Has anyone else had to deal with the hell of finding a charge from "M-TECHINC.COM" of Basking Ridge, NJ on a credit card bill? (The company phone number appears to resolve to somewhere in Arkansas. They have a "blind" voice messaging system ... no company name or identifiers are provided on the voice message, just an opportunity to leave voicemail or send a fax.)

I have never dealt with this company, and on checking their website discovered that I have NEVER heard of them or their products, nor, certainly, have I ever made any purchases of downloaded web or logo templates from them.

Going to their website you find, on their front page, a mysterious link that asks: "What is M-TECHINC.com billing me for?"

Resolution with my credit card company was simple, they credited me $9.95 and responded to my request to cancel my card since obviously security has been compromised on it. What's interesting/scary, though is that the card that the charge appeared on is NOT one that I regularly use online. In fact, it's one that I pretty much don't use at all.
