NORDSTROM DIRECT #0808 CEDAR RAP

"NORDSTROM DIRECT #0808" is the code of Nordstrom's online store. When you first make a purchase, they authorize your card for the total amount, plus estimated tax. Then when each item ships, they charge the final price of each item that shipped. The initial charge is just an authorization, so it drops off your pending transactions on your card at the end. This is my experience.

For all the folks saying it's fraud, it sounds like someone stole your card and made a purchase online with Nordstrom--this you should report to your credit card company immediately.

NORDSTROM DIRET CEDAR RAPIDS US $1,934.11

Never shopped at Nordstrom.

I received a Vanilla Visa gift card. I went to use it for the first time and the card was denied. I went home & looked it up; found 4 different transactions for Nordstrom Direct #0808- totaling the amount of the gift card minus a dollar. Nordstrom wasn't able to help, but the Vanilla Visa center is allowing me to file paperwork to get the funds back.

I had a charge of 79.85 on August 25th for nordstrom direct 0808. What no one so far has done is a forensic on the accounts and unusual actions. Please feel free to tell if this pattern was what happened. Many do not check their account online daily but I do so I saw an anomaly the day before.

Forensic day 1 ....I saw 6 charges for a company named BOX.com. I went straight to the bank. They said it looked like someone made 3 separate purchases but realized that they had entered the wrong credit card number ( 3 times) and then refunded because they canceled each other out and resulted in no charge. That may have been a test phish.

2nd part of the forensic: The VERY next day a Nordstrom direct 0808 appeared and I went back to the bank, They suggested canceling the card , (I did) and letting it drop off. It didn't drop off and now I have filed a claim with the bank.

3rd part of my forensic. I realized that the only place on the internet with that particular card was Amazon. So I changed the Amazon on record card. My suspicion is that someone is data mining cards from Amazon, running a refunded test run, mine was run on a company named Box.com ( that would not show up on your statement because it drops off but you could see it live in the pending stage ) and then placing an order with places like Nordstroms direct.

I just saw a charge on my company card for over $900 for Nordstrom #0808. I had no idea how my company card was compromised but after reading other posts on here the only thing I saw from multiple people that was relevant to me is I recently received a Visa Vanilla gift card for mothers day. The first transaction I tried to do on it was declined. I logged on to their site to see if the card was active and it said yes. The second time I used it in a store it worked. I am wondering if using Visa Vanilla Gift Cards website somehow is compromised and it was able to access my browsers saved payment profile in order to hack my company card. My Visa gift card was not charged by nordstrom by my credit card was. Somebody else purchased the gift card for me so its not like my card that was compromised was even associated in any way to the vanilla gift card. I am still not sure how it happened but I do see a pattern here with the Visa Vanilla gift cards and people getting declined trying to use it and then seeing this nordstrom charge later.

Same as what is talked about above. 295.00 NORDSTROM DIRECT #0808 on my Capital One card. Reported it; they locked my card and will issue a new one.

I had a prepaid Visa card from my employer .I used it twice,at 2 different places. I got a text yesterday about 2 charges online for Nordstrom direct totaling the balance I had left on the card.242.80.

My debit card was used to purchase $640.24. I never shop at Nordstrom. My bank cancelled the card and hopefully this bogus charge will be removed from my account. Too bad you don't verify the validity of purchases made at your store.

I been reading all this reviews and one conclusion “they are scammers” some how i also was victim of this rare scam or fraud, i bought a vainilla gift card on 7/22/2020 around 5:pm-6:00pm before going to get a nap i call to make sure balance was right in that moment everything was fine then i when to work around 11:30pm i check the card again and it was showing 0 balance guess where the money was spend?? obviously it was in NordStrom in cedar rapid Iowa. this people need to be investigated too many cases of fraud ,scam and even hacking all of this always end pointing at this company.

My ATM card was fraudulently charged by NORDSTROM DIRECT #0808. They got me for $1709.39. I noticed it while it was stilled pending and called my bank. They canceled my card and had me talk to fraud detection dept. Since the charge was still pending, they could do anything about it. I had to wait for the charge to post and then call back. I called back and was on hold a long time. Called back again early the next morning, before my coffee and with a scratchy morning voice. Nothing done except to send me some paperwork that I need to fill out and return in 10 days. Why did I need to call back? Why couldn’t the paper work be sent while it’s still pending? Unfortunately Im on vacation for two weeks and might not get that paperwork back in time. NORDSRTOM DIRECT #0808 is obviously a fraudulent charge so why do I have to mess around with paperwork? I think I’ll use cash on vacation!

I have just been charged $307.19 on my bank card. I definitely did not purchase anything from Nordstrom Direct. On my way to the bank!

My Nordstrom account was hacked and my in store qr was used to purchase items in Houston and LA. Does Nordstrom know about this issue with the QR codes?

I just got hit with a $707.69 charge. Bank text me, I declined, and now they have to send a new card. :(

Sounds like I'm just one of many on here with this problem, but here goes...There was a pending charge from Nordstrom Direct #0808 for $1,067.14. We have since filed a claim through Capital One and are having a new card issued.

I did not authorize a charge for $410 from my account. I have no idea where this charge came from. I had to cancel my card and get a new one. Just so happens that only one thing comes out of my account automatically and prayerfully I can get that changed in time and get the money put back into my account. I have to file a fraud statement with my credit union to get that money put back into my account. It was too late to cancel before hand.

This a charge for online purchase done from Nordstrom online .. The store numbers is 808 And the name is nordstrom direct .. Located in Cedar Rapids iowa

This is a fraud charge! I just called to cancel and replace my credit card. Thank God I was charged almost 1500USD...

Charged on my VISA. $321.18 by Nordstrom Direct 0808. We did not purchase anything from Nordstrom. Contacted my bank and they are going to remove the charge and cancel and reissue my credit card.

Received a text message from Wells Fargo 4x tonight regarding my debit card (which I almost never use).

$722.70 for the first alert (locked the card right away through the app), $366.83 for the second (got denied), $722.70 again (got denied again). 4th message was Wells Fargo saying card is getting denied because its off (Thank Goodness).

I am most concerned by the fact that the card almost never leaves the house. But, Wells Fargo is replacing the card and cancelled any attempted withdraws.

I was given a visa vanilla gift card as a Christmas gift this year from my parents. The starting balance was $100. I activated my card late night on Christmas eve, approximately 11pm. I tried to use my card at autozone on 12-26 at 9:30am but my card was declined. Insufficient funds. I set up an online account with Visa vanilla gift cards so that I could see the recent transactions and saw that there is a pending transaction for $97.95 from Nordstrom direct #0808. There is another set of numbers that im unsure what they are actually for. The number is O50021C08686. I contacted the visa vanilla customer service center first and was informed that there was nothing that they could do to help me as the transaction is still pending. I was told to contact the merchant to stop the charge from going through so I did just that. Nordstrom was of absolutely no help. I spoke with a woman who said her name was Holly. Holly searched for my card number in their database of pending transactions and found nothing. Now, I did mention to both customer service centers that the transaction was said to have taken place at 11:31am and it wasn't even 11:00am at the time of the calls. I have read all of the stories on here and am at a loss as what to do to resolve this issue. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated as I dont know who to contact next or what to do. Please help me!

I just got hit with a $707.69 charge. Bank text me, I declined, and now they have to send a new card. :(

Luckily I happen to open an odd package sent via USPS today, what I noticed first, no business name, just the return address which I later found out, does not exist. Secondly, it was an item I did not order, therefore I contacted USPS, given lack of business name and non-existent address sent to my address. Thirdly was to check all my credit accounts for a charge matching the item sent to me from an unknown source. This is when I spotted charges pending for $840.90 and $1,062.40 from nordstromdirect, both dated Oct 29, 2018, order ultimately coming from shop.nordstrom.com. I immediately phoned Nordstrom, was informed I hadn't made any online transactions with the company in over a year! I called American Express Fraud Department, American Express is well aware of such activity, asking if I was willing to have the transaction "go through" in order to catch whomever happens to be using credit card thus prosecuting any and all individuals involved. I declined, as I also realized my credit card being appropriated to other uses after I used it to make purchases on Amazon website October 5th, 2018. Not cool Amazon!!! I closed Amazon account, erased cookies, etc., also informed family members with Amazon accounts that save payment information not to use debit cards attached to banking accounts, instead use bank credit cards that offer protection. Good Luck to everyone who's had to deal with these cowards for that is what they are...

Just happened to me as well. Not happy....Two charges for $141.47 were charged to my debit card. I called Nordstrom and they weren't much help. I googled Nordstrom Direct #0808 and it brought me to this. I immediately went to my bank to notify them so they could hopefully clear the charge and also have my card cancelled and replaced.

I must have got off lucky, they just hit me for $515, but got a text from my card company and got a refund. My credit card company called Nordstrom and was told they could not find the charge. Canceled my card and checked all my other cards and nothing on them so put alerts on every cards.

$360 charge here. I don't think I've shopped at Nordstrom's in 20 years. Fortunately we get a text message every time a charge clears our account, and with this one we got an additional text from our bank asking if we had actually made the charge. Not sure if my bank just picked up on it as unusual activity, or they just know I'm too broke to shop there. Within 5 minutes of the charge hitting, we were on the phone with them and now have a cancelled card. Boo.

This scam is still going strong, just got hit today with $190.63 on 9/17/2016, called my bank and reported it IMMEDIATELY, also cancelled my card. Not a great way to wake up from a nap, ugh!

Me too. Just called my credit card company and got my card cancelled. Thanks for posting this.

I just notified my credit card company of the Nordstrom #0808 charge. Over $1800 0n Dec 22nd. Manually entered. I live in New York State, USA.

A Fraudulent charge for $528.94 to Nordstrom Direct was posted to our Credit Card. Nordstrom confirmed they did not verify the Cardholder Name or but did drop-ship Bose Speakers to a different Street Address, City and State than is ours. Apparently, Nordstrom Security doesn't verify Card Info or Ship To info on their end. We called our Bank, had to report the Fraudulent Charge, Cancel the Card, Re-issue, etc. Good on our Bank, Bad on Nordstrom...

wife's debit card hacked. $1478 from pc.richard.com and possibly 9 others from Nordstromdir.com.. totaling thousands.. checking acct is negative hundreds... I disabled overdraft from savings acct..called Nordstrom and like another poster said they weren't much help, as if they could care less or don't have the tools necessary to help? we cancelled her card last Thursday and the charges are still coming? (its Monday) Bank has been good about crediting the first $1478 and the rest I am hoping are in process..

I have the same Nordstrom charge on January 21 - I called Nordstrom to cancel but they are saying its not in their system

I too have been hit with the same fraudulent entry on my credit card statement. I live in Australia and have never been to USA.

Just got a notification from Discover that my $756.68 charge from Nordstrom was declined due to not having enough available credit. I have never shopped at Nordstrom either online or in person. Charge came up Nordstrom Direct 08. Discover has cancelled my card and is issuing me a new one.

Nordstrom Direct Online Cedar Rapids IA, $116 charge- will be filing a police report whereupon Nordstrom Financial Services will release information not made publicly available even to fraud victim like the IP Address where the purchase was completed. The criminal was trying to order a cross body bag and Tori Birch sandals yesterday. I have a feeling someone at a hospital visit stole my information during my surgery. A 500lb bimbo-like nurse with grey curly pube like hair had me leave my belongings in a room other than the operating room. A room which happened to be used for another during my surgery; even though my personal belongings were laid out on a chair in said room. That hospital must have no locker or personal belonging system for patients. Anyway the crook tried to make charges next day. I happened to catch it by checking my bank account balance. I am disgusted and if the IP Address matches the same city of the hospital which would be too coincidental to not be valid SOMEBODY IS GETTING FIRED OR AT LEAST WRITTEN UP. Hospitals have cameras! It was right across the hall from a reception desk!!!
