I checked my bank account and noticed I was charged $79 on 10/27 and have another pending charge of $79 as of 10/30. I immediately called my bank and reported the unauthorized charges. One of the charges was from Publications Max which I have never heard of. The second was from Seattle Coffee Direct which I unfortunately signed up for around 7 months ago not realizing there was a monthly shipment and membership fee. I cancelled the Seattle Coffee account and had not heard from them again until now. I researched this issue and discovered that these two companies operate out of the same location. I was also surprised to find that other individuals have also had these "mystery" $79 unauthorized charges recently. I'm not sure how a business can get away with this. So far I have had to cancel my bank card and am in the process of figuring out how to be reimbursed the $158 that the companies took from my account without permission.
