The companies listed were all companies that showed up on my bank statement one day. I noticed it because I saw 4 charges all in exactly the same amount, $14.95, from 4 different companies located in Conn., USA. There were Master Money purchases made that I did not take part in. Meanwhile my debit card was still in my wallet!
I immediately went to the bank to file a 'Fraud Affidavit' with them to begin the process. This has never happened to me and I was extremely concerned. Thus far I was only 'taken' for approx. $60 but believe me this amount could have been a lot worse had I not looked at my bank statement when I did. I try to check it weekly but that doesn't always happen.
The bank is now trying to get my money back from these 'so called companies'. In the meantime I am notifying everyone I know to aid in preventing this from happening to others. In researching all of these companies I have noticed that they are well known "scammers". Additionally if you visit their web sites you will see that they are somewhat similar in that they require you to log-in before you can view their site. This includes giving them some personal information. One never has to log-in to go shopping!
NEVER let the bank re-issue you your debit card (with the same number!) when the first one they sent 'got lost in the mail'. This is why I believe I was scammed-because my debit card never came and I asked the bank to reissue it. Dumb! Someone else had my card! I learned of this mistake the hard way.
