A charge just appeared on my card for a business listed as "VIP Tune." Have you ever heard of this company?

Your question rang a bell. This same question was asked a few days ago - here is the link along with the 35 (yes 35) responses to it. Apparently you're not the first one having this problem.

nope, but if you don't think you made the charge, or even if you did but don't remember, call your credit card company, they can investigate or at least give you the phone number of the company so you can contact them
This happend to us this too! It was $29.99 from VIP Tune on our VISA bill. We reported it and hopefully this can get resolved quickly!
There is another link to this same question:

Welcome to the club! My Wells Fargo Visa/ATM card got hit for $29.99 on 7/11 by VIP TUNE LIMASSOL CY. Turns out Limassol is a resort area of Cyprus. Wells reversed the charge after I faxed back their fraud form.
I've had this card less than 6 months. Its never been used for Amazon or TJ Max as others have suggested elsewhere as a possible link? Also never used PayPal, Bluehost or anything similar.
Also, like a fool, I opened an emai link to an "E-Card from a friend" that I recieved 1 day before my birthday. I got no card, but later that same day placed an on-line order. Maybe some kind of keystroke logger??
I got hit too on 7/13 for $29.99 on my business Visa that has been used at Amazon recently. I also noticed another victim list Bluehost.com as having their credit card and they have mine too. BlueHost is a lot more obscure than Amazon.
Just got a call from my credit union about suspicious activity (credit card through bank, not debit), they froze the card instantly after the 10:30am $29.99 charge from VIP Tune in Cyprus (the country, not Cypress the town) knowing this is fraud. Reps I talked to all knew this as fraud and are having more and more cases daily. I'm an IT tech, so I tend not to throw my information around and such, but did make a transaction to new company JefaTech Wireless yesterday. Have used card in PayPal, which seems a growing commonality in what I've read from others that have been hit. Though it could have been gathered anywhere anytime and being used now. Bank reversed charge, new card/number is on the way.
We got hit with this charge on our Citibank AT&T Universal Card. I just received my latest statement today with a charge from 7/6/07 by VIP Tune in Limassol CYP (Cypress). We've never heard of this company before, and didn't authorize the charge for any reason. They are obviously a fraudulent company, and are making these false charges on many credit cards around the same time. I called my company, and they appeared to be unaware of any problem with VIP Tune. However, when I pressed further, the customer service rep admitted that she had incomplete information for them, including no valid phone number. I can't even contact the company. Citibank has VIP Tune listed as a musical supply company, and list sheet music and musical instruments under their description. We can't play or read music! The charge is officially "disputed" and under investigation. After I complete an affidavit and follow some process they will remove the charge from my account. Report these false charges to your credit card company immediately to dispute the charge. I'm surprised that more of their fraud detection software/departments aren't catching it before we see the charges. They should send their employees to Yahoo for some Answers! :-)
Got hit earlier today. The charge is still pending on my Wells debit card. $29.99. "VIP Tune Limassol 00".
In the past six months, I've used this card at various gas stations only. No online purchases whatsoever. There doesn't seem to be any strong correlation here, and I suspect that my credit card might get hit next.
