Bogus Check Electronically Withdrawn from Account

An electronic check was drawn on my checking account; the check number was a duplicate number, I do not have any record of this transaction or the amount, $149.90. I have called, faxed and emailed this company "Momentum "Direct", but have received no response. The phone fax and email were listed on the faux check. The email is bogus, the phone is an answering machine, the fax may have gone through, but don't know where it went. There is no address to mail questions and the only thing I find on the web is scam information for this company. I did not authorize this check, what is my recourse?

Tell your bank that a transfer out of your account was made and you want to place a claim. It depends of whether this was an electronic check or if an actual paper item was used to cause the withdrawal. Your bank will react appropriately, but in each case you should receive your funds back from your bank. Your bank will handle attempting to get the money back for them, but you will be covered.
