BBU Interservices $29.95 unauthorized electronic transfer taken from my checking account Silver Springs, Nevada

30th of Jan, 2011 by

My bank (located in Pennsylvania) also approved a $29.95 electronic transfer out of my checking account, payable to: BBU Interservices, on 1/27/11. My name on the check and my checking acct. number were correct but my address was bogus. I called the phone number on the check and it was 'disconnected'. I reported this to my bank and they are sending me a fraud claim to fill out. I told the bank that there are a slew of reports across the country re: this activity. The Loss and Prevention Dept. has been alerted. I was told that banks don't require any more than the checking acct. number and name when doing electronic debits of "a minimal amount" because there are thousands that go through everyday. They "count on" the customer to alert them of possible fraudulent activity, unless its a "substantial transfer or debit amount". Obviously this scam group is well aware of this practice, skimming a 'minimal amount' of $29.95 from people all over the country. Meanwhile, the customer has to take on the nightmare of freezing their account, changing their account, alerting all companies they do business with, have credit cards with, wrote a check to, etc. with the knowledge that this can happen again and again, anytime they write a check.
