I had an unauthorized electronic payment from bank account showing this phone number

Same thing happened to me. The funds were returned to my account and was told I should call the number on the check to investigate myself. Called the number on the check. On hold, and then call dropped, hope that wasn't the wrong thing to do.

I had the same thing happen with my bank account.  Through the information act - I’m now getting the address from where the “Rare Things” check came from.  They’d best get tied on up in there!!!

i did too

suspected scam

"only rare things inc" on the check. And it was typed out without my signature. My bank called and got an answer. They said it was a subscription online service and I would have to call and cancel it. I called and same thing as above, waiting a long time with no one answering and call dropped. We are filing a dispute

Same here. Exactly the same symptoms

I also had the same thing happen to me.  I have been investigating this as well.

my parents also just had a fake check paid to "only rare things llc". They have been advised to close the account.. is that what you are doing as well? appreciate any info or ideas - thanks!

Same exact thing happened to us

unauthorized check on acct. I closed my account per bank advice.

I had this charge of $33.68 to my checking account.  This is the phone number on the top of the check.    The back of the check shows a deposit to a JP Morgan Chase Bank acct.  You would think the bank could track this down.  The bank recommended I close my account since it has been compromised.

follow on:  Can you all tell me the city and state where you (the compromised check holder) live or would have written a check for?  I ask because it is obvious they got a copy of one of my checks and created a false one, I know this because the address was incorrect.  Of course, I do write checks to credit card agencies, including JP Morgan Chase Bank, which was on the back of the fake check.  So, maybe someone who works there, or an employee of a common business is doing this.  I am from Hartselle, Alabama.

This number was on an unauthorized check from a company called "Only Rare Things Inc"  When I reached the operator she told me it was for a monthly subscription for something.  I gave her the reference number on the check and she verified that it was from the other person on the joint checking account.  I asked the operator to please cease and desist any further transactions.  She then told me that it would take "3-7 business days" But having spoken with bank before making this call, I eventually decided to close the account.

A bogus check for $32.32, payable to "Only Rare Things, Inc.", was posted to my BoA checking account on July 9.  I called the 877-272-9221 number on the check and was able, supposedly by "Billing Solutions" who's handling "Only Rare Thing's" accounts, to get my bogus "subscription" cancelled and the check negated.  Then I contacted BoA and had to establish a new account - and get my incoming and outgoing cash flows to each of a-half-dozen accounts changed.   I kid you not...it took ten hours of telephone calls.  What a [***]!

How did "Only Rare Things" get my bank transit and checking account numbers?  I only write a dozen or so checks a year.  Can I sue the [***]???  I'd like to get my pound of flesh back and I'd be happy.  As far as the bank goes, and several return calls, having to wait a half-hour to just get connected to the right or "Fraud Dept." and then talking to a lucid person, they're telling me nothing.

Same thing happened to us.  Calling the bank now!

.. follow on - we closed our account & opened a new one.  JP Morgan Chase bank on the back of our electronic check also.  Amount was $28.12.

I had this happen to me this weekend.  Called # 877-272-9221 which showed on the check,  & Elaine advised, they process payments as a Billing Solutions Co., for a lot of different places & would refund the $28.12 charge back to my bank account.  I called my Bank & they suggested closing out the account since "whoever" has my bank information and could charge this again thru another entry.   Unreal!

Your routing number and checking account number are printed on your checks. It is very easy for anyone to take that info and create a fraudulent check. Banks ned to be diligent about who is cashing/depositing checks.

Check was generated that looked very much like my bill pay checks. Someone obviously was processing a bill pay check and duplicated it for a payment to Only Rare Things for $33.68, an amount presumably small enough to fly under the radar for people who do not balance their accounts regularly. I called the number and reached Genevieve from Billing Solutions who said it was for a subscription and would process a refund for me within 7-10 days. Not sure that will actually happen.
