I always check through my account to view transactions made at least three times a week. This particular day happened to be the day a total of three consecutive days. I remember telling my husband, "We are cutting it close this week, do not make any more transactions", the day before. Anyone should know it is difficult to make ends meet when you are on a temporary substitute teaching salary AND a college student. Upon viewing my transactions on June 21 I realized an unfamiliar transaction on my account. I obtained the 800 number from my bank transactions report and I called them. Only to be greeted by a automated system informing me of a website which was accessible. I entered the website in the URL and google popped up with an address guiding me to the consumer complaints regarding the TWX MAGAZINE GROUP. I immediately called my husband and inquired with him about it (knowing full well that he would not do anything like this after being warned not to make any further transactions on the account). My husband was oblivious to the situation until I informed him of actions that I had already taken to persue the origin of the transaction. He said what I did not want to hear, "That is identity theft". He further advised that I immediately get dressed to go to the bank to try to resolve the ordeal.
