I received an invoice in the amount of $168.77 from Telecheck Electronic Check Acceptance Service stating that I had used the Merchant: Wal-mart No. 2550 and that my paper check must be read with a special check reader, and that information must be accurately transmitted to TeleCheck to ensure a complete transaction. Unfortunately, the transaction that I supposedly authorized could not be completed because the banking information was not read correctly by the check reader.
This company wants me to contact them at 888-263-4935 and verify my banking information.
This is a new one for me. Number 1: The Walmart store is in Vancouver, Washington. I live in Oregon and very rarely do I shop at Walmart. If I do ever shop at Walmart it would be paying by credit card. And I most certainly did not shop at Walmart in Vancouver, Washington on February 18, 2011.
Number 2: I do not shop in the State of Washington. Why would I when Washington has a sales tax and Oregon does not have a sales tax.
This spells SCAM SCAM SCAM. There is no way I would ever call this company and give them any personal banking information.
I will be forwarding this Invoice on the the Postmaster and also to the Oregon Attorney General's office.

Telecheck is a legitimate company.
It sounds like someone passed a fraudulent check at Walmart using your banking information.
Obviously you would not be responsible for someone stealing your info, but if it were me, I would file a police report and follow ID theft procedures to protect yourself. Go to the FTC (dot) gov site and look under Identity Theft for a list of items to do and contacts for filing various reports with various agencies, including the big 3 CRA's.
I hope you get this stopped right away before any further damage is done to you.

First thing I would do is contact my bank or even visit the bank with the invoice in hand.
Then, I would contact the Wal-Mart in question.
