges 7 days later when I checked my online banking. Immediately called the bank. They are cancelling my card, and sending me a new one. All done with in like 10 minutes.

FRG*TEAMFANSHOP charged $142.98 to my Chase card, thank you Chase Fraud alert for declining the charge and expediting my new card!

After depositing my paycheck, I checked my acct online & saw a $5.00 charge & reversal charge from FRG*TEAMFANSHOP-877-833-7397-FL in the "pending" status of my acct. I never heard of this company. I called the # & it said it was not a working #. So I "googled" it & found all these posts. I immediately contacted my bank & cancelled my debit card. The next day, the charge & reversal didn't even show up as going through & was not in the "pending" stage either. I didn't find any other fraudulent charges so I think I caught it before any real damage happened. It's best check your acct often help stop these fraudulent companies/people.

I have an alert for all CC transaction for my chase card and got an alert for $5.00 charge from FRG*TEAMFANSHOP. When I logged to chase site saw $5.00 refund also. Called chase and cancelled the card and getting replacement card. Good that my alert helped to catch this fraud and thanks for this site and all your inputs.

I signed up alerts which showed my Citi credit card was charged $10 today. While I was confused who the merchant (FRG*TEAMFANSHOP 8778337397 FL) was, I logged in my account and saw there was a refund of $10.

Thanks to the comments above, I cancelled my card and reported the fraudulent transaction right away. Short after I ordered my replacement card, I received an email from Walmart regarding an order of Google Play $50.

I think both Citi and Walmart did great! Citi notified me about those transactions when my card was not present. Walmart flagged the unusual order and cancelled it without me contacting them.

Got a refund today from FRG TEAMFANSHOP. It's not a scam. I placed an order from USPGA golf shop and they refunded me a purchase I made there for some ball markers through PayPal. Apparently they are out of stock and refunded me my money. So if you are getting a refund it may be from a sports shop you visited.

Our valid purchase from the Maryland Terrapin Team Store showed up as FRG*TEAMFANSHOP...

Still Happening in 2018 They tried two different cards of mine. 10 dollar charge to FRG*TEAMFANSHOP Both we’re immediately refunded. I was able to cancel both my cards before anything else happened but seriously want to know where they got them from. I doubt it is random since they got two of my cards.

This is the fourth time I have changed my debit card and a couple of months later TeamFanShop again gets access to that number and does another fishing attempt (charge and then refund). The first time it happened I called the bank because I get charge alerts and they told me not to worry about it then a few days later I lost a lot of money. Since then, whenever there is a fishing attempt by them I cancel my card immediately. I don’t understand how this company gets away with this especially after reading all the other comments.

I ordered from shop.texassports.com. The charge showed up on my statement as FRG*TEAMFANSHOP on 4/27/17. By 4/28/17, they were using my card at gas stations in Florida. Luckily I caught it before they got away with to much and cancelled by card.

My Discovercard had a charge of $55.88 from FRG*TEAMFANSHOP I thought it was fraud but after I read these posts and the one that read: "in my case, this is NOT a fraud charge. It's for an online purchase I made from the UFC online store", that made me remember i made a purchase from the UC Berkeley Store and that's what my charge was from, but i never would have guessed it on my own.

GOT A CHARGE FOR $20 FROM FRGTEAMFANSHOP TODAY AT 4AM. I DID NOT MAKE THIS PURCHASE!!!

FRGTEAMFANSHOP is still being used as a verification site for stolen card data. I was contacted by my bank to confirm a transaction of $10 that the bank declined. I was curious about how this worked at FRGTEAMFANSHOP's end, so I called and talked with an order processing manager. Their order processing security requires correct card data, including 3/4 digit CVV2 number, as well as matching address information. If this info does not match, the transaction is not processed by them. This makes them "normal" for online sales, and the fact that all of the data matched means that my card data was likely stolen from one of the several sites I have placed orders with recently, as the card is fairly new. Hope this helps someone out!

FRG TEAM FAN SHOP * They are still at it! Got charged $18.00 two months ago and had a new card issued. Was charged again this morning for $26.98. Thanks to American Express alerts I was able to shut the card down immediately and get reissued AGAIN!

My wife used our Discovercard at a gas station in Florida which she, later that day, said it looked like the pump may of been tampered with and that she hoped she did not just put her card through a "slider" and have our info stolen.

The next day I received an email from Discovercard noting two charges from FRG*TEAMFANSHOP. One for around $15, the second for $160. Both were declined by my card.

I called up Discovercard and had my card deactivated before any other fraudulent charges could be attempted.
