Rachel, Did they actually draw money out of your account? If so, that is actually several crimes they have committed and I would talk to my bank about it ASAP and close that account! Or did they SAY they had your approval to draw from your account and use that as a ploy to GET your account information? I would NEVER give someone on the phone that information. In fact, if a telemarketer says that they are authorized to do a transaction and then they want your information that is a dead giveaway that they are committing FRAUD. Another red flag should be the Champlain, New York P.O. box! Scammers in Montral use this border town as a 'mail drop' location as it is just a short drive down Autoroute 15 for them.
