I recently ordered a Blueray DVD from amazon costing Ã‚Â£17.98 and today on my latest online statement I have been CREDITED that same Ã‚Â£17.98 from a company called PTI EUROPE REGION GBP REVERSAL. The DVD arrived two days ago and the amount hasn't been taken but added to my account. If it's a scam I like it!

Just found this so I guess I'll be charged by Amazon later sometime, but if they do I'll still have a free DVD as I have not been charged by PTI but only credited.

"I can confirm that PTI Europe has been used accidentally as the merchant descriptor (which appears on the cardholder statement) for a few days worth of transactions for all of Chase Paymentech's merchants. Chase Paymentech are in the process of reversing the PTI Europe transactions, and re-processing the transactions using the correct merchant descriptor. This is not fraud, no need to cancel cards or issue chargebacks. You will soon see your Amazon, Google, AOL etc transactions."
