I recommend contacting the company again and asking them for a written copy of the policy that outlines potential charges. Best of luck.

I like your website and I am impressed by what you do. I understood what you wrote about the "private" accounts hackers used to deposit money to their accounts using random account numbers which is what I suspect with my phone service. I had 5 long distance phone number listed in my bill and did not recognize it. So, I called my phone company, each was for 1 minute charged. Perhaps four out of 20 were for 2 to 8 minutes total. The phone company said I get charged long distance if I answer a long distance call even if it is not a 800 number. Is that possible? I have never heard of that. I only know that the person "calling" is supposed to pay for the call. Right? Let me know what the facts are. Thankfully yours, Melina Hi! I like your website and I am impressed by what you do.

They should be able to determine the source of the charge, and if not they can block the company from making further charges, and they might be able to do a charge back from the company's bank to get the money back to you. The sooner you contact your bank and file the complaint, the better. Best of luck to you.

All that was on my statement was a phone number which has led to an answering machine. I don't ever remember dealing with this company. I'm very conscious about any identity scams and this one doesn't sound like a legit company. Any suggestions? I recently had a withdrawal on my bank account from SSM Group, LLC.

I still check it fairly often, but normally I just do a quick scan, then I upload everything into Quicken, usually twice a month. I noticed the first instance awhile back, but I wanted to talk to my wife about it, and hopefully figure out what it was on my own. Thankfully, it was a false alarm! Hi Vause,
