We’ve recently received multiple reports from individuals who have noticed unauthorized charges on their credit card statements labeled as originating from Pittsburgh Community Services Inc. (PCSI), often categorized as “Digital Goods, Movies, Books” or “Entertainment”.
Please be advised that PCSI does not and will never charge your card for donations or services you did not explicitly authorize. These charges are fraudulent and appear to be the result of a bad actor spoofing our organization’s name.
If you see such a charge on your account, we strongly encourage you to:
- Report the charge to your bank or credit card provider immediately.
- Let us know by emailing deborahm@pghcsi.org or calling 412-904-4700, so we can track these incidents and report them to the appropriate authorities.
We’ve spoken with bank representatives who advised that customer reports are essential to triggering a formal investigation. The more reports they receive, the faster they can act.
Thank you for your vigilance and support.
