The CU reversed all charges (including the bounced check fees).  I sent them a link to this thread in case they had any doubts, but it was pretty obvious that the e-check was bogus.

The same thing happened to me this week. I called the number and they said they would put the money back.

Not so sure about the paypal account....I had this company try to go through one bank and when they failed they when through another.

I have looked are below are the companies that I have either paid online through both accounts or have ordered from out of both accounts.  

WalMart
Aspire
Capital One
Washington Mutual
Total Image International
Itunes
Dell
Cingular (ATT)

Does anyone else have these in common?

Have you ever done business with an outfit
named offshorerx.com?

No paypal account here.  Like many others on this board I have a connection to Bank of America, but it is through a credit card.  Thinking back on it, I may have paid my bill once online with my checking account, but not certain.

If this all correct and all of us are with different banks in different parts of the country and not all on paypal then lets assume this.

1. They get the Bank name and routing number
2. They try different account numbers and names
3. They make charges with bogus front companies apperntly all Adult web sights.
4. Someone Mentioned they are in Cyprus or the Middle East.

5. Lets assume this...

6. Can be hackers/terrorists and or Al-Queda looking for ways to get funding by screwing us all. Who ever it is is making tons of cash real quick...
7. Can be true hackers making programs to charge accounts and get funds
8. Can be the CIA doing covert operations to hack our accounts for private funds.

I cannot believe someone just gets your account number and bank even if you don't use it online.

There has to be a central repository that can access all these account numbers.


Dont feel bad I got screwed for 34.99 from Adultplanet and yes I called them got through and was told in 2 to 4 days my money will be back at the same number 1-800-397-5761...


I think I am gonna take them out permanently........

You'll find the same sort of cookies if you search through Internet Explorer temporary internet files too. It's the same for all web browsers. It's just that some are harder to find than others.

If you go into the Firefox preferences/options you can set it to delete all personal data when closing the program. You can identify which bit of information you want it to remove ie cookies, browsing history, completed forms etc etc. You can do this by the following method:
Select Tools then Options (tools in the menu bar)
click on the Privacy tab.
click on Always clear my private data when I close Firefox.
Click Settings to choose which data you want to have deleted when you exit Firefox.
Click OK.

and you're done.

Also Firefox users might want to check out some of the extra security extentions available. A good one being NoScript (blocks all scripts from running without permission)

Firefox on it's own wont be the cause of this problem.
