Called my Credit Card company, they researched it then and there, came back and blocked my card from this company. No problem!

However, in my real life I was a researcher for a Govt.Agency. I searched this charge on the computer this morning and found that whoever these people are, they are doing this to hundreds, maybe thousands, of card holders. They even have the correct number for Consumer Reports.

So just a heads up to check your credit card bill each month and take nothing for granted.
Each month? I check mine roughly every other day.
