Upon reviewing my bank account statement, I noticed a debit charge for $. 26 dated 11/20 for Adele Services in Melville, NY. I live in California, so to make a purchase in NY, I would need to purchase something online, or by some other means. Why would I debit something so small anyway? I really got to thinking. Then a Google search of this company name revealed it's not only me. It's a small amount, but when it's a symptom that there's something bad happening it's worth looking into.
When I called my bank to report the charge, I was transferred from the Claims department to the Fraud department. It sounds ugly.
I think I will play it safe and follow the lead of previous reporters and not only have all debit cards issued under this account cancelled and reissued, but I will also have this bank account cancelled as well. This company is just doing a trial run looking for working bank accounts, waiting for us all to have our holiday money in there before they hit us big. No thanks scrooges.
I will warn everyone I know to watch for these scammers preying on their account as well and hope you all will too.
Oh, and I wouldn't recommend anyone going to that website, unless you want to increase the likelyhood of some bot running on your computer. These folks seem pretty ruthless.
