No phone call, no yellow paper. Just a call from my bank to say 6 fraudelent transactions had been made totaling over $500 whilst my card was WITH ME in my wallet and I hadn't accessed my account for at least 24 hours. I live in Australia and thankfully my bank is refunding the money ASAP but it seems after reading these posts it has been going on for over a year all over the world - why is no one looking into how this is happening and stopping it?
They got my social security money from my debit card for $55.96 and one for $108 which did not clear. I have no idea how they got my card number, etc. The only place I use my card is at the bank ATM and Earthlink has my card number for billing purposes. Now I am going to have to fight to get my money back.
BEWARE! This scam is still on the rise. My bank called me when they noticed a suspicious transaction for a $301.93 transaction from RWS-ESERVICES SINGAPORE SG. I too have no idea how this happened!!! Although the charge is being disputed through my bank, it could take up to 120 days, which means $301.93 is frozen until it's proven I didn't authorize the transaction. I am so grateful to the people hired at my bank for doing their jobs!!
This is still going on ! Just returned from holiday in Australia to find £380.83 missing from my bank, they used the numbers from an old debit card that I had shredded back in November, to buy tickets at a Theme park in Siingapore ! Thankfully my bank repaid the charge to my account within 3 days, and there fraud squad is looking into it.
I froze my bank account and filed a report on these guys today and it was the exact same thing. I was a little unsure about if it really was a fraudulent charge or if i just forgot i bought something but as soon as I got home I googled RWS eservices Singapore and read all this and now I'm so glad I didn't just brush off the 60$ and 120$ charges on my bank account. I didn't get any phonecalls or little notes but I do check my statement at least once a week And noticed something was wrong
Well, I found out that I was scammed by RWS eservices today and of all things they took the money straight from my child support card!!! I mean, seriously?????? WRONG!!!! My daughter and I needed that money for groceries and now they wiped out the whole card. Absolutely HORRIBLE!!!
