Does anyone recognize this?

[Addisyn]

An update on those two charges I didn't recognize. They are definitely fraud. The bank has referred it to their fraud department and are currently investigating. Someone either used a physical card with my pin number or used it online with my pin number.

What makes this so obviously fraud to me is I don't even know my pin number since I have never used this card at an actual ATM machine. It was used only for online transactions and never required the use of the pin number.

Once I had scanned the card to send when documents were requested I shredded the card. This was so I didn't get it mixed up with the one I use to make purchases at stores and use at ATMs. That one is connected to my joint checking with my husband.

When the person I called just now told me it was fraud it shook me to the core. Damn that is so scarey! I should be hearing from the bank in a few days so should have the final story soon.

Yikes!

I don't want to scare you further, but just to be safe, you may want to get a credit report just to be sure someone hasn't opened new charge accounts in your name.

AnnualCreditReport.com is the official site to help consumers to obtain their free credit report. There is no charge to receive 1 credit report from the 3 major reporting agencies once per year. Please be sure you use the annual credit report site, and not one of the rip off websites that are out there.

Good luck! Let us know how things go.

Very good advice.

Also, I seem to remember there was a scam running about 6 months ago from a company doing something like this. If I remember the MO correctly, they would do realtively small debits to people's accounts to try and keep under the radar (probably figuring people wouldn't worry or care to much to try and track down the items since the dollar value was small). They way they made it worth their while was to ding LOTS of people for small amounts.

Addisyn - were these debits what you would consider small amounts of money?

Best,

They were along the same line as I would normally do. One was for $150.00 and the other for $200.00. I will pull those credit reports for sure thanks for the tip Mousey!

You can get a free credit report once a year, if you live in the USA. You can get a report from all 3 agencies.

I would suggest everyone that has had a Neteller problem get one ASAP, just to make sure you're not a victim of identity theft.
