Today my local bank called me as a courtesy to advise that a charge of $99.49 went thrugh my account; that it was odd and that at their local level they could not see where it came from. They further advised that I call the national service line for my bank to investigate further. I did, the CR let me know that a company named "Premier Membership Club" had my routing and account number and were daily atttempting to essentially cash a check against my account for $99.49 on April 30 and today, May 2. My bank gave me a number to try and reach them at: 818.380.5710... I called that number and a woman with a European accent answered said she needed to put me on hold she was with another customer... The whole while I could actually hear her trying to advise another victim... It's definitely a scam. Once she came back on the line I asked her where this company was located and she said in San Francisco. I told her that I knew that the 818 area code was from Los Angeles County (I'm from L. A) so that was a lie, she said I was wrong! And began trying to speak from a script about my membership? SCAM SCAM SCAM my problem is I genuinely do not know how they comprimised my checking account. As of today I am working with my bank. (Luckily for me its a bank with few branches and thus I have an actual relationship with them - hense the headsup call they made to me this morning)
