A small, random charge was discovered against my checking account in the form of a Debit purchase. Since the charge amount and description looked unfamiliar, I looked into this more. Looking up the company, there are a few reports on Usa Consumer Complaints.com on them over the past 2 weeks with similar stories; a common theme (though not exclusive) is the folks who have seen charges from this website have also used an AT&T pay kiosk (a station setup in Authorized AT&T stores to make payments. (Mine was in Cary, NC - I saw there was another report near Charlotte, the others were other states).
One of the usacomplaints.com complaints on KniPatt.com links to a Facebook thread sharing similar stories - https://www.facebook.com/WEWS5/posts/10151296992284922? Comment_id=27622881¬if_t=comment_mention
These small charges are usually methods to test the waters for bigger thefts. I've reported this to my bank who cancelled my debit card before a bigger charge goes through. Additionally I've called into AT&T Customer Service team and asked to speak to a manager to let them know they MAY be victims of a trojan horse/worm.
I would recommend if anyone else finds this thread and it fits your situation; besides calling your bank... Please spend the 10-15 minutes it will take you to sit on hold for an AT&T manager and report this.
