Looks like they got me too. I called and spoke with John haha. I ask where they were located and he said he couldnt tell me it was confidential ! Well isnt that funny the address appeared on the check as did the number I called.  Then he said the main company was out of the country, but couldnt give me a name or number to call to verify. They are just the middle man.......
Mine was also for some subsciption that I know nothing about. My bank is also checking on this and I will be making all the necessary reports .

Dont call them when you give that information to them you are telling them they made a valid hit, close bank account immediately...same thing happened to me today and I have Wachovia too and live in Columbia NC.
That is three wachovias now

Happened to me today as well...same thing as everyone else, a bank "check" cleared my account for $29.95.  I live in Massachusetts, closing my account ASAP, my bank is HSBC.  I have researched and found numerous sites with the same issue, many people were using Cenlar Mortgage Co (formerly TBW).

Same here. Viewed the cleared check via my online bank statement, My name but wrong address. It was electronically signed for $29.95.

Add another one to Wachovia, four total. Made a mistake and called them. Closed down my account. File the FBI report people. Wasted whole morning. Pretty pissed off!

I am a Safe Credit Union member and I found the exact same $29.95 check that everyone has described here taken out of my account. The date on the check was 1/17/2011. It cleared Bank of America on 1/18/2011 & was taken out of my Safe Credit Union account.The check used my daughters name and a fake address. I was wondering where I ever used an electronic check and who possibly could have had my daughters name when I read a post asking what do we all have in common and "does anyone have Anthem Blue Cross or a Bank of America account"? As a matter of fact I used to have a Bank of America account, but I also had an Anthem Blue Cross account in my daughters name and I used to pay by giving my routing number and account number. I have had to dispute the charge at my bank, close my account, and file a police report with Sacramento County.  I am furious and cannot understand how they are getting away with this! Also tried calling the 800 number on the check and was told they were a mortuary company!

Hmmm, here's another surprise:  Aaron Shoaf that owns Data Business Services also owns a Payday Check Advance Company

Here's the State of Nevada Business Search info on "DBA"

This guy owns/has his hand in about 50 different Neveada businesses-CORRECTION, he is an officer in over 500 Nevada Companies.  Not just the registered agent for service (that's his other company Silver Shield)  Wonder why?  Do your own search is Nevada State Business Portal.

Website has no info at all.  Do not call htese people, they will not refund your money-IT IS A SCAM.  THAT IS WHY THEY WON'T GIVE YOU ANY INFO ON WHO THEY ARE.

BBU AND DBA AND THE READY CASH PAY LOAN ARE ALL ONE AND THE SAME!!!

DO NOT GIVE THEM TX NUMBER, THEY HOPE YOU WILL, AND THEN ASSURE YOU YOU WILL GET A REFUND IN 3-5 DAYS SO YOU WON'T CONTACT YOUR BANK AND THEY WILL HIT YOU AGAIN.

There are prbably different ways that BBU has gotten us, my guess in my case at least as that they got it from the major security problem that had at Anthem Blue Cross that;s why child's name is on check.

I am still so upset and feel so violated.

I reported them to the FBI
the BBB
Consumer protection agency

and my friend told me to file a report on Ripoff reports(which I just did) I suggest everyone do the same, someone has to pay for this with jail time!
The government apparently does track the complaints on rip off reports,
tomorrow morning I will be filing a report with my police department and the one in Nevada.

I just thank god they did not get more it would have been devastating to us. All of my bill payments are screwed up now and my husbands paycheck wont be here until tuesday instead of Friday now. Which of course is going to make a couple bills late!

Wachovia was very good about it, they are giving me the 29.95 back tomorrow. I am just so pissed I had to close an account I have had for years.

above is nore info on Mr. Shoafs PayLoan "company" this guy is a piece of work.

So I have sat here and read every single complaint on here and have come to some conclusions

#1 It does not matter who you bank with the checks are being cashed at BOA with little or no verification.
#2 I've seen DBA thrown around a lot I see someone said it meant " Data Business Associates"  if you google DBA Nevada it comes up with " Doing Business As" and if you read that it is actually a business making "fake" business names (they don't even sugar coat it, it literally says they sell "ficticious business names" in their web site)
#3 ANTHEM HEALTH INSURANCE this seems to be the only common link.  I'm a wachovia customer been there for years never had an issue and i'm also an anthem customer but I do pay online through their web site and you have to put in your account number and i believe routing number to make a payment.


I've been using wachovia with the same account number since i was 15 (28 now) I have NEVER used a pay day loan company, I don't even have a credit card nor have a ever owned one. Anthem is the ONLY business i pay my monthly bill online through.  My mortgage is through suntrust and that is transfered from my wachovia account to my suntrust mortgage account.  no car payments, no loans (outside of mortgage), no debt to no one, I even pay my utilities directly to the respected companies in person in cash, i DONT have checks dont use them dont need them.  so if it does not bother you to list what you pay for online make a list and if enough people do we should be able to find a direct link then we can ban together against that company for having this breach.  we can accuse bank of america for the issue ( and yes they are at fault) but we need to punish they people where the problem started.

It happened to us too!  We had an acct. with Taylor Bean and Whittaker also.

Still waiting on the $29.95 refund they (DBA or BBU) promised!!! Anyone get their credit back after they were told they would have it in 3-5 business days?? it's been 10 business days, NOTHING! I'm thinking that was a BS story. Please post if you did get you 29.95 refunded back.

Happened to me too. I also had an account with Taylor, Bean and Whitaker until they went bust. Withdrawal was made today, dated 01/24/2011.

Very interesting.. I just got hit for $29.95 and I also used Cenlar Mortgage Co (formerly TBW).

I wondered about Turbo Tax, then I remembered I used a rapid tax company in 2002 or 2003 that was affiliated with a pay advance company.  If that's the case, they have ALL my information.  CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNTS, FILE A FRAUD ALERT with all three credit bureaus.

ALL meaning spouse names, children's names, their birthdates, ssn's for everyone claimed on my return, employment info from the W-2's and my routing and checking account number. OMG, EVERYTHING!  That would explain using childrens names or deceased spouse names.  I have not done any business with the insurance companies that everyone else seems to have in common, nor the mortgage companies mentioned above.

I had a very similar thing happen to me, but with one difference.  I found the copy of the electronic check on my bank account online.  It was for $29.95 to BBU services w/ the address and phone number that most of you have cited... however... the big difference for me was, instead of my name and a fake address, they had the wrong name AND a fake address.  They had my sister in law's maiden name on there and an address in Oklahoma.  So after doing some thinking, the only thing that all of this has in common is.... my husband and I are buying our house contract for deed from his sister and the mortgage is in her maiden name, but we pay the mortgage out of our checking account online.  That is the only way they might be able to have associated my checking account with my sister in law's name.  The mortgage is through Everhome Mortgage and I don't see where anyone else has had this issue with them as their mortgage holder...

When you file your taxes, if you claim your mortgage interest, if your mortgage is not in your name, you have to disclose who the interest statment is sent to.  Would that be your sister-in-law's maiden name?

She claims the mortgage interest. We do not because it has no benefit for us to claim it as we do not itemize.  So that would have nothing to do with my bank account.

I remembered, several years ago, my son was downloading music from Napster.  I just happened to walk by the computer and see someone was downloading my tax file from my computer as he was downloading music.  I did file a police report but nothing ever came of it.  How many people above file your own taxes online using your home computer and used Napster or someother music website?  I really think it has something to do with our tax returns whether someone downloaded our tax files from our computers or using a tax preparer affiliated with a pay advance company or rapid refund.  Taxes are one thing that eveyone here does have in common.  I am so sick!
