What a surprise I got this morning at my Bank! My checking account is only used for my Trust Officer at my bank to direct deposit my weekly allottment, and for nothing else. I show up every Tuesday and stand at the counter to write a check for the same amount.
This morning there was $139.00 missing from my checking account. I had the bank print out the transaction that caused the negative amount. It looks like a typed out check, but does not have my signature on it. My name and my OLD address is on the top, and my Bank name also. My checking account number is on the bottom below the bogus check. I moved out of my house into an apartment one year ago, and I don't even have any checks with my old address on it anymore. I have been trying to find out what happened.
My husband called the company number listed on the copy I got, and they say that they are going to send me a check for $139.00 plus the bank fee of $6.00 within a week. If it does not arrive, I will continue to do whatever is legally possible to get these thiefs prosecuted! Meanwhile I have changed my account number. How do these thieves get our account numbers?
