I've checked with my bank, and the bank this debit originated from, and a service that deals with Web Revenue Service. Supposedly it was an error. You can get your bank to stop the payment and get the money put back in your account, as well as any fees that were charged as a result. I ended up with $70 worth of insufficient check fees due to that debit. My concern is, how do we know what this company was actually up to. I was told the company provides collections for businesses, and that they were merely testing accounts to confirm they had the right accounts. So how does that end up debiting our accounts, if they were only testing? And if this company can do something as idiotic as this, how do we know it won't happen again, on a larger scale?

I just checked my account, and I saw the same $14.95 debited from my account. When I called I got a voicemail. I have no idea what this is for. My bank is entering it as an unauthorized debit and refunding my fees.
I discovered a web revenue withdrawal from my account for 14.95 from my account on 5/27. I called the number however all I get is a recording that the mailbox is full. This was not authorized this guy must think he's a real smart one but when the proper authorities get him we will have the last laugh....
My mother-in-law just called and asked me to look up this web revenue service and phone #. She also was charged 14.95 and called the number just to receive an answering machine. My question is, how is this guy getting account numbers? Perhaps I'm naive, but this is crazy to me! The bank told my MIL that it was authorized by a 'John Smith' - a fake name obviously - has anybody else heard that name associated with this?
