I recently inspected my credit card statements and have noted that Global Personals Ltd have been deducting money from my credit card from as far back as last year. I have no idea as to why they have charged my account as I do not belong to any dating/chat service. I consider this to be fraudulent in nature and practice.

Same thing happened to me in Australia. I've never signed up to any of their sites. And been charged $39 + $89 the same day.. I've contacted my bank to notify them of this fraud. Funny thing is I envy how much they're making from this scam. I think they gather credit card information, or even have a credit card generator and they use the random card generator to bill you. If you happen to be one of the unlucky one your credit card will be hit with this charge.. They make all these dating sites to give them an excuse for their purposes of fraud.. And to collect more credit card informations. Also they setup a call center to hide behind the fact that they're doing massive fraud.
