WATCH out for Illegal "MB IMAGE WORLD" charges on your bank account!!

I am one that balances my checkbook to the penny each week. As I balanced my checkbook this morning, I noticed a funny electronic check posted to my account on Monday this week. I printed the almost totally unreadable check out, and racked my brain trying to remember where I was or what I did that cost $39.99. After really digging into the depths of my brain, I decided to call my bank for any further details of this transaction. They were NO HELP WHATSOEVER!! They referred me to a "Customer Solutions" phone number, and they referred me to a "Claims" phone number. The "Claims" department at my bank is only open Monday - Friday... so, my claim would have to wait. I decided to call the phone number listed on my electronic check that I printed, and give them the reference number for this transaction. Took me three times to finally get through. The lady on the phone was MORE helpful then my bank, and told me that this transaction was for a "Web Subscription". I know I didn't subscribe to anything web related (Hello.... money is tight right now), so she was more than willing to issue a dispute with the company, and told me that I should call my bank and file a claim. The claim would take 7 - 10 days to go through. After I got off the phone with her, I still questioned my memory... so I decided to do a little "Google Search" for this company MB IMAGE WORLD. Come to find out, this is a HUGE SCAM that has been happening to people all over, using all different banks. I wanted to post this here to ALERT you to this scam.

The details to watch for on your checking account are as follows:

The check amount can be anywhere from $25.95 - $39.99, and its made payable to PAYMENT SYSTEMS. Upon reading all the comments, this is a web based porn site.

The company they use for these electronic payments is: MB Image Word Customer Service, and the phone number listed is 1-866-878-7962.

WATCH FOR THIS!!

Here is a link to a discussion thread I found thru Google: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-866-878-7962 There is actually a few out there, but this one had the most information.
