I was balancing my checkbook on 10/20 and discovered a withdrawl for check 1 in the amount of $199. I immediately knew something was wrong. I had not written a check for $199 nor had I ordered anything nor do I shop off the internet.
I called my bank the next morning and they said it was an electronic payment. I had them fax me the supposed check and it was from Moonlight Marketing. I had never heard of this company nor had I at anytime spoke to them. Right then I knew I had been a victim of some kind of scam.
They used an old address, the address was incomplete, my name was spelled wrong and my middle intial left out, which I always use my middle initial. Somehow they obtained the right bank account though. Companies should not be able to get away with this and I don't pay taxes to have people doing nothing when there is all this info floating around about Moonlight Marketing scamming people. They are CROOKS.
The same morning I went to my credit union to fill out an affidavit of fraud because they said they can not do anything because it came over as an electronic draft. I took the info regarding Moonlight Marketing to my bank and they still did not move a muscle to act. I ALSO filed a police report and it is now being handled by a dectective.
My credit union said they have 30 days to respond and most likely will put the money bank. However at this time my credit will not refund or reverse the charges. I was advised to not but items from the internet. I do not shop from the internet and am perplexed at how they received my information. I believe the banks/credit unions should not let anyone's money be taken out from a company that has no return address or working phone numbers.
When I filed my police report I took copies of all the info that report.com and gave to detectives. I hope that we will all get our money back and this company will pay dearly. This is all happening to me a week before my wedding and I think they should have to pay mental anguish and pain and suffering.
Now I am pursuing the district director of my credit union to see that this is handled to my satisfaction. Good luck to all that pursue.
