My wife and I were checking our bank statement online and found we had been charged $16.95 from WC Value Plus, Minnesota.
We looked at each other and asked what could that be. Neither one of us recognized that company or amount.
I then contacted them by the phone number on our bank statement.
I asked the guy what kind of company this was and he said it was for a membership. He was real rude and just kept saying what do you want me to do with your membership, I said what membership, he said what do you want me to do with your membership again, I said we did'nt sign up for any membership, He said I've cancelled your membership, I said all we want is a refund, He said you should receive your refund within the next two banking statements and hung up!
This is our first time to ever be scammed from our bank account.
We don't understand because we thought we were using a very secure bank and debit card, everything is encrypted and we even had to have our pictures on them for security purposes!
This is very disturbing, because according to complaints this has been happening to other individuals for around 4-6 years, so why has'nt our sophisticated government been able to crack these con artist's?
