[BC] Russian spy software

A couple of months ago I received a statement
from a credit card I had not used in two years.
It had a charge of $5.86 from DWG Consulting
in Maryland. I did not recognize the company
so I called the CC company. They said it was 
for advertising.

I told them I made no such charge and I thought
I had cancelled that card. They gave me an 877
toll free number to call for DWG. This was a very
familiar scenario, I believe I went down this road
before. I entered that number in a Google search
and thousands of hits came up. It was a scam run
by the Russian mob. Needless to say, I cancelled
the card and the charge was removed.
