Unauthorized debit charges! Complaint Rating: Company information: Check Bill Waus Kirkland US Ohio United States I just checked my bank statement on line and you guessed it I had a charge for $1.05 from Check Bill Waus Kirkland US. When I alerted my bank they said that it had already been authorized and would be debited from my account tomorrow. I too purchased the Grant Master CD but I canceled everything because it turned out to be a rip off. If anyone knows what can be done about this I would appreciate the info. I am going to have to go to my bank and cancel my debit card AGAIN! Last time this happen was a few years back. Someone got my information from Paypal and got me for $600.oo it took nearly a month to get the money back. The charges that time were from Tranzelvainia, Romania. I would be glad to participate in a Class Action Law Suit. This kind of thing cannot go unpunished!

There is not much you can do about this issue. I have tried legally to presue the credit card company for this card and similar but they are not liable for this problem and it ends up costing you more in legal fee's then it is worth. I believe since I have found it is not being done on a small scale I believe the credit card companies are in on the scam and have arranged outside sources to generate these charges ranging in millions of dollars.
Everytime you cancel your account and reopen it they win anyhow because you have to pay fee's to open a new account so either they get away with ripping off millions of people for small amounts of money that amounts to large amounts of money or they get raises and pats on the back for bringing in so a large volume of sales on new accounts being generated. I am open to discussion with this from anyone and would appreciate your feed back.
It use to be the banks where afraid of bank robbery now we have to be afraid of the banks robbing us.
From what I understand the banks blame this on bots that are placed on a business's computer and generates millions of fake small amount bills hitting on credit card numbers that might allow them in as a pending transaction. I spoke with a company down south that had over twelve thousand dollars in money generated from these bots and was making more through the bot then from there montly business. Who is placing these bots? The banks and computer companies will blame it on a rebel virus gang of 12 year olds getting vegenence for what I don't know. I think it's the banks making the bots, they are the only ones benefiting from them.

I went in to my account this afternoon and sure enough there was a charge pending for $1.05. Has anything been started to shut this company down?

I just had the same charge on my checkcard as well. The banks said they could do nothing until the charge was posted. Noone seems to know who this person or thing is.

I have the same charge. I havent used my debit card online for months. I dont know how they got my information. I dont want to cancel my card because it such a small amount and because i have it set up to pay different things, ie gym... ARGGG this is the second time that this has happened and that why i havent used my debit card online for ever.

Just checked my bank account and found a $1.05 charge from Bill WAUS. What the heck is going on? I haven't ordered anything!!!

I had the same 1.05 charge on my bof a account yesterday, of course, there is nothing they can do. I canceled my card. Months ago i bought "on-line ' a book from Kevin Tredeau, (and then canceled) just as a few people have done. I think that might be the link . Bof A is not interested, they (the bank) has a new policy, if a "pending transaction "puts your account in the red even for a moment the new charge is 35.00. They could care less about these "little" charges.

I also have a charge from Bill Waus Kirkland for $1.05. But it is pending on My son's child support Eppi Card. I can't stop it either. It has to process before I can challenge the charge. I also have to cancell my son's card and have a new one reissued. I have never heard of Grand Master or Kirkland. What can we do?

Add me to the list of $1.05 charges from Check Bill Waus Kirkland WA. It has been pending for 2 days. Called bank yesterday. They said they are hoping it would fall off today. Hasn't yet. Still pending. Will repost of it clears.

I just checked my account today and noticed a $1.05 charged to my BOA account. I called and canceled the card and filed a report. I've never heard of Grant Master but I do have a paypal account which I will be closing today. I never thought this would happen to me, but I guess it can happen to anyone.

Add me too... Just checked my BofA account and had $1.05 pending from Check Bill Waus, Kirkland, Wa. I never bought any "Grant Master" CD but did buy Kevin Trudeau books about 2 years ago. Funny that I got a fake email from poeple claiming to be "Pay-Pal" yesterday but I reported that to them and they confirmed it was a phishing site.

So what is the connection? Grant master? Kevin Trudeau? Pay-pal? Or all of them. It seems like we should find the common thread here.
I too would love to see these crooks shut down.

I too found this charge on my child support account and called to stop the authorization from going through. They told me to Call Division of Consumer affairs. You want to file a complaint against the company so you are looking for the fraud against businesses in your state. It was very simple to file the complaint I was able to do it right on the internet it took 5 min and then I sent them a copy of my statement. I have no idea who these people are and I have not ordered anything I just started to use this card last month at two stores never online so I have no idea how they are ripping people off it is very important that everyone file a complaint and a police report with your local department the more people that do it the better off everyone is they will take this seriously if more people complain. This is ridiculous I had to run around and empty out my account today over this and I have no idea how these people got my information. If everyone files a complaint it will stop my bank said they can do this over and over again even if you get a new card the only way to stop it is to file the proper legal paperwork becuase this company figures who will go through this much trouble for 1.05 charge but if everyone does people like him will stop ripping off the public or at least think twice on the way they do their scam.

I have no problem with a class action law suit email me if anyone begins one and if anyone has a contact number for this company i would like that as well. I do not bank with bank of america for those of you that are concerned about that bank nor does this account have to do with my pay pal. No matter how much money you have or don't have its not right to pay for something that you never ordered, received etc. THIS COMPANY CAN KEEP CHARGING EVEN IF YOU CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT THE BANK TOLD ME THAT IF YOU GET A NEW CARD THEY STILL CAN CHARGE ON IT AND WILL ROLL TO THE NEW ONE. PLEASE BE ADVISED TO THAT I SPOKE TO 2 PEOPLE AT THE CREDIT CARD/DEBIT CARD DEPARTMENT AND AT MY LOCAL BANK.

I noticed there was a difference of $1.05 between the available balance and the balance on my checking acct., which meant $1.05 was pending and waiting to be posted. I am meticulous about writing down all of my debits and knew I had not bought anything for $1.05. I called Bank of America and they said it was a charge from WAUS CHECK BILL KIRKLAND WA (Kirkland is a town near Seattle, WA). The first customer service person at the bank was slightly nasty because I said I didn't think I should have to wait until the charge was "posted" to my account in order to make a fraud complaint, given that this is a scam that is being reported now on the internet. He said, "Well I can put you through to the fraud division but don't be surprised if they tell you what I'm telling you now." Snooty guy. But luckily the fraud person did not have an attitude, and advised me to cancel the debit card, and sign an affidavit that it was an unauthorized charge. In the meantime they immedidately credited me back the $1.05 instead of waiting for it to post. As for Grant Master, I never heard of this product/company, so my acct no. must have been stolen some other way.

Never heard of Check Bill Waus. I rarely use my bank card for anything, so as soon as something comes up, I notice. Call your bank up right away if anything looks fishy! Bad People are getting away with hurting others. I was charged $1.05, I know it is a small amount but still someone has the info. Don't ever buy anything or pay your bills on line ever! Call the company directly instead. There are too many hackers I'm guessing from the y generation. Just be careful.

My question is are you all dealing with different banks? I too have this and am at a major bank. I also have to wait till it posts to do anything about it.

I have the same $1.05 charge that showed up this morining from Check Bill Kirkland. This is rediculous! I have not ordered any of the things some of the others have, yet here is the charge! Has it let to more charges for anyone? I don't want to go through the hassel of getting a new card for just $1... This is through TCF, not BOA or Paypal...

I am very worried about my account I see an unauthorized charge in my checking account from BILL WAUS KIRKLAND. I tried contacting my bank but they are closed due to the fact its the weekend. But, how did they get a hold of my bank information? I purchased items online but not through this company.
