A few days ago while I was checking my banking account online I noticed that there was a $9.00 charge for a company that I didn't recognize, WIL*RESERVATIONREWARDS.Co. I had never heard of this company and I certainly didn't order anything from them.
I have no idea where they got my debit card number from. The only place that I had used it in the last several months was online at Columbiahouse.com. My guess would be that either Columbiahouse gave it to them or they somehow stole it off of them.
Before I contested the charge I wanted to look the company up on the Internet. Now I'm really glad that I did since I now know that it's a ripoff. So I will be giving my bank the order to contest this charge and will probably have to change my bank account number which really makes me angry.
The thing that really bothers me is that I that I don't know for sure how they got my debit card number. Because of this even if I change my account, there is no way to insure that it won't happen again.
During my search of the Internet many websites have been metioned in the complaints I have read. Some of them include the website for Choice Hotels, classmates.com, 1800flowers.com, and of course the one that I had mentioned Columbiahouse.com. So if you visit any of these websites be on your guard and don't give any of them your credit/debit card number.
