My bank account was used as an (obviously) unauthorized debit account by "FPRINT.BIZ 0 941-882-0942 FL US" to withdraw/steal $4.60 on 10/20/11. I got "your call cannot be completed as dialed..." response when I called that number. This dollar amount is not enough to really worry about but if I hadn't spotted it this month, the thieves would most likely make the same withdrawal again next month and/or the month after, as they did the first time this happened to
me. The amount is low enough ($4.60) that it might not be caught by simply reviewing balance estimates. I set up an alert on my account for withdrawal amounts of less than $5, which is how I caught the last two thefts, but it doesn't stop the thieves. This is the third time this account has been â€œhit,â€ by three different â€œcompanies,â€ even though I've changed my ATM/debit card number after each theft! I suspect the fraudulent entities are collecting debit card data from unsecured web
sites. Iâ€™ll be sure to check for the â€œsâ€ in https://webaddress, which means itâ€™s a secure site, before I order anything in the future. Fortunately, after I file a fraud claim with them, my bank credits my account for the stolen amount but if I don't catch it, the bank won't either. That's why I'm filing this report with Ripoff, so that the folks reading it will become more aware of the possibility of unauthorized withdrawals from their bank accounts. Be sure to report suspected fraudulent activity (thefts) to your bank.
