Consumers are warned about a mysterious ICH Services charge that may appear on their credit card statement.

A release across the internet indicates that all credit card holders should be looking for a charge from a company claiming to be ICH services.

ICH services credit card fraud ring is charging innocent consumers $9.95 by somehow sneaking the charge into accounts and this charge may be overlooked on a statement, reports Actionnooz.com.

It appears that ICH services fraud has been noticed earlier in November of 2007 as WIRR--RunningDownDebt has covered the news, which we quote below.

"While reviewing my online statement for my credit card I found a very curious charge of $9.80 that I had no memory of charging, nor did I have a receipt for that amount. After calling my credit card company, I was given a company description of a "school supply/stationary" store. I was also given the following number: 1-888-401-9685. When I called the number, it went directly to a voicemail box. Being the skeptic that I am, I googled the number and called a few family members. Turns out that there are 100s of people who have had mysterious charges on their respective accounts from this company. Next was another call to the credit card company to dispute the charge. When I did this, I learned that this is indeed a FRAUD. The charge was immediately removed, my account closed, and a new card issued.

"Please check your debit and credit card statements!! The charge will be posted as "ICH Services" The amount will vary from $9.70 to $9.85. CALL YOUR BANK AND CANCEL YOUR CARD."

US Army To Replace Retired F-117 Aircrafts With F-22 Raptor

The U.S. Army is retiring the F-177 fighter pilot, replacing
it with the F-22 Raptor, which has the same stealth
technology.

The F-177 Nighthawk, the world's first attack aircraft, has been in
service for 27 years and patrolled the skies over Panama, Serbia, Iraq, and
Afghanistan. It was also the first stealth aircraft designed to overcome
radar by deflecting it away with its faceted appearance.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, the base that manages the F-117
program, will have an informal, private retirement ceremony on Tuesday.

The last F-117s scheduled to fly will leave Holloman Air Force Base in New
Mexico on April 21. They will stop in Palmdale, CA for another retirement
ceremony, then arrive on April 22 at their final destination: Tonopah Test Range
Airfield in Nevada, where the jet made its first flight in 1981.

The F-22 Raptor was initially referred as the Advanced Tactical Fighter
(ATF) and was designed to meet a USAF requirement for 750 new fighters to
replace the F-15 Eagle.

The F-22 is designed to cruise at up to Mach 1.5 without use of the
afterburner, and its unusual layout is designed for agility as well as to
incorporate stealth characteristics. The F-22B, a planned two-seat trainer
version, was cancelled.
