This one showed up on one of my credit cards. I suspect fraud and am checking it out. In the link, you see people are advising to monitor activity for other fraudulent charges on any card this comes up on.
I emailed an alert out to all, in case this is widespread. I am buying 100% the idea that this little charge tests whether your card is for real or not to the criminal.
I'll tell you what is making me plenty mad so far: this dates that are posted on the Forum start last December, yet, clearly, the credit card companies cheerfully continue to allow charges to go through. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

These types of fraud charges seem to be fairly common. A website I use, Mint.com (think of it as a financial information aggregator), has recently been trying to monitor this and will email their users if they discover they were a victim of these frauds. this isn't mint's purpose, but it's a great value added.
