It's good that you posted that number, there are still more people accessing Rip-off.com to find out about WLI. You mentioned that your daughter must have clicked on something by accident. You don't have to click on anything. This merchant has an agreement with the owner of the site, to recieve your personal banking information. This means if you have purchased something from Fandango, and they automatically transfer your information, while you shop and purchase. This happens with sites that have loose privacy policy. They claim they are customizing your shopping experience, when in reality they sell your personal banking information for a profit. It's just another form of electronic spam harvesting. The best way to avoid this, and I know it's a headache, but to reveiw the Privacy Policy of sites you shop at, and know the owner of the site. This way when you have a problem, you can take care of it quick.
