Dead people. Fake people. Cartoon characters.

Now, it looks like Obama supporters are going after unsuspecting credit card fraud victims, too. Better check your Visa and Amex bills twice:

Report: Credit card fraud for Obama

A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam.

Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month — a $2300 donation to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The Larman’s say they don’t want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they’re not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook.

They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud.

“(They) said that they had seen-they were familiar with this,” said Steve Larman. “It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were going to be doing some more investigations.”

The Larman’s don’t want their politics to enter into what is essentially just a fraudulent charge. But they say that the charge involves the Obama campaign adds insult to injury for the registered Republicans.

“They (Chase) kept on asking me ‘are you sure you wouldnt have gone to a site in support of Obama’,” said Rachel Larman. “And I repeatedly said ‘Im voting for McCain - I would not be going to an Obama site’.”

Chase dropped the charge from the Larman’s card. The couple is thankful thay they caught the charge on the card, but worried that others may not see that type of fraud on their own credit cards before it’s too late.

Cases like this should be properly investigated - if there is some mass attempt to take funds fraudulantly then of course it should be prosecuted. Let's see what happens.

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I smell credit card fraud by proxy here. The proxy being someone with enough *talent* to think that the authorities wouldn't find out that he/she is yet another disgruntled Republican trying to smear the Obama campaign. Oh well. :lol:

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.

You mean, they haven't been stealing credit card details en masse? Say it isn't so...I'm still waiting for the FBI investigation - if that's the guys who investigate this stuff.

Heck at this point of the smear campaign I'll take FBI investigation into "Obama is a _________" for 1000, Alex.

No kidding.

Having some phone company experience I can also think of one or two ways these 'customers' consented themselves into donating via proxies too.

Any number of reasons this could happen - not least some sort of malicious grudge against the couple in question.

If this happened through telemarketing they would obviously have to have given out their credit card number.
