I checked my bank account today and found a check that posted yesterday. Since the check # did not sound correct and I did not recognize the payment amount, I viewed the check to find that the name and address on the account were not mine.
After calling my bank's 24 hour phone service, I called the company, BBU Interservices, using the phone # that was listed on the check. The lady that answered asked me for my name, which I refused to provide. She then asked me for the TX #, which I also found on the check. When I provided her the TX #, she recited my bank account # back to me. I asked her where she got my checking account information from, she said there was on online magazine subscription purchased using my account information. She said that she would give me a refund, but I did not feel comfortable providing her with any additional information. She told me I would have to go to a website and unsubscribe. At this point, I am very concerned with how they got my account information and it cleared my account with the incorrect name and address. This should have been questioned by my bank before posting to my account. I will be calling my bank first thing in the morning to dispute the charge and hopefully get my money back.
I am definitely all for a class action suit. This company is stealing our hard earned money and need to be stopped.
