I received a mysterious charge on my debit card for $79.77 from Allen Daniel Associates in Waltham. I never authorized any such transaction. I never even heard of Allen Daniel. So, I called them up and they didn't know who I was either. They couldn't locate me by name or phone number in their accounts. Interesting. Then they asked for my SSN! No thanks.\r
I moved on to my bank to dispute the debit. They said that my debit card itself (16 digit number) was actually used. Wow! I should really start shredding my receipts. So my bank reversed the charge and issued me a new debit card. Hopefully that takes care of that.
Pros: they were pleasant enough on the phone with me
Cons: either not thorough enough or dishonest in practices - I'm not sure if a client or their own employee used by debit card info
