Complaint Review: Spokeo

Spokeo Spokeo is making reoccuring fraudelant debit card transations on my bank account Pasadena, CA Nationwide

Spokeo is making daily reoccuring fraudulent debit card transactions on my bank account.  Fortunately my bank recognized it as supecious and put a hold on my account.

I did login to the Spokeo site, but I never signed up for any ongoing service.  Evidently a subscription is automatically setup with reoccuring debit card transactions.  I tried to delete my account but could not.  How to info wasn't accurate and didn't match what I saw on the site.

I canceled my debit card and got a new one, but the fraudulent debits kept occuring daily.  Evidently they can call Visa and get my new number according to the bank. 

I emailed my complaint to Spokeo customer service, and they replied asking for my card info, which I refused to give them.  I then tried to call customer service but that was a very strange experience,  They couldn't find any record of either my name or email address.  Spokeo said I should call the bank and have a 3 way conversation to try and resolve this.  this is just a runaround.  Customer service hung up on me.

I filed a complaint with the FTC and will look into filing a police or FBI complaint.
