I got online the other day to balance my checkbook. I found a charge for 139 dollars I did not make. I clicked on the transaction, and a copy of the check was shown. It was made out to InterBill Ltd.

There was a check number (659) which was not even close to the numbers on my checks. It said "Authorized by your cutomer No signature required." I did not authorize anyone to take anything out of my account.

There was a telephone number, 1-866-467-3536, which I called. I was told that I didn't respond to a letter that was mailed to me, within a 10 day period, so that gave them permission to take this money out of my account.

I was furious and still am. How did they get my account information?

I was watching the local news (WBOY) tonight and saw this scam mentioned. I couldn't believe it!! I guess I am not the only one they got!! I called the station to get more info and they referred me to msnbc. com. While I read that article, I saw your link, and decided I would let you know that I too am a victim.

I hope that you or the secret service or whoever else is involved, catches them. I feel so violated. I never believed that something like this would happen to me.

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/comptroller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck Let us know how you do!
