Complaint 57122 Details

THIS COMPANY CALLED MY FATHER IN FLORIDA AND GOT HIM TO GIVE OUT HIS CHECKING ACCOUNT INFORMATION. ONCE THEY GOT IT THEY WITHDREW $73.71 FROM HIS ACCOUNT MONTHLY AT FIRST AND THEN BIWEEKLY AND THEN RANDOMLY AT LEAST 1X PER WEEK. THE BANK IN FLORIDA HAD SET UP AN OVERDRAFT ACCOUNT WITH A CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND EACH TIME THAT $73.71 WAS WITHDRAWN ON AN ACCOUNT THAT NEVER HAD THAT MUCH MONEY IN IT THERE WAS A DRAW ON THE CREDIT CARD FOR $100.00. MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT IT MUST BE FOR LAWN SERVICE AT FIRST. WHEN I WENT TO FLORIDA TO VISIT I SAW THE BANK STATEMENTS AND CALLED THE CORRESPONDING # ON THE WITHDRAWLS AND TOLD THEM TO STOP WITHDRAWING ANYTHING FROM HIS ACCOUNT. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS FOR 3 MAGAZINES AND A SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY. AFTER I RETURNED HOME THE CHARGES STARTED AGAIN WITH A LAPSE OF APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH. IN SEPTEMBER I WENT TO THE BANK IN NY AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY HELPED ME TO INVESTIGATE THE WITHDRAWLS--I CLOSED THE BANK ACCOUNT. THE BANK NEVER REPORTED THE FRAUD AND THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY WON'T TALK WITH ME. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANAGER OF THE BANK IN FLORIDA AND HE IS TRYING TO HELP ME INVESTIGATE AND REPORT THIS FRAUD.
