WTS 800-717-7476 E-Ticket PPD ID: MB EPX WTS is an unknown company that has accessed my checking account without my conset and been withrdrawing $26.95 monthly since 01/2011 with smaller, erratic withrawals ranging from $0.05 cents to $0.18 Internet
An Internet company that I had never heard of until recently has accessed my personal checking account without my knowledge or permission and has been withdrawing $26.95 monthly since January, 2011. They also sporadically withdraw five to eighteen cents, though I haven't found any reason or pattern to the smaller ones.
The company is listed on my bank statements as "WTS 800-717-7476 E-Ticket PPD: ID MB EPX." This means nothing to me and each time I have tried to contact said company I receive a recorded message stating that it is after hours and directing me to a false web site.
Because I pay most of my bills on-line and less than $30.00 did not immediately wave a red flag it took me four months to begin taking action against this fraudulent company. I am currently on medical disability and barely scrape by with my monthly state disability checks so a total of roughly $108.15 effects my ability to afford basic medical treatments. I have informed my bank once of these mystery withdrawals yet a new one recently appeared. Today is a bank holiday but tomorrow I plan on once again demanding a stop to these transactions.

I had something similar happen years ago when my phone company sold my account to an unknown company that began billing me for text messaging. Something I have never used. I was unable to get a hold of the company and found it was an overseas operation. What I did was close the account and opened a new one. That slammed the door on them. I would recommend changing banks as well. just to be certain the new account isn't attached to the old one.
A word to the wise, don't supply your bank account numbers to anyone on line. Credit/debit card numbers are bad enough. And really watch out for free offers which are seldom free.

It's possible...

It's a possibility that since you pay bills online and most likely givin out your bank info eg: rounting numbers and acct numbers, that it's gotten out thru a hole in your security system or by any other means. If you have auto password or anything that auto fills in info on any form including places you pay your bills, then any hacker can gain access to that. There's always security issues with Windows and updates are almost always applied but sometimes after the fact.
Another possible thing is...if you ordered anything on a trial basis and didnt look at the small print or uncheck any box checked then it might be there. It happened to my mom. She ordered something where she only had to pay 1.40 something. Next thing she knew she was getting 24.95 taken from her acct. I called them and they said that she ordered it, I looked and saw what happened. Luckily the company refunded her money after I explained that she didnt realize it
and she's on a fixed income.
You need to contact your bank and have them put a stop on that company deducting anymore from your acct. Then the bank will (or should)send the company a letter asking for a refund of all monies paid. This way you wont have anymore taken out.
The odd amts deducted may be their way of checking to be sure your accts still active. If they are a fraudlant company and they know what they are doign is wrong, they check to see if its open because they have gotten over 100.00 illegally from an acct with no one stopping them. They will continue until you put a stop to them.
Good luck
