I have a Discover checking account. Recently, there was a withdrawal from my account labeled "Official Bank Check" in an amount like $652.53. I called their fraud dept and they gave me a new checking account. The next day, same withdrawal on the new account.
Has anyone else experienced this? The weirdest part of this is that I don't even know how you can get an official bank check from Discover. It's an online bank. Where would you go to request this check?
I got an email notice from them that said "you or the recipient" will receive the check in 7 to 10 days. So it sounds like someone called them, asked for a bank check, gave them a random address, and got it mailed to them?
How does this scam work? And how many times will I need to change checking accounts?
