ORIENTAL TRADING CO 800-2280475, NE

I was charged $175.08 by OTC brands overnight. I woke up to the amount pending. The transaction supposedly happened just before 4am. Can not do a single thing whilst transaction is pending. I can file a dispute claim for unlawful or fraudulent activity on my card after the amount has been withdrawn. It would be annoying if it was $10, maybe even $30, but just shy of $200 is unacceptable. I hope that the people that do this stuff get what’s coming to them.

These scammers are alive and well as tonight my bank account has a charge from OTC NE8002280475. Cleary a global scam as I am not in the US. Why can't they get a real job like the rest of us! This thread is really helpful, thank you.

I have been charged on my SamsClub credit card for 26.99 dated July 01,2021 ref # 75265865PV3WTVBZK. I don't recall if I sent for anything. Can you please check and see? Thank You

OTC Brands is the "Oriental Trading Company" which sells party goods and supplies, educational items, supplies for teachers, etc. The phone number 800-2280475 is their main information number. They are a long-established company that sells through paper catalogs mailed to customers, through Amazon, etc. If you see the name Mindware that is a brand sold by Oriental Trading Company, for many educational products for children. We got this OTC entry on our credit card bill because we bought the excellent and very popular toy called Magna-Tiles.

Today July 20, 2017 was this pending debit in my CHASE account for $10.97 with an immediate pending reversal:
"POS DEBIT OTC BRANDS INC. 800-2280475 NE"

I don't use my debit card for orders and don't carry it with me. I called 800-228-0475 but was refused information on the transaction because I said it wasn't my order.

Of course the bank took care of it and I cancelled that card. Seems odd that others have had fraudulent charges with that name. Maybe someone is spoofing the company name like they do with telephone numbers on caller ID.

I noticed a recurring charge on my bank account for $15.94 per month from January to September of this year. I purchased a ‘religious’ gift online for my grandson. There must have been some fine print in the order and I was automatically enrolled in the rewards program. I only realized this because I recevied a check in June for $2.04 from FUN REWARDS. Not knowing what it was for, I didn’t cash it but it kept gnawing at me. In Sept, I saw the recurring charges and saw that I was charged 9 times. I called the company to ask for reimbursement. They told me then it was for my FUN REWARDS subscription and would I like to cancel. That told me that they are aware of their scam. They would only reimburse me for 6 of the 9 charges, stating that their accounting dept would not permit them to go any further. BUYER BEWARE! Read everything. I’ve been ordering from OTC for years. I never thought they would stoop so low. But they did, and now I am wiser for it.

OTC inc hit our account this morning for $9.97 luckily all these reviews were here and on other sites, and we disputed the transaction and cancelled the card immediately. Funny enough I experienced a gentleman yesterday who was a little too close when using the debit card yesterday, he def rubbed me the wrong way and I intentionally hid my pin # as I entered it, but did tell my husband of the incident and that it made me uncomfortable, and then we wake up this morning to this charge. This is definitely credit card scimming, if you receive a charge from them, immediately cancel your card because upon research it shows they hit your account for a small amount and if it’s not disputed immediately they go back and hit it again for a larger amount, some people are being charged up to $4,000!!! Be careful out there! Watch your account daily!

I had a mysterious charge on my debit card from OTC Brands for $16.26 for about 4 months. I finally called them and asked about it, and somehow, when I purchased some items from them I also signed up for their “Fun Club” which is $16 a month. They cancelled the Club when I requested it without any issue at all.

Someone just charged $14 from otc and I didn't buy anything from them.... Defiantly skimming!!! Cxld my card and reported to the bank. Hope they get caught!

I received a notification from my Bank that there were a lot of transactions from yesterday (9 July and today) made from OTC Brand Inc. I didn't do any business dealing with them but luckily the card number they use is not activated. I told the bank to cancel the card and I told them not to replace it.

why is my account being bothered? i was charged for 14.95 on May 27.. I didn't order anything on that day..

Noticed a charge to our acct for $162.98, July 9, 2018 from: OTC Brands Inc 8002280475 NEUS Neither my wife or I made this purchase, let alone ever heard of this "company". Contacted our bank, reported a hack to our acct and they cancelled the charge and reversed the funds. Turns out my card number had been stolen and used to make the purchase. My bank cancelled my card and issued me a new card with new number. I called the OTC, Oriental Trading Company, at the 800 number and asked about the purchase. They refused to give me any information. I told them my card number had been stolen to make this purchase and they hung up. Be VERY careful with these "people".
