TicketWeb, Unauthorized Debit Card Withdrawals

On April 30, I purchased a ticket via TicketWeb. Today (October 12th), I noticed that $9 had been deducted from my bank account each month since I made that purchase, a total of five times in all, by a company called Entertainment Rewards.

I contacted Entertainment Rewards and the representative insisted that I had signed up for their coupons in exchange for a $25 cash back offer. No part of this claim was true. She then said she would cancel my "subscription" and was only authorized to refund one payment, or $9.

Because Entertainment Rewards made the unauthorized charges on my debit card, the bank was only liable to reverse charges made in the last 60 days — or for three of the five charges. Between Entertainment Rewards' "refund" and the bank crediting back my account, I have recovered all but one of the five $9 charges to my account.

I am filing this report because a little online research showed me that this company's fraud is widespread and pervasive. Many people have lost a great deal of money, and only received the company's $9 "refund." More commonly, however, individuals have caught the fraud after being taken for $18 to $27, and were content to just let it go at that.

Multiplied by thousands of individuals, this is a pretty lucrative fraud and seems to me to deserve some attention from law enforcement.
