Awhile back I posted on this site.Anyways I just recieved a letter in the mail from countrywide home loans that their was a fraudulant person that sold mine an alot of other's info to a third party.They have been fired and they are doing everything to keep an eye on our credit history by providing a  free 2 year service to the credit bureau's. Thank god but by chance do any of you's have a loan through countrywide???? cause this may possibly be connected on how they got my info. Was just wondering cause its weird that i get this notice and have had my credit card info stolen last month and havent used this card in quite some time now. Or it could be just my theory and its just a qwinky-dink.

I just disputed some charges made to my credit union account, and realized that I don't have verizon prepaid. I thought maybe it was a gas station at first, but noticed the letters that indicated it was verizon. Does anyone know how these people are getting access to our credit union without our consent? This is very troublesome, and I would like to get to the bottom of this.

I got my credit union statement and found $535 in charges from POS Verizon Wireless ECARS OT Folsom.  This is a summer vacation account, so these charges were not picked up right away.  The VISA card attached to this account is not used for this type of purchase.  I have a Verizon Wireless Account, and when I first called them they said that this is obviously fraud after they looked at my account, and "that makes it a legal matter", that I should have my bank call their fraud department.  So, I did that, and my bank was told that it was not the right kind of fraud, and therefore they could not help.  My bank will temporarily reimburse me all of the bank charges incurred when the withdrawals caused my checking account to go into overdraft mode, and also 1/2 of the total debits of $16.22, and one of $21.  I feel that Verizon, or their authorized subsidiaries, including ECARS need to reimburse me the remaining, as they took fraudulent information, knowing when they looked at my Personal Verizon wireless account, that I would not be using a different bank account than I normally use, or a prepaid wireless account.  I am not getting very far with Verizon, and I am really unhappy that someone has taken, between bank charges and the $16.22  weekly withdrawals from my account from June 3 to Sept. 23, they apparently are going to let them get away with it.  I have filed a notarized affidavit with the bank, and that has been forwarded to their fraud department. I do not actually know what these charges are for, only that the money was taken from my account.    I guess, if my credit union is having difficulty, my next step will be the state attorney general.

Just recently had this happen to me with over $110 in charges, plus over-draft charges from a bank I work at...Today I'm filing fraud charges with my bank and reporting this to the FBI.  I've also filed fraud charges with Verizon Wireless, though they have no notice of any of these charges..I've only had my debit card for a month and a half...these charges started showing up on 9/23/08....from CA US...I'm from NY.

Hope everything works out for us.

Well,

You can add me to the list. Received a charge for an expired account. Called my bank and said that they kept account open just in case I had auto bill pay. So, they have information for a card that I personally shredded months ago. My cc company is investigating the charge right now. This is getting pretty bad. I was victimized 3 months ago in Mexico too. It is becoming unsafe to use your credit card anywhere! P.S. Never received a phone call.

After 12 months in credit card dispute, I am finally just cancelling this card.  Maybe, this will go away OR I will recieve something in writing fromthis Verizon Wireless ECARS  and be able to contact them.  This has been an ongoing problem and like other postings, they won't deal with me without the account number---which I do not have!!  My Discover card has run out of dispute time, so I am just cancelling it.  Sorry Discover, I have no choice!@

16 transaction totallling about 250.00 to this number

Someone called me, from the above number, apparantly from Verizon, to verify my i.d.  I asked who was calling and they said Verizon ecars.  I told them I made no purchase with Verizon as I have a two year contract with AT&T Cingular.  They told me they would delete the transaction and report it to their fraud department.  $866.40 later I find that someone has been using my id to make calls with Verizon.  Since the call is from Folsum, CA and the cards come from Wal-Mart or Target (two stores I frequent) I assume someone took my identity after I made a purchase to make calls to or from the prison there?  Not a stretch of an idea today...

Just this morning I was reviewing my bank statement on-line and noticed 4 withdrawls to the tune of $325 to this Vzwrlss ecars ot - I called the number and did speak to a live person.  They told me they had no record on my account of these purchases.  Called their financial department and they said there was nothing they could do, even though the person I spoke to was an actual Verizon employee.  I do have Verizon as my cell phone company, but it is not a pre-paid account.  I had to call my bank and file a claim for fraud.  They will give me back the money taken, but I had to cancel that card and go to the bank to get another.  I have no idea how they accessed my credit card information, but it must be internal.  I advise everyone to be very careful and review all your accounts carefully.  $325 is alot of money to lose.

Thank you; I have been trying to determine what those charges were!
Your assistance is appreciated; I did put time on a verizon card a few months ago!  

Confused!

This just happened to my bf. We noticed on the online statement exactly one month after the charges began. About $490, but there was also a $75 charge from some kind of place that pre pays calls for prisoners in CA. Has anyone else had any charges for this? We did get the calls, but didn't notice the coinciding charges until just now because we had just made a large payment on that account. This really is confusing if you are already a Verizon customer....This is some bull [***] for sure. The people doing this really deserve to be caught. I do have a major problem with the fact that Verizon continues to make a ton of money off of this fraud and seems to be doing nothing to prevent it.

I had these same type of charges show up in my bank account...totally over $400.00 and when i talked to the bank the first time they just credited them back and told me there was nothing they could do to stop them...i called the number they gave me which was verizon and they have no record of charging anything to my account.  Then this morning my husband tried to get gas on his way to work and the card was denied.....i logged on to the bank website and the charges were put back through again last night...so i finally after some long arguing with the bank got them to understand these were not something i had charged and i wanted by money back along with all the over draft fees that were now going to be charged to my bank account.....
I had to cancel the card and they are sending out paperwork for a fraud investigation...she even asked me if i had filed a police report- why would i do that when my card was never stolen?

I didn't receive any calls from Verizon nor do I have an account with them. I just discovered that charges made to  VZWRLSS ECARS OT FOLSOM from my checking card has been going on for sometime. I have no idea how they got access to my account. I just opened this account less than a year ago. I will forever be more diligent in looking at all bank and credit card statements in the future. I advise everyone to do the same.

im so sad i can just cry i lost my job a few weeks ago and all the money i did have is now gone qand right at christmas this is sooo wrong on so many levels i tried contacting verizon they were no help and with this many people experiencing this proplem you know they know but they dont want to incrimante them self im filling a police report it will help wi th attempting to try to get your money back also pring out all of the computer info that you can find and summit it with your claim to the fraud department

Just got the bad news right now. I have well over $400 withdrawn from my acct. $100 a pop! This is just soooo wrong. Lucky my credit union is on top of things. I hope this comes to an end real soon. Whoever is taking our money needs to be put away and quick!!! Good luck to everyone and hope u have a Merry X-mas!

I don't have verizon and I just found a charge on my bank account for 74.55, I don't understand why it's there. I hope I can get it fixed. I guess I'll call that number.

so seem im another in this long line of fraud ill be calling my bank asap

Same thing happened to my debit card. They did it over the Holiday and Weekend so the bank was closed and could not stop the charges until Monday morning. ECARS wireless took charges of $1000. The Bank is reversing charges but someone needs to check this out cause lots of people are getting scammed by this.

Same thing happened to me....$1000 dollars later and debit card is canceled. Some get me a name, address, and number and I'll go visit whoever is ECARS wireless.

Taken from my Debit Card 12/16/2008. I will find these [***]. Anyone with information regarding this ECARS VZWRLSS scam let me know. I WILL VISIT THEM.
