Actually it was worth it as I have a better acct now with no fees. Bank already credited me for the $29.95 and now they are looking into OWE and Mr Arsenault. They said the acct that deposited the check (OWE) may be Mr Arsenault himself or not. Anyhow looks like OWE will eat the $29.95 as they are the last one going back in the paper trail.

I dont understand exactly why they deposited a check to an acct unless OWE was legitimate as otherwise they would have the fraudster dead to rights. It might also be a "phone check" whatever that is, they said.

Kind of complicated but anyhow that's that. Thanks for everyone's input.
I have a lot of transactions going in and out and that's why I haven't closed my account ASAP and disputed the charge, but I'll probably be doing so shortly. What a pain...

It looks like they did this 6 days ago to a select group of people and are probably long gone, but who knows.

Finally, I figured you were Mr. Arsenault, because usually your name goes in that spot? Mine does in the upper left hand side of the check.
