payday loan protection easycashnetwork internat fraud, Internet
About four months agoItried to raise my credit score to purchase a home. I openedtwo pre-paid credit cards to do so. After about a weeka few companies withdrawing 89.00$, unauthorized. I had mydebit card closed and even shut my internet and landline off. On 1-21-2011I had the internet turned back on since we hada few months without scams. On 1-21-2011 I had a fraudulent check sent to my bank for $30.00 from payday loan protection. I have never heard of this company and I don't have any payday loans. I researched this company to find a very cheep website that explained they would pay up to $79.00 on payday loans if someonehappened to get sick or die.
I have called the 866 number provided on the check everyday, ofcorce no answer. Ihadn't even looked at any sites concerning money, credit, NOTHING with my account. The last time this happened with a different company a guy called my landline and stated I had won $7000.00,he asked if he could continue explaining the prize and I saidsure. He stated he would be mailing out my $7000.00 and verified my mailing address. that day $89.00 was taken out of my checking account. they did that 3 times with in the month. That was whenI shut my landline and internet off along with my debit card. I find it odd that I had it backon 1 day and it happened again. This company is obviouslycommittinginternet fraud. I absolutely never spoke with anyone. My bank saidthey will refund this and take legal action against this company.

NEVER give you bank account info to ANYONE!!

I cannot understand why people will just give up their bank account information to people they do not know. That is just plain stupid.
The ONLY way these scammers could prepare that "check" against your checking account is if they had BOTH your routing# and your account#, as well as the full name on the account.
The ONLY way they could have gotten this information, is is YOU gave it to them. Regardless if you were aware of it, YOU did give it to them.
NEVER use your checking account for online or over the phone purchases. This includes debit card use as well.
NEVER authorize anyone to do automatic withdrawals from your checking account.
Somewhere along the line YOU put your checking account information into an online form, or gave it to someone over the phone, and when you did this, you opened yourself up to fraud.
NEVER give anyone your bank account info!!! NEVER.
Just use some common sense!
