I was going over my bank account as I do EVERY week since my last scam. I found a charge for $4.93 from a company I have never heard of. I also made no purchases, credit, debit or otherwise on the date of this transaction. I have no idea who these people are or why they think they have a right to my money. THEY DON"T!!!
I have seen several scam reports for this company. When I called the number listed by my bank, I got an out of service message. This was my first indication of a fraud. The number has a 352 area code, which is in north Florida.
I immediately contacted my credit union and reported the fraud. They are willing to refund my money and start their own investigation. I am also contacting the states attorneys for Florida, the state the company is in and Oregon, where I and my credit union are located.
I know it is only a few dollars, but if they do this to say 100,000 people, that's half a million dollars they get for free. This is why the scammers make such small ACH withdrawals.
We MUST NOT allow them to get away with it.
