Our account is much the same as others I have read here. While balancing our checkbook, my wife noticed a withdrawal (dated 10/24) for one cent, paid to "CC Global, " with an address in Cottondale (near Tuscaloosa), AL. On November 7, there was another withdrawal for $29.95. Neither she nor I had done any business with such a company or address. I called the telephone number listed; it had been disconnected. The next day, we contacted our bank and were told that our checking account had been hacked, and that CC Global was probably intending to make a large withdrawal. We had to close the account, open a new one, and get new ATM cards. All of this will cause us considerable inconvenience, because our paychecks are direct-deposited and a number of payments are automatically deducted from our checking account.
