I received an overdraft notice on a seldom used Citizen's Bank checking account. I didn't understand a charge of $39.99- I didn't authorize anyone to charge this account. The company was called Pink Home Entertainment. I can't find any such company on the internet but I can find complaints about them charging consumers without authorization.
I called the phone number given on the bank authorization and the young women who answered said she was just the 3rd party biller for them and that she would refund the $39.99 in 7 to 10 business days. She told me that this was set up to be a monthly reoccurring payment and that she would cancel the transaction so I wouldn't be billed next month.
After reading posts from others who have been scammed, I'm not sure that she was actually from a 3rd party biller or that they will be crediting my account. I guess they think if they keep the amount small that most people won't think to check to see if it's legitimate. I am working with my bank's fraud department to get get my money and the over-draft fees refunded.
