Yesterday while shopping, my debit card was declined. The bank was still open so we went in to find out we had an "electronic check" pending for the amount of $99.49. We do not even use checks and pay our bills with our debit card so we knew this was not authorized. At the time, the bank did not know who the check was from, so they called us 1st thing this morning and it was from Premier. Last night after we found out, I was using google and came across this site to see others had been scammed for the same amount; so needless to say I was expecting the bank to say it was from Premier. I had received a suspicious call on 5/30 saying I had been approved for an auto loan which I had not applied for, so I told them I was not interested an hung up. Then I received the same call a few hours later. I told them I did not even drive so I wouldn't need an automobile. I am just curious if this is somehow related to that call. I am closing my bank account this afternoon and will be filing a complaint. This is pure and simple fraud, and how they have not been stopped yet is beyond me.
