I too had a fraudulent check pass through my checking account. Everything is the exact same as everyone else: the high number of check, the $29.95 charge made payable to BBU interservices; my address was incorrect but was in the same county as I live.
I also called the 866 number on the check and demanded a refund as well. "Cleo" asked for the transaction number, which I gave him. Then he asked for my checking account number: UH, Don't think so! I told him if they took my money from my account, then they should have that information! He then said I should receive the refund in about 7 to 10 days. Yeah, right! I will hold my breath!
Today, I had to take off work to go to my bank (which is not opened on weekends) then I was instructed to file a report at the Police station. Once I gave my banker the police report, she said the bank will try to get my money back first, but if they are unable, then they (the bank) would refund me the money.
I have been a nervous wreck all weekend since i discovered the fraudulent check. I have been monitoring my account continuously. I am wondering if anyone who has also had a fraudulent check had any other suspicious activity, or if it just stopped with the $29.95 charge.
I, as well as many others, pay my mortgage online with my checking account - to Cenlar. I called Cenlar tonight to ask if they have had any security breeches and the girl said she would file a report - to who? I don't know. She said that it was because of the security breech but she would never admit to them having a breech. I'd say if anyone else has been ripped off by BBU Interservices which have a mortgage with Cenlar - CALL CENLAR!!! Make it be known they that have screwed us over and put our finances at risk!!!
