I just discovered a fraudulent charge from OPMDIRECT.com on a credit card I use exclusively online. I talked with a few online merchants and learned that a card processor was hacked last week and this could be the result.
I went to opmdirect.com and found a site "under construction". I have no idea who they are. Anyone heard of them?

Angela,
You are not alone. There are numerous complaints on the net about unauthorized charges by OPMDIRECT.com. Those who contact them are promised refunds that never come or they are given the runaround. Contacting them only increases the chance they will charge your card again. I had the bank reissue my credit card and do a chargeback. See other victims' complaints under this topic heading at creditinsiders.com.
I've traced opmdirect.com from France to Hong Kong, from Korea to Gibraltar (last time I checked). When I turned them in to the Internet Fraud Center and others (see my earlier opmdirect post for list) my complaint was also forwarded to local law enforcement. I got a call from the local police chief informing me that their forensic computer specialist had contacted opmdirect.com and was told my bill was for access to an adult site in France. (which I had never heard of) Part of opmdirect's strategy is to embarrass their victims if they report the fraudulent charge. Many, in the states and abroad, have reported much the same experience.
When I tried to visit the opmdirect.com site a month ago to see what I could find out, before the page would load, a pop-up asked me whether I wanted to download something to view the site better. When I declined it started downloading anyway and my computer became unresponsive. I had to shut it down. They could be trying to download some nasty spyware, like a redialer that tells your modem to connect to a long-distance number.
OPMDIRECT.com is not legitimate. They claim to be a credit card "processing company". Their one client (the adult site) is just a long series of pop-ups, mousetraps, and pagejackings. They stole my credit card numer, tried to steal $40.50 by billing my credit card, and then lied to my local police department about the adult site in an attempt to embarrass me.
I wouldn't mess with them. Turn them in and dispute the charge. My bank refunded my money but admitted they were still having trouble doing the chargeback - something about a bank in France.

Check the archives at http://creditinsiders.com and search for "opmdirect.com". Many talked to a nice lady who promised a refund and none came. This is a stalling tactic so the deadline to dispute the charge expires.
