Evidently while I was filling out a survey online the scum hack into my computer on or about Nov. 30th and stole my banking information then signed me up for-I don't know how many programs. I wasn't sent a confirmation email or any notice what-so-ever-I only know about these because I received overdrawn notices from my bank because they got my debit card number.
The 2 I received were from "Passport To Fun" and "Shopping Essentials" at $19.95 each plus the bank fee of $20.00 per bad transaction which put my bank balance way over the limit, $190.00 because I wrote other checks to pay my bills and they haven't had time to come through yet so far.
Help me please! I can't believe this is happening! I've been awake all night crying and I can't stop. How can I possibly show my face at the bank. I don't have any money to cover the overdrawn balance and the charges from the payees. I'm going to end up arrested. Enclosed is the email I sent to Passport to Fun.
December 3
Attention: Passport to Fun
Are you having FUN yet? I never signed onto your program;please forward me the signed agreement contract. How dare you take it upon yourself to hack into my computer and use my personal information-more importantly is that how you gained access to it? We are talking about a federal offense and I intend to seek restitution for all the monies you have caused me to lose let alone my reputation.
These monies include bank fees and creditors fees due to your negligence (not mine) and illegal activity concerning my personal banking information. I've tried repeatedly to contact you by phone only to be disconnected after holding for 10-15 minutes.
Today, I received in the mail overdrawn notices from my bank plunging my checking account to a negative balance in access of $189.00 due to the posting of an unauthorized' transaction listing your company as the payee posted to my account on Nov. 30th 2005. I live on a fixed income and all the bills that I have paid this past week have bounced due to your unauthorized' use of my account.
I suspect, come Monday there will be more and more throughout the week. I'm very careful about keeping track of all my purchases and now I have so far accumulated overdrawn notices for all my transactions because your company posted prior to my deposit and with each notice I am charged $20.00 by my bank and anywhere from $20.00 to $50.00 from the creditor. Had I received a confirmation email I would have refused membership.
I've been researching the web just now and have noticed that your so-called company is known for ripping off people after gaining access to personal information. I will contact my attorney and begin a lawsuit Monday the 5th of December.
