How Can I Stop Classmates.com From Making Unauthorized Charges On My Account?

How can I stop Classmates/Memory Lane from making fraudulent charges on my credit card?  I have reported this to CapOne MasterCharge as fraud as I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH Classmates any longer -- it was cancelled in 2006.

I highly recommend that you use "one-time use" credit card numbers on these sites when possible.  This problem brings back fond memories of AOL and how there was no (obvious) way of cancelling your account.  In many cases the only recourse was to cancel the credit card.

If you can get a new card number assigned that might be the easiest (or least frustrating) way or at least get a new security code for the existing card since they use that as well as the number.

Classmates was recently bought out by MemoryLane.com as you know.  The billing systems were combined and when that happens there are frequently problems.
