Complaint Review: MWI Connections

I found an amount of $149.95 taken out of my checking account, which posted on 08/08/03. I knew I did not spend that much on anything lately. I do not buy anything over the phone nor do I buy anything online.

I called my bank and they said the charge belonged to MWI Connections and it was made with my debit information. I went online and found this site which told more about them and gave me their phone number.

I called MWI and was asked my name and phone number. They told me that someone had authorized this when they authorized something for Graduate connections. I have never heard of MWI Connections nor have I ever heard of Graduate connections. Myrna (#4699) told me that they would take the $149.95 off my account but it would take 5 days.

I told Myrna that because of this charge I am now having to pay late fees to my bank. She said I would have to fax(402-661-2189)my bank statement to them which would have to include my name, address, phone, and zip. It would take 7 business days to review my statement and for them to make a decision. She then gave me a refund number and confirmation number.

What I don't understand is how this company got my debit card information. I have my debit card with me and I have not given it out over the mail, phone, nor internet. This company has to be doing something dirty to get a hold of my number.

I will let you know if they actually give me money and my late fee money.
