Question:

Several small amount credit card transactions to foreign "banks" that I don't recognize? May I call Interpol?

I've been billed several times by unknown companies located in Spain,Israel,Cyprus,Malta and UK.

These transactions are small amount (from 1€ up to 29€), and I think that I have been scammed by someone who managed to get my credit card information ( maybe an employee or an accomplice of an employee, in a reliable adult site).

I have blocked my card, and I will have a new one soon.

And I am going to file a complaint of course.

But should I also call the police in every mentionned country, so that they can check the data of the wires and verify where is this 'bank" ? Israeli ,spanish,cypriot police could do it and catch the "bank" owner, right ?

Or maybe should I call Interpol ?

Give me a good piece of advice, please ...

Thank you in advance.

  1. Contact your credit card company.  

    Interpol is an information sharing organization between national law enforcement organizations.  They are not really an international police force.


  2. Contact your bank and the credit card company

  3. notify cred. card co. - let them handle it

  4. Many credit card companies charge a small fee for out-of-country monetary transactions, usually a percentage of the original purchase. Sometimes the fee will show up as a separate transaction - possibly at a "bank". Of course, this would only show up on your card within a day or two of a purchase.

    If you know that's not the case, then maybe calling Interpol would be a good idea. It could only help.
