AT&T Vesta Online Calling Card Scam Internet

4th of Feb, 2013 by User544721

I was just routinely checking my bank account charges to see if a "ping" from the Hampton Crowne Plaza was removed and I found a charge for $50.00 from AT&T PrePaid. The charge was still "pending" when I found it so I went to my bank (SunTrust) could stop the payment. They told me to call their online fraud department to report it. I asked when MY MONEY would be put BACK on my account? The customer service lady at the bank called AT&T and put me on the phone with some IDIOT from SE Asia or something...he was rude and acted like I was lying. I hung up on that ahole. Be aware that all someone has to do is distract you or take your card and scratch the top with a pencil...write down your full name or print a second receipt...and if they have the expiration and CVV number from the back of your card...they WILL spend your money. In my case, I was either scammed by an employee of Zaxby's...who has already been arrested or the Mexican lady at a restaurant that I frequent. About a week before the charge...I gave her my card for a carry out order and ran to restroom. I came back and signed and never thought a thing about it. Be careful and aware that just because you TRUST someone to cook your food...it doesn't mean they aren't ripping off their boss and YOU!!! I should have my money back on my account in about 10 days...if not, you'll see an additional report on SUNTRUST.
