Sometime the week of January 08th I received an email from a CASH ADVANCE company, I completed the form for the "pre-approved" cash advance and was subsequently denied.in the form I included my banks ABA routing number and my checking account number (really stupid I know) I was denied the cash advance by the company and several pop ups and credit card offers later, to which I chose NO to their offers, I turned off my computer ignorant of what was to transpire. January 12, my account was debited in the form of a CHECK in the amount of $159.95 payable to EDB Card. I did not authorize nor did I have a clue what EDB card was. I did some internet research and found that I was the victim of a SCAM. The company obviously acquired my banking information from the form I had completed for a cash advance, which I was denied and I do not have any idea how or when they acquired my authorization. I have tried calling this company and am greeted by a pleasant automated voice that puts you on hold for no longer than 12 minutes, you are never able to contact a human being to resolve your issues. The web address is a joke. The emails come back returned and they charge your phantom credit card for operator assisteded calls. I was able to get an extension number, any number from 3250 to 3259 will send you to a person's voicemail, the same person for all extension numbers. I am going to pursue this the best I can and I hope this company can be stopped from further fraudulent activity.
