The Red Tape Chronicles details a credit card scam where an ebook company fraudulently charges consumers for ebooks they never ordered. Oddly, when you find the company’s hidden “customer service” number, they’re very quick to issue refunds. Using eBooks is clever, too. That way, if they’re raided, the only inventory they will have to show are a few digital files It’s almost like they know how to just skirt on the edge of the law… hmm…chin scratch….

The line items to watch out for on your credit card bill are Digismarket.com and MyLiberia.com, and are usually charges of under $10. Always scour your credit card bill every month and follow up on charges you don’t recognize.
