HC HC CHARGE

HC* HC_CHARGE Charged $13.40 twice on my Bank of America Mastercard Debit Card on 8/15/22, and they tried to use my card at an ATM or some place, but put in wrong pin number. I reported fraud

Statement line on ANZ account : "Eftpos Hc*Hc_charge Httpshoneycoi" dated 2 Jan 23. Took $285.31 - Frauds Now hitting Australia.....

I also got a $13 charge, they are using people's information, call the bank and report the fraud.

Received 2 HC_Charge charges for $13 on a BRAND NEW 2 day old debit card. Has never been swiped. Numbers have never been typed or written down. Nobody has had access to the card inside my safe which is under surveillance. No chance at my data being leaked by myself and no chance for a rfid scanner to come across the card. BOFA must have had a very bad leak. They werent even aware of it when i filed for fraud. But seeing lots of the same reports online. Troubling.

Bro i got the exact same charge as everyone. BofA. two $13.40 separate charges and a text message saying someone tried inputting my pin and messed up. My charge says its from delaware? im from texas, idk where delaware even is bro

HC HC Charge hit my debit card for $88.67. This happened on a Sunday and the charge is still pending which means I can't dispute this charge until it is processed. My bank is BMO Harris and when this does process I will be at my bank first thing in the morning to dispute this charge. It is interesting that the phone number that appears next to HC HC Charge is a non working number. When I decided to determine who HC HC Charge was I directed only to this site. After reading most of the comments it is clear to me this is fraud. Why do banks accept a charge from this bogus company, seems like most banks and credit card companies know this is fraud?

Had 2 transactions for $13.41 and an attempted transaction that was declined because they used an incorrect PIN at HC* HC_CHARGE in Middletown, DE. This was on an unactivated Bank of America debit card in Texas which has never been used and is locked in a safe. Have called the bank and they were puzzled as to how this happened.

I just got this same charge and Key flagged it for fraud. Disputing right now

I got a $13 charge twice. They attempted on all debit cards. They were declined by two went through on one. I reported fraud.

My son & I suspect that HC stands for Honey Coin which is a peer-to-peer way to send and receive money. Based on the amounts of the transactions and the dates, they are sending money to foreign countries, mostly African. Reading through the posts, it looks like there are a lot of Bank of America customers affected but also Huntington and Aspire as well. Either all three banks have inside jobs or they all have security leaks.

I had the same $13 charge twice on all my BofA accounts after multiple ATM attempts. This is on cards not in use or active. This is "INSIDER Threat" fraud or a Breach of BofA' customer PAYMENT data (i.e ATM Debit cards). I RECCOMEND everyone coming here lodge a Federal complaint with US Bank Regulatory Agency. Here is the link: https://forms.federalreserveconsumerhelp.gov/secure/complaint/complaintType.html

Please do this to ensure BofA assumes responsibility and is transparent about the sensitive customer data breach or leak. This is highly impactful

I also got 2 charges on my brand new card for 13.40 and the description says it from HC* HC_ I havent even used my card so i don't know how they got my info, looks like an inside job from BOFA or they got hacked..!

Deposited $50 into my checking account this morning which gave me a $59 balance. I just went to use the card for $50 and it was declined. They put through 2 charges of $27.01 each. My bank is charging it back and giving me back my money.

Hey moron thieves; GET A JOB!!!

HC*HC CHARGE from Middletown, DE on my debit card too. 8/16/22. I have it in my possession but have never used this debit card either physically or virtually, so the -only- explanation must be that Bank of America had a data leak. When I was on the phone with a BoA rep, she mentioned how odd it was because she had just ended a call with another person who had the same charge from the same source. When I said that sounded like a data leak, she brushed me off and said she would have received a notice from corporate if there had been a data leak. BoA has yet to refund the charge and said they need to conduct an investigation.

My card was also charged 44.68 twice by these people on 8/14 after getting a notification that my card had been declined for not using a pin.

Received a charge 8/16/22 from
"Hc Hc_charge " in the amount of $44.68. I have no clue where or who this charge is from. Disputed as fraud.

They attempted on two debit cards. One wasn't even activated. Disputed. Waiting for refund.

Charged 44 dollars twice on my daughters card

“Hc hc charger” taken multiple amounts in my cash app putting me in a bad situation this site or business need to be reported immediately!

Tried to charge 44.72 back to back twice on my card luckily Huntington flagged it as fraud!

i discovered the following charge to my account today HC* HC CHARGE +18457953506 DE Card Used for $64.01AUD Have reported this as fraud and have had to get my CC cancelled.

2 x Charges to HC* HC CHARGE, both on the same day on a brand new (unused) card.

A bit worrying that this is happening before I even tried to use the card myself.

Reported as fraud.

This company tried to debit my card in July and was blocked. The debit my cashapp card 5 times when I realized what was going on. I locked my card. They had already taken $17.94 at 3 different transactions and $.80 . Smdh !!!! I’ve never heard of this company never purchase anything from them. Don’t know how they got my cashapp info.

August 29 HC HC Delaware charge FOR 16.90 PLUS .33 for foreign transaction. Brand new card from Mastercard issued through Merrick Bank never swiped never used. Never out of my sight. On hold right now with fraud Dept, an HOUR so far just to talk to someone. Ridiculous. I don't even want a new card issued after this.

Political Campaign Debit Card was charged 42.26 on Dec 1st 2022. Bank did not catch it, contacting them now. HC* HC_CHARGE HTTPSHONEYCOIDE

HC HC Charge Middletown DE, for $95.95, I had to submit a Fraud declaration. My card was with me, I also had a charge for -$0.00 out of STLOUIS Strip and then posted for REPL/EXPED FEE -$0.00. I am in Milwaukee, WIS. Last time I used this debit card was at MY bank ATM !!!! 2nd time I have been hit, last time was 5/30/2022. Cancel card again.

Same transactions for $13.40 each, 2 HC* HC Middletown, De. These charges were done 08.16.22 Disputed with BofA. In process now.

Just received this charge as well for 44.68 and its being disputed. They said it was a debit card transaction using my card number an pin.

Last night a fraudulent charge of $0.85 was attempted on my debit card from HC* HC CHARGE +18457953506, but my credit union blocked it, called me, and I shut down the card. Tried to go get a new one today but banks are closed for Veteran's day. When I call the number associated with the charge, it was out of service.

My Uncle's MCU Card got hit with a $29.58 charge today. Visa Purchase HC* HC_CHARGE HTTPSHONEYCOI DE Date 12/31/22

Kinda crazy since this card is only available to City Employees in NYC so they're getting desperate and going for less common cards.

I had three of these charges on a card that was 30days old: Bank of America

HCHC. 13.40 HCHC. 13.40 HC*HC. 13.40

THE BANK GAVE ME THEIR MERCHANT PHONE NUMBER WHICH IS DISCONNECTED. I disputed them as fraudelent

3 $13.41 charges on a new B of A account, ATM cards never used, still in sealed envelopes. Also Texas! It must be a breach within B of A as I have never used the account beyond transferring an initial deposit.

I had the same $13 charge twice on all my BofA accounts after multiple ATM attempts. This is on cards not in use or active. This is "INSIDER Threat" fraud or a Breach of BofA' customer PAYMENT data (i.e ATM Debit cards). I RECCOMEND everyone coming here lodge a Federal complaint with US Bank Regulatory Agency. Here is the link: https://forms.federalreserveconsumerhelp.gov/secure/complaint/complaintType.html

Please do this to ensure BofA assumes responsibility and is transparent about the sensitive customer data breach or leak. This is highly impactful

Received 1 HC_Charge charges for $88.67 on a BRAND NEW 7 day old debit card. Has never been swiped. Numbers have never been typed or written down. Nobody has had access to the card inside my safe which is under surveillance. No chance at my data being leaked by myself and no chance for a rfid scanner to come across the card. My debit card is HSBC, they must have had a very bad leak. They werent even aware of it when i filed for fraud. But seeing lots of the same reports online. I am afraid if I don't check my account information, I even won't know it, then how can we check our bank account every day? Even the big bank can not be trusted, what else can we do? Troubling.

HCHC. 13.40 HCHC. 13.40 HC*HC. 13.40

THE BANK GAVE ME THEIR MERCHANT PHONE NUMBER WHICH IS DISCONNECTED. I disputed them as fraudelent

Same thing happened to my son, brand new Bank of America account and debit card and two charges appear from HC*HC, both in the amount of $13.41 and they also attempted to withdraw money as he received a text indicating that an ATM transaction was denied because of incorrect PIN.

5 charges on aspire cc for 13.40 on August 13th along with foreign transaction fees. In the process of a claim.

2 charges for 13.41 and another for 44.68 all done 14th 15th and 16th. Reported fraud and reported how many people have had this exact same charge around the same days as me. Also BOA. So irritating!! HC HC out of Middleton Delaware. Watch your transactions because mine didn’t catch it as fraud.

I had same issue. I reside in Texas, was hit twice with $7.89. Received a text that pin was declined. Looked at account. Bank withdrew $7.89 twice. I called BOA and reported fraud. Called again today. Rep said they've had a huge influx of calls about this merchant. She also stated they are investigating the establishment, yet the investigators will not disclose who the merchant is, sadly. She also stated many other banks are being hit with the same issue, so it seems we have a hacker. If anyone finds any leads, let me know. I will do the same.

I noticed that HC Charge made two transactions of $13.41 on my debit card on August 16th, which happens to be a Mastercard from Bank of America, similar to most of the other fraud reports here. My card was relatively new, but I immediately canceled it and ordered a new one. I also filed a claim for the transactions, and a day later, one of the $13.41 was refunded to my account. This morning, however, I noticed that the refunded $13.41 had left my account again and the transaction date was labeled the day after the original scam. I checked my claim progress and it said that it was still under research, but why would the money enter and leave my account again? Does this mean that the scam is still ongoing and can hit people multiple times? I haven't even activated my new card because it is still being delivered, so this must be a problem directly from within Bank of America. It also seems like this fraud is only happening to new card owners in Texas.

Took $125 reported it as frued

Also got the same charge from H C for $21.26 on January 7, 2023- This was on a debit card from TD Bank- Reported it and the bank had no clue- You think by now banks should realize this is a scam and not let it go through on cards

HC HC charge on Mastercard for 1,100 dollars out of Dallas Texas. BEWARE.

I was just notified that my Upgrade card was locked due to fraud, there are two charges for $88.49 from HC* HC CHARGE +18457953506 19709 USA Luckily, upgrade caught it before I did and declined the transactions. Annoying.

I also just came across 3 charges for $88.46 for November 20th on my Milestone credit card. Just got of phone with fraud department they immediately canceled my card and new one is in the mail tomorrow this is a NEW CC of less than 2 months. I have no idea how it happened but was only used at Lowes and Amazon apparently Kenya is hacking EVERYONE!!!!

Tried to make a charge to my debt card of .88 and I have not been to any health care facility

I just had this random charge from: HC* HC CHARGE MIDDLETOWN DE

two times they took 452.49 overdrawing my account. Have to wait the 10 days and just hoping to get my money back. Haven't saved my card information anywhere and I never lost or let anyone use it. WTF???

I had the same charge From hc hc charge Middletown de for 23.69 and my card is a walmart card. Still don't know what it is

HC *HC Charge HTTPSHONEYCOIDE got me three times in two days, for 42.03, 42.19, and 42.27. Complete fraud. Reported to Citizens bank account, and of course right before Christmas

Two fraudulent attempts today from HC HC CHARGE, each for $21.06 on my VISA credit card. Phone number associated with charge is 845-795-3506, but "cannot be completed as dialed" and this same phone number appears in other fraud reporting docs.

For example, see www.mass.gov/doc/assigned-data-breach-number-28062-mutual-one-bank/download

Fortunately, the charges to my card were not allowed, because I was alerted by the card's fraud protection group, which subsequently has cancelled the card.

2 charges of 70 gbp from my credit card. My bank had noticed it was fraud and froze the card. Refunded as soon as I spoke to the security department on the phone. Definitely fraudulent.

I had a total of six charges of 88.67 each, placed on 16 October on an HSBC debit card that I had never used. The charges were made online by HC_Charge of Middletown, Delaware. I reported the incident To HSBC and they immediately cancelled the card and credited the account.

Two charges made by HC* HC_Charge on my debit card today for $92.73 and $84.28, definitely fraudulent. Can’t even dispute until Monday UGH hate thieves!

The Fraud Dept in my bank called me asking about a charge ftom HC Charge to see if it was a legit charge or fraud. I didn't make any charges using this debit card to HC Charge. Only place I used it in the past week was at Costco.

HC HC tried getting me but it was declined by cash app due to them having the wrong expiration date. I removed the money off my account. What is HC HC anyway?

Got hit with at least 4 charges from Hc Hc charge for about 100

two charges for 13.40 on two consecutive days from this HC* HC_CHARGE. FRAUD! The debit card had never been used, never left the house. Very, very strange how this could have happened.

I also had these charges to HC on the same day for $17.89 twice. 3rd time they tried using it and had incorrect pin that's when I received a message from BOA reporting fraud. My card is less than a month old. This will be my 3rd card in less than 6 months. To me that's a problem from BOA which is sad because I've had an acct with them for many years.

My son new Debit Card (10 days) was charged with the same amount $13.40 , I call the BoA the same day before the transaction was processed, but they processed anyway, normally when there is a dispute then don’t have to proceed. An the claim is always under review, they know that is. A scam why they take so much time to take action.

I have a MoneyLion checking account. Transactions just started yesterday 9/22 and today 9/23 for random amounts. Drained my account of about $7k. Same merchant, HC from Delaware. They weren’t familiar with the issue at all, currently going through dispute process. Hoping I don’t lose all that hard-earned money because of a thief. Even more upset I wasn’t alerted.

My daughter's debit card received 2 charges from HC Charge for $13.41 each on August 16 2022. We called Bank Of America and they submitted it as fraud and cancelled her card and had to issue her a replacement card. They said it could take up to 90 days to resolve the fraudulent charges......it will be great when we receive the money back....

I discovered a charge of $88.85 from HC* HC_Charge Middletown DE on my BMO Harris account. I called my bank today to start an investigation.

This happens to me 4 times with charge of $13.50. This happened to me on my Aspire credit card. This happened to me on the 13th.

I got five charges of $27.01 on 8/16 on my etrade debit card.

2 debit cards issued March 2022... both hit with $13.40 debits WO PIN. impossible for both cards to be skimmed! One card was NEVER used. 100% inside job or data breach. Which national bank has best security track record?

Got a charge on my sons debit card hc*he charge and guess what $13.40 was charged twice to my sons act BOA has yet to refund the $ and it’s a new card!

I see a lot of B of A, Huntington and Aspire. Well my account at Chase just got hit with this as well, $17.86 charge on Chase debit just recently issued 1 month ago. Charge labeled as HC* HC_CHARGE HTTPSHONEYCOI. Reported as fraud and reissued my debit card. It's really crazy how someone can get all this info from multiple banks. How?

I found my virtual card from Bank of America had multiple unauthorized charges to this business/service in addition to Amazon. There were charges for currency conversion as well. None from me.

Amounts were around $28,$29,$44, etc.

I got the same charge, it was in an awkward name first( XZYVAWAHBXHG similar to this) bu later it turned to HC*HC. August 16 immediately I report it as fraud, while it was in pending but it is charged. And didn't back yet. I think there is a problem in BOA system, I should transfer my bank account to the other one.

I just looked at my BRAND NEW Credit Card Statement and I have 3 SEPERATE charges dated 7/31/2022 in the amount of $41.31 from HC*HC_Charge out of Middletown, DE and these aren't mine. I called my bank and they are aware of it, but did NOTHING about it, until I called. Who is this company or people doing this? Mine was on a First Digital Credit Card. I HATE THIEVES.

HC* HC CHARGE +18457953506 DE posted two fraudulent charges ($44.68 each) on 8/15/2022 at 9:35am per my contact for Huntington Bank Mastercard.
My Mastercard has the picture of the dog & cat advertizing for C.H. which is probably just coincidental to the reversed initials of HC on the charge.

I just filed a claim for two charges of $13.41 with a description of HC*HC_Charge. I’m a BOA customer too! I just received that card in the mail not too long ago and only used on 8/15 which just so happens to be the same day the charges popped up. It’s an inside job for sure.

Hc hc charge has stolen around $250 + in charges against me. An I have no clue why they charge me and how they charge me. Knowing I had my debit card.

My son had the same thing happen on his greenlight debit card. $17.97 then $44.92 then $89.85 are all pending. They kept trying for $449.23, $449.23, $44.92, $44.92 and $8.98 that were all declined. All from HC with out of service phone number of 845.795.3506 from DE.

Hit on 28/12 22 for $31.50 from these HCHC people for a visa charge. Bank notified me by sms.ard now cancelled...How do they keep doing it? I live in Australia

I got a 21 dollar charge from HC HC CHARGE there must be something going on will all banks cause I have a chase card and they have no idea what’s going on when I call so someone must be banking there serves this is so messed up

HC*HC is a fraudulent scam. My debit card has been cancelled and the charges denied. Have no idea how they got access to my debit card, but glad mine comes with fraudulent activity protection and they called me this morning, reviewed the charges, and cancelled my card. Now, the hassle of waiting for a new card to be activated and sent.

I work for a locally owned bank in Texas and oversee debit card disputes. Our customer's were hit pretty hard as well. The pre-authorization on this merchant was out of Delaware and once the transaction settled it was a foreign merchant. It is not an inside job. The individuals conducting fraud know the BINS of every bank and start with a bin and make up card numbers and keep trying until they have an active card number. Once they have a good card number they hit the card with the charges. By the time the customer's have been hit (usually over a weekend) the damage has been done. All banks are required to accept disputes from their customers.

Got a charge of $21.05 1 time. While pending it says HC HC.... not that it has posted it said Honeycoin. When i look up HoneyCoin it is an app to send money all over the world. How the Hell did they get my number... I need answers. As soon as the charge came in i disabled my card, so it wont be able to be used again.

Saw this charge today on January statement HC* HC_CHARGE HTTPSHONEYCOI DE, no phone number. Charge was for $22.59, but also had a charge for "foreign currency fee" of $.67 - so obviously the funds went out of the US. This is a card I rarely use, but routinely check the statement when I pay my bills each month. I did not make this charge. It is a Caesar's Rewards Visa, serviced by Comenity. Been on hold for half an hour trying to dispute, no resolution yet.

I just got an email from one of my CC companies and I received 14 HC*HC_Charge DE along with 14 foreign transaction fees for a grand total of $257.66. They were charged over a two day period, August 12 and 13.

Two fraudulent charges on my BofA debit for $13.41 each from 8/16/22 from HC* HC Charge. Thanks to this site I see many others have identified this as fraud so I have reported it to m y bank and they have flagged it and are sending me a new debit card.

I got 4 of these charges for $17.89, only 1 went through and I woke up to fraud alerts. This is crazy, I was wracking my brain for what I could have done to get my card info stolen like this, but now I see with all these other reports it was obviously some sort of inside job. Bofa already refunded the amount for mine and sent a new debit card.. but how did this happen?

I notice quite a few of these comments come from Texas like myself, wonder if that's related

Deposited $50 into my checking account this morning which gave me a $59 balance. I just went to use the card for $50 and it was declined. They put through 2 charges of $27.01 each. My bank is charging it back and giving me back my money.

Hey moron thieves; GET A JOB!!!

Similar story. My son’s account had a couple of charges for this HC whatever company and he received a text about a transaction being declined for the wrong pin. I am wondering, if there are multiple banks that had victims, what is the common thread? My son’s card was only about a month old and I see several other posts about cards being new. I wonder if all the banks involved use the same manufacturer to create the debit cards or if there is something else along similar lines that connects them. Seems more likely that there is one security leak than multiple.

My 13 year old kid opened up her first bank account and got pounded 6 times for $13.40.

My wife’s card for my daughters account got hit two of those times for the $13.40 That card has a different number, and hasn't been activated. It hasn’t been swiped, photographed, or entered anywhere online.

Sounds like some asshole working at the credit card factory or some nerd on a computer is up to no good.

Hopefully it’s not someone working at the branch on Spring Green and 1093 in Richmond.

had 8 charges on my Aspire card for 13.40 plus the same number in foreign transactions fees from this HC HC charge now i wait for a refund

My First Digital Card was charged 3 times totaling $277.80 from HC_Charge Middletown, I reported these charges as fraudulent to First Digital, they sent me paperwork to sign to confirm these were not my charges, that was 2 weeks ago, I now get a notification of my new statement balance and the charges are still there...I called First Digital today, they told me they resolved the issue, but the charges are valid!! I have been on the phone with First Digital for over an hour trying to get this straightened out!!!

HC HC CHARGE Charged $13.41 twice on our joint checking account. Bank of America informed us that the charges were made online using a electronic debit card. The Debit Card in question has never been activated/used by us. The envelope containing the debit card has never been opened. It is locked away in our safe. It is a new account. We believe that Bank of America is not doing enough to protect our account and personal information.

I just received a charge from HC* HC Charge for $146.05 on Christmas Eve. It is an old card however I am extremely careful with it so I have no idea how they got my details. I live in New Zealand, called my bank and they’ve cancelled my card and reversed the charge.

I got an $88 dollar charge to my bank account. Who is this? Will report to my bank tomorrow morning.

I got a similar charge like Ann Onymous. My HSBC debit card got charge 4 times for the amount of $ 88.67 on 10/16 by HC_Charge Middletown DE. I have this HSBC debit card, but it has not been used before.

I have multiple charges similar, strangely the bank didn’t pick up on it and it looks like I’ve lost close to $2k overnight. Called the bank they said they are investigating, I said so what happens with the money that’s gone from my account? Do I get it back or? They said we have to wait for the investigation.

My son's Greenlight card just had a declined charge of $.88 from HC* HC 18457953506 DE due to wrong expiration date. Looks fraudulent and does not match his activity.

I just got my CC statement from MILESTONE/GENESIS and this charge appeared for $70.79 from HC* HC_CHARGE MIDDLETOWN DE KE SHILLING with 2 groups of numbers and a letter. No idea what or who it is. Reported it to my CC company. Gotta love modern technology

The Fraud Dept in my bank called me asking about a charge ftom HC Charge to see if it was a legit charge or fraud. I didn't make any charges using this debit card to HC Charge. Only place I used it in the past week was at Costco.

Had an unknown charge on my account yesterday for 42.21 HC * CHARGE out of Delaware. Had to dispute and report for fraud!!

Got a call from the fraud center today for a $20.45 charge showing up as HC HC from somewhere in Delaware. I’m nowhere near there so, it’s clearly fraud. Just wanted to comment to let people know it’s still a thing come December 4th.
