to all: ive been dealing with this all week and thought i should put it out there on FB in the hopes that i can save someone some grief and stress. Sunday morning, i went online to check my bank balance, thinking that i had in excess of $40 in my account...i had $3 and change. ??? so, naturally, i looked at my detail. there was a charge for $39.84 that was pending. of course, any bank nowadays will tell you that you must wait for the charge to post before they can do anything to dispute it. i called customer service and even though it was pending, they gave me the toll-free number to call to question the merchant. (844) {huh?} 464-0915. so...i called them...it was a customer service company called Maysilles LImited. i have never heard of them. so...i gave them the info they needed to find out about this mysterious charge. i was told that they had no record of this charge, therefore nothing to refund me. also, they flat out told me to call my bank to dispute it. moreover, the rep i spoke to said that he had been dealing with this exact issue all day and had no idea where the charge came from or who was giving out their number to question the charge. i was also told that none of the businesses they do customer service for bill in that amount. major red flags blowin around everywhere!! so..ive called my bank and have started the dispute process. point of the story: EVERYONE check your bank balances/details for this exact charge and investigate it!!! i THINK i got phished...how i will never know. we do a fair amount of business online, so.... i have had to block my debit card and have another issued and am using a temporary. undaunted in my search for the truth, i went to Bing and searched for Maysilles Limited. They are indeed a customer service provider for multiple other companies...IN LONDON! ??? so...curiosity got the better of me again, so i dug deeper. their current director is Alok something-in-Greek. country of birth: Greece country of residence: Cyprus. this is very obviously fraud and i urge everyone reading this to stay vigilant in monitoring your bank accounts, ESPECIALLY if you use your debit card online. i do not carry a lot of cash on a regular basis for security reasons, so i use my card...a LOT. again, take a little extra time to scrutinize your accounts...you might be surprised what youll find. thank you for listening and have a great day! Muncie :)
