on september 17, 2009 @ 5AM i was checking my activity for my checking/debit account online. i was extremely disturbed to find an unauthorized pending transaction in the amount of $79.95 listed in my account activity. a phone number was attached to the transaction, which was 1-866-878-1512. so i called to inquire as to what the charge was for and to get the account information. a recording identified the contact as for, june sleepwell or june pureclense. as if this number was for the the above mentioned people. i left a brief message and i have not received a return call.
a few minutes later i decided to try the Internet to identify the company and maybe get an explanation. i immediately found links to a fraudulent charge alert posted about a company with the same name and for charges in the same amount that my account had been ripped off for.
i immediately contacted my financial institution, unfortunately it was before business hours, so i will do so later today.
i'm not surprised to see the scam, but i've never had this unfortunate experience before.
please offer any information as to prevent these types of fraudulent charges in the future.
thank you for your consumer watch.
