LODGE
Queja 75906 Detalles

I have a fairly new student account with Higher One Bank. The primary way to access my account is through the use of my debit card as there is no actual physical place to do transactions. Over the past month I have been receiving charges on my account from a company that calls themselves "LODGE". The charges will appear and then disappear within just a couple of days while the transaction is still pending. The money has never actually been taken out of my account yet. However, the latest charge , one of four so far, just appeared on my statement again. They are increasing in value each time. They only increase slightly each time which leads me to believe that they are "testing" my account to see how much they can get away with and possibly how consistent that my account hold a balance. I believe that they have chosen the name "LODGE" because it is virtually unsearchable, trust me I've tried, and I know what I'm doing! I have called my bank each and every time, but while a transaction is pending, they cannot tell me who it is actually coming from, nor can they stop it. Furthermore, they also cannot see who the charge was from once is disappears again. I believe that this is a new scam and everyone should be aware of it, watch your statements daily. One more thing, very important...these charges always appear on a Friday when the bank is closed (most banks do not update transactions until Monday morning), and then disappear by Monday morning.
