Allright here's the deal...
This morning I go to check the balance on my checking account (online), and see that a $985.95 check card purchase was made yesterday.
After i picked my jaw up off the floor and called the bank, I found out it was an online purchase made to some online company called "Bare Essentials."
OK so cards are cancelled, the bank voided the transaction, my checking account is suspended at this time, so I didn't loose any money over this.
Here's where it gets weird. I called the company, to try to get a delivery address to see where this stuff was going to file the appropriate police report. Apparently, all this stuff was getting shipped to my house. A bunch of $65.00 Dolce & Gabbana T-shirts, pajamas, and panty hose.
So where is the scam in this? Do UPS guys steal credit card info and have the stuff shipped to the correct address but never deliver it?
Anyone ever hear of anything like this going on recently?
