Someone has been tapping into my bank account!!!

Wow, that's pretty scary. I also check my balance online each week. Do the same with my credit card. If I see anything on there I don't recognize, I call immediately to get it on the record. Once I was charged twice for the same meal at a restaurant and 3 times by another. It took a while to get it straightened out.

Donna, I am sorry this happened to you and happy that your banker realized what is going on and reversed all of the charges for you.

It seems as though more and more companies are requesting to dip into your checking account to pay a monthly bill - such as the phone or other utility.

They claim it is "so easy" for you - no stamps - no paper work - yeah right!

And what about those times when you have "no money" and want to delay that payment just a few days?

I don't trust them - any of them - and will not allow anyone to debit my account for anything - unless it is my own choice when I purchase something.

But, I also, go online regularly to check on my account.

There are those that while we are sleeping - are up all night figuring out new ways to scam us

Wow, it's scary to know just how easy that can happen. Thanks for the heads up Donna. Glad you got it straightened out.

I check our account daily.
We have several bills (couple major ones) that come out automatically but we set them up that way.
