Consumers beware! When checking our bill for our BofA VISA card this week-end I noticed a charge for $99.99 from a travel service. We immediately called customer service for B of A, and the girl said oh yes they know who they are. We asked if they could tell us, since this was an unauthorized charge on our account. The girl said you can call them, but they're not opened on the week-ends.
How did this happen? You know all of the "flyers" you get when you open your credit card bills? Well, I for one throw them away as I am not interested in buying a diamond ring, or a pen set through this kind of crap. Well, apparently, they are one of the "flyers" and if you don't take a look at this "flyer" it says in small print that you need to return this "flyer" or they will charge your account.
Bank of America is fully aware of this fraudulent act, in fact, they're probably making money off of it. The girl would not help us at all. I personally don't read all of the junk mail we get, didn't think I had to.
So, everyone be careful, look at what you get from these crooks. I'll update you with the name of the company as soon as we find out.
