877-213-7808

does anyone have a loan with Mazda or Chase Bank??????????

Yes I was hacked as well for 29.95. Called the World Systems number and spoke to Billing Solutions Limited, a call center. I Googled them but could not find any company matching their phone number. Strange, but not unheard of. The IP address I received from Billing Solutions is 209.99.204.80. I should receive a refund and no more charges can be generated from this IP address. SUCKS!

Same thing - noticed the charge to my bank account because the "check number" was not in sequence to our checks, and also didn't recognize the amount of $29.95.  Called the number and was told I was speaking to "Billing Solutions" who simply manages the transactions and is not responsible for the charges. Apparently the payee (to whom I had supposedly authorized this payment) is an Adult Website Subscription service.  When I asked if I needed to take up the issue with my bank, he said they could refund the money by marking the transaction as denied.  Extremely fishy.

Yesterday, I noticed a $29.95 "check" cashed by World System.  When I opened up the image of the "check," it was an e-check.  The odd thing is that it had my old credit union's name at the top (SSA Baltimore FCU), which they haven't used in years.  My bank routing number and checking account number were listed as well as my husband's name.  My husband doesn't even know how to use an ATM card, so I immediately knew something was wrong.

I called the 877-213-7808 number and a woman answered.  I told her that there was a $29.95 echeck cashed by World System that was not authorized.  She then told me it was purchased at 10:00 pm on 3/19/13 and then gave me the computer IP address and the email of the person who made the purchase.  When I expressed my concern about them having my checking account number, she told me I should call my bank and I would probably have to set up a new checking account.  She then told me the $29.95 would be credited back to my account in several days!  (This seems somewhat different than what other people were told when they called the 877-213-7808 number).  I then called my credit union and they said I would have to close that checking account and open a new one.

I then looked up the IP address the woman had given me.  The weird thing is, I believe it is the IP address of my work computer.  It gave the employer's name and city and it was my employer!!  I then tried sending an email to the address she gave me, which was at cox.net, and of course, it came back as invalid!

I have been trying to think as to what we have in common that these scumbugs were able to obtain our bank routing and check account numbers.  I do have accounts with Paypal, Verizon, DirectTV, HSBC and many other accounts that I pay on-line.  Also, on Tuesday of this week, I had forgotten to pay my husband's truck registration so I went on-line to renew it and I did use an e-check instead of a charge card.  I immediately thought that was it!  I even sent an email to the Maryland MVA (a state website, which I assumed was secure) and told them that I thought their website may be hacked because I paid via e-check and then had this happen.  Just curious if anyone else has recently paid via echeck.  

Also, I am thinking it could be possible for them to have hacked into one of the major websites that automatically deducts our monthly payments directly from our checking account.  I have not filed a police report yet, and am wondering if its worth the trouble.  I can't see the police doing anything about this.  This is way bigger than just one county or state, I believe the Inspector General or some branch of the Federal government should be made aware, if they aren't already.

I woke up this morning and checked my account and same fee. It came threw as a check and it had a weird check number. I called my bank to find out what it was for and they gave me Works Systems. I then called them and they calmed my husband subscribed to an adult website at 12:30am on 3/19/13. This is impossible seeing as I was awake watching tv and he was sound asleep next to me. They said we would be refunded. Well my husband decided to call and question this as well and they said the billing goes threw 3 different billing companies. Very odd and a red flag they gave us the IP address and email which was some random hotmail account.
Now my question is this... I notice a lot of ppl saying this happened on there credit union account, well I too have a credit union account. Could this mean something?

Same problem here, illegally charged for $29.95 from World System with a old bank name from 5 years ago. I got a refund confirmation # from someone named Maria from Billing Solutions. She didnt have the information on what was purchased like several others received and was quick to say we will deny the payment & refund in 3-5 days but don't have the bank retract it because that's fraud. I doubt the refund is happening. I called my bank as soon as I hung up and filed a fraud report.

Only companies that have my checking information is paypal and my condo association. Haven't written a check in forever. I also suspect this could have been hacked if you had your tax refund deposited into your bank as I did thru Turbotax. Damn these hackers!

Same as everyone else.  Do not worry about calling the 877 number.  As suspected, this appears to further the scam.  They offer to refund the money and cancel the charge within 5-15 days however the confirmation number is fake (check yours, mine was almost sequential) and I was able to confirm with Comcast that the IP address they gave was a brand new IP address that has not even been activated.  The folks on the other end of the 877 number also provided me with a comcast.net email address (supposedly used by the individual committing the fraud) containing parts of my name and the missing numbers from my almost sequential confirmation number, which was confirmed fake by Comcast after almost an hour on the phone with them.  It has never been an email account with Comcast.  Stay away from the 877-213-7808 number or at least call them from a number other than your home phone and please deal directly with your bank.  If you haven't already realized it, the advice to no report it to your bank should send off some red flags.  Good luck.

As with everyone else noticed a $29.95 charge for World System.  My husband called the company while I simultaneously contacted bank because echeck had old name of bank from 25+ years ago, also had Memphis routing number instead of Chattanooga.  The only accurate information was my husband's name and account number. The "billing" department stated refund 30-45 days, stated charge was made by my husband who could not have made the charge because he was delivering a truckload of goods at the exact same time and verified with time stamps.  Although I have paypal, husband's name has never been associated with this account. Bank immediately advised and shutdown the account.  We have no credit cards, only checks paid and account number given are our local utility company and schools for lunches.  However, we do have comcast and paid our account online for the first time 3 weeks ago.  We used taxact but, we have for years and if they had hacked the info there they would have had correct routing number.  Really would like to find out where they are getting an account number and name and no additional information.

Pretty much the same story as everybody else here.  The only places that have my checking account number are my direct deposit payroll system at work, the bank I have my mortgage with, and Wells Fargo.  No idea how these guys got my account number.

Yes, I used TaxAct for the first time this year, but the DD was on a different account than the one hit, so I don't think that was the breach.

It could be Paypal.  My Paypal was breached in December and was used to purchase apps from an appstore in Vietnam.

Good!  I got paid for my trouble, then.  I did receive my refund from World System, then my bank reimbursed me.  I tried to get them to back the transaction back out, but they couldn't because it was a bank draft rather than a debit card transaction.  They told me I would have to go back to the company in question.  I'm not willing to communicate further with these thieves, so my bank said just take the money and close the account.  So I did.

Yes, I received my refund as well as a reimbursement from my bank.  They won't have a chance to do any more damage as I have closed the account they hacked.

Nope, no mortgage here.

No Sallie Mae here :-(

I did, in relatively short order too.

My husband just made a good point.....we all deal with the IRS.  Hmmmmmm.....

Same charge on my account as everyone else. Does anyone else think it might be a breach in the company who prints your checks? For many years we have had ours printed by the company that sends out fliers in the coupon mailer envelopes. I think their name is Artistic Direct.

same situation--my transaction was on 2-26-13.  I am now waiting for the fraud person from my credit union.  Only similar transactions I can see is either Pay Pal or American Life Income.

I just bought something from amazon and t his happened, 29.95 charge in bank account. hmmm.  but i used my credit card, not my checking account.  weird.
