OT - How common is this credit card scam?

For the second time in the last year, I've had to call a scamming company to have them remove a $119.00 Visa charge. Each time, the story is that I have cashed a $2.50 check and thus enrolled in a: a discount travel service and b: a discount health service.
Here's the site for the last one:

It should go without saying I have never cashed a check like this; most likely I never even opened the envelope because I throw this sort of junk away unopened.
I called them up, gave a piece of my mind to two "customer service representatives" and one "supervisor" and got an unenrollment confirmation number. They also agreed to send me photocopies of the check I "cashed", photocopied on both sides so I could see my "signature." Hahahahahahaha. Doubt I'll ever see that. I also called Visa & disputed the charge.
Damn this sort of thing pisses me off.
