On February 22, I was contacted by a woman (presumably in or near India, by her accent) promising that the US Government would deposit $12,500 in my bank account. I had a hard time understanding her, but she stressed several times that it need not be payed back, and it would give me $12,500.
Being a poor, stupid, college stupid, I gave them my account number. I did not authorize them to debit my account (to the best of my knowledge, as I could barely understand her), but I had $59.95 stolen from my account, via an eCheck (processed through myecheck.com).
I also racked up $10 in overdraft fees because of this (REALLY poor college student), so my total loss comes to about $70.
On the check printout, the following phone numbers are listed.
877-851-4375
702-835-8013
I attempted to look them up on www.reversephonelookup.com, but only found out that they're registered in Las Vegas, and no information can be found.
