I got online the other day to balance my checkbook. I found a charge for 139 dollars I did not make. I clicked on the transaction, and a copy of the check was shown. It was made out to InterBill Ltd.
There was a check number (659) which was not even close to the numbers on my checks. It said "Authorized by your cutomer No signature required." I did not authorize anyone to take anything out of my account.
There was a telephone number, 1-866-467-3536, which I called. I was told that I didn't respond to a letter that was mailed to me, within a 10 day period, so that gave them permission to take this money out of my account.
I was furious and still am. How did they get my account information?
I was watching the local news (WBOY) tonight and saw this scam mentioned. I couldn't believe it! I guess I am not the only one they got! I called the station to get more info and they referred me to msnbc.com. While I read that article, I saw your link, and decided I would let you know that I too am a victim.
I hope that you or the secret service or whoever else is involved, catches them. I feel so violated. I never believed that something like this would happen to me.
