I signed up with a much talked about interracial site.

At the join page, there was a pre-checked box trying to cross sell another site; I didn´t even look at the name of the site, I just unchecked the box (yeah, being an adult webmater, I am sure I unchecked it).

Some days later, surprise: an unexpected charge from PayCom in the amount of US$39.98 (the original site I signed up with costed US$ 29.99); I didn´t get an email, no ID, no password. The CC statement says PAYCOM.net* PCI, but I have no idea which site this could be.

I contacted the original site, they directed me to PayCom.
I went to PayCom, used their form, sent a few messages explaining the situation, I never heard back from them (no wonder people get more and more suspicious about adult sites).
I will contact Visa, I will dispute that charge and any rebill (due soon, I guess).

So, if you run a site with PayCom and your billing descriptor is PAYCOM.net* PCI, you will be a few chargebacks closer to your VISA threshold.

EDITING: on a second thought: does anybody know which site bills as PayCom *PCI? I will try to contact them and see if the chargebacks are avoided.
Thanks.
