Billing Solutions Prime Status, LLC Withdrew $31.21 from my bank account using a fake check None Aukland
Yesterday, I received a notice from my bank that check number 8251750 had been paid from my bank account on 2/14/2018. The first name that this fraudster had used to sign the check is a name I NEVER use, since it is not my real first name. The signature was an electronic signature. Fortunately my bank noticed that something with this check was not right and the money was returned to my account on 2/15/2019.
The company that the check was made payable to was Prime Status, LLC. I have done an extensive web search for this company was was not able to find it. Because of this, I called the customer service number that was on the check which is 844-202-7754. I spoke to a person named Kim who told me that the money would be returned to my account and that my information would be permanently deleted from their system. To anyone who might believe this type of statement, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you really cheap.
While I had Kim on the phone I informed her that I had done a search for the phone number on the check and that it belonged to a totally different company located in Wachingon D.C. and that it was NOT Business Solutions. While I had her on the phone, I did some additional research and asked her several questions regarding the company she worked for. Her responses were vague and she said she had no information (not even a phone number) for her alleged employer in New Zealand. When I told her I found a business with that name in Aukland, but at a different address, her response was that that must have been another main office. I always thought that there was only one main company office and that other offices were satellites.
I also looked up the address 21 Queen Street, Aukland, New Zealand. The address is real, but it is to a building operated by Regus. This is a company that leases desk space and/or offices to businesses. I have serious doubts that these people are really located in New Zealand and are probable operating from the U.S., but this would be very difficult to please.
The reason these people only withdraw small amounts is that they know law enforcement will consider it a matter between you and the person who took the money out of your account. While it is, as mentioned by other victimes, a federal crime to take money out of another's account without authorization, it is unlikely that law enforcement will go after a company that is located outside of the country for small withdrawals.
Make sure you verify all dollar amounts withdrawn from your bank account, no matter how small, if you do not recognize the dollar amount. I was fortunate because my bank caught the bogus check and returned the funds to my account. Others may not be so lucky.
