About a week ago, I noticed a check 1001 dated April 11 for $19.95 and made out to Three, Inc. I knew I hadn't authorized anything to that company so I called the bank to see what it was. They said they'd get back to me. At the time, we thought it might have been a fee for e-filing taxes.
Last night, I checked my balance and noticed another check, dated April 21, #1002 and made out to $19.75 but to a different company, DCL-ENV. Now I knew that wasn't right, so I looked at the electronic picture of check 1001 and discovered the phone number on the memo line was the same in both cases. I had already called the bank for the last one. This time I Googled the number and came up with various fraud reports. I made copies and marched in right after work, closed my account and opened a new one. It's a pain, but better than paying these con-men.
The bank was wonderful. Their Security Department was very glad to get the information. I signed papers stating that I did not authorize the Remote Checks. Thankfully, I will get my money back.
However, with everything else I need to get done, this was a nasty inconvenience and I feel violated by the repeated assault on my account. I also know a few other people who used GreenZap. I am contacting them as well.
I'll file a police report tomorrow.
I want their blood... And I will definitely do all I can to ensure these jerks get caught.
