Post subject: 1-800-685-9354 Credit Card Scam

I recently checked my bank statement, and their was a deduction of $149 out of my account. There was a phone number where the description of purchase would be (1-800-685-9354). I don't know what to do. I read a previous post from June but it didn't seem that money was actually taken from the persons account. However, when he called this number he was diconnected. What should I do?

usa credit is a total scam. I had a friend who had around 600 taken out of his account. He never applied,never signed anything,never ever talked to anyone on the phone. One day he went to check his bank balance and noticed it was 600 dollars short. Come to find out, usa credit got his info somewhere and took money from him. Usa credit claimed that he gave them the info over the phone(thats how they covered their butts from legal action), but my friend says he never spoke to anyone. When he told his bank about it they fought for him and he got the money back quickly. I would see if your bank will issue you another account number and close that one. usa credit will take and take.
