Well, I got ahold of someone at Hosting Soutions and they have verified that the charge to my card is a fraud. They also have stated that a rash of charges have hit their site as of late, so online-buyer beware. They said they would refund my charge.
My bank is looking into the problem and I guess the online companies are going to trace back via the ISP addresses to see what they find. The emails, of course, are all different 'fake' emails used from diffenent sites such as Hotmail, Yahoo, www.com?, and others.
All of this in 1 day, my bank was surprised on how fast I acted. I guess it takes some clients days or even a month to realize there have been false charges. I guess it pays to check the balance/charges daily.
I'll keep you posted,
JT
