sears.com 9301 847-286-1940 IL Have reported fraud to cc company. Did not make this charge at Sears and what is worse is there is no way to contact anyone at Sears for explanation! This number only leads to a voicemail (no name of contact) and cc company has had same issue trying to contact Sears.

I had the same thing happen today on 16SEP13 @ 0854 EDT. This is a scam that is fraud charges and that means canceling your current CC and have it replaced with a new one. That's what I had to do. Don't bother calling Sears, it's a waste of time...No answers from Sears.

I, too, had 2 charges post to my bank from Sears.com. I was able to chat with someone at Sears about this, and they had no order/charge from my debit card number. Apparently someone is able to get the CC or debit card numbers and have a fake description come up in the description line you see for the charges.

Recently I was called by "allegedly" Sears Fraud team and they wanted me to confirm an order for which a $133.00 point of sale had been made also to clarify the last four of my credit card. I told the representative that I had not ordered anything from Sears and since I did not know to whom I was actually speaking I would not confirm any information other than the fact that that I had not placed an order from Sears. The representative then informed me that someone had made a downpayment of $133.00 for an item and that if I had not placed an order he was going to mark it as fraud and suggested I call my cc company, file a fraud notification, and that Sears had not charged my card. I contacted my bank and explained what was transpiring and they said they would investigate and that they were canceling my current card and issuing a new one. I received confirmation from my bank about 10 days later and they confirmed that no money had been removed from my account and they would not be taking any further action. This may or may not help anyone, all I can suggest is to carefully monitor your bank statements, use your debit card as a credit card. You cannot be held liable for fraud if you run your card as credit while running your card as a debit is a gray area.
