Charged an unauthorized fee to my bank account

In my bank statement I noticed an unauthorized fee of $19.95 charged to my checking account. Backgroundfee.com 'claims' to provide a service of looking up driving records, vehicle history's, public records, arrest or criminal records.

When I called the number provided in my bank statement, the number was listed as inactive and I was redirected to a different company instead. This happened within 4 days (the 888 number not working) of my charge being posted to my account, I tried to reverse it (the fee) while it was still 'pending and the bank told me I had to wait till it was posted to my account before I could dispute it. I have done this with the bank and are awaiting for the fee to be reversed.

The attorney General in my state has also been contacted and they are investigating my complaint as well. The AG said that they have received numerous complaints against backgroundfee.com.

On backgroundfee.com's website, at the bottom when you click on 'contact us' it just loops you back to the website and refers you to 'live customer service number' it does not give you a snail mail address or any other phone numbers. All the posted customer feedbacks are listed as dec 26 and 27 2 days after my account was charged the fee and then on the 28th the number was inactive.
