Consumer Narrative
Someone created a fake XXXX account using my name, address, and credit card number and made a purchase on XXXX for two items that were supposedly shipped and delivered to my address. When I saw the charge of {$120.00} on my credit card and couldn't locate an order in this amount on my husbands XXXX account, I knew right away it was fraudulent. I called Barclay 's Bank immediately to dispute the charge and request a new card. They issued a provisional refund for the amount listed above while they completed their own internal investigation. I received a letter dated XXXX that said they had completed the investigation and were able to determine the charge was indeed valid and they would reinstate the amount to my card. When I called them today ( XXXX ) they told me they have received documentation from XXXX showing that it was a valid purchase on an account with my name and address listed for that amount. I asked if they could send this information to me and I was told no. I was told by XXXX at Barclay card that I'd need to call XXXX to resolve. I called XXXX and spent 2+ hours on the phone and spoke to 5 different people. First person wasn't able to verify the account because my phone number didn't match. Clue number one that this was a fraudulent account. I was then passed between other folks and the final person XXXX basically told me I needed to call my bank back to request a new card. I explained I had already done this. And then miraculously they couldn't find my account. I am out {$120.00} and have no products or anything. I have never had an XXXX account under my name or address. And now I am getting emails from XXXX telling me they can't find the account.
