Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten
wo on Ken from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosato. I
had a very good time to you, good holiday time.
Let's go right to our busy phones. Vincent in Brooklyn,
who I'm sure will give me a good tip on
what to do about my laryngitis.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Uh um PAULDI male and m Paul detay, A little tea,
A little honey exactly born natali ate a borano at
a and k I VOSTRICARTI thank.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
You and to you as well. Happy holidays, Harry, Christmas,
Happy New you to you and your friend.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well, what I would like to tell your audience is
beware of scams out there because and also download the
app from your banks because recently, my my checking account
was scammed in October, but I didn't get the printed statement.
It was scammed towards the end of October, but I

(00:56):
didn't get the printed statement until December first, a couple
of weeks ago, and I went what And I looked
on it and what somebody actually did They put in
the withdrawal for my account as a pre approved withdrawal.
Now I immediately called up my back. I said, hey,
you know me I don't do auto pay with anyone.

(01:20):
The only ones who will electronically cash your check are
a utility company because they don't send somebody down to
the bank. But this person who ever did it, made
a big mistake, because the anti fraud police are on
the case. What they did was I don't know how
they got not only my checking account number, but like

(01:42):
the eband number, all the numbers that are at the
bottom of your check besides your account. And with this fool,
did I know the person's name, And I'm not going
to say it because the investigators gave it to me.
What this person did was they bought something and they

(02:03):
paid their bill. They must have had bad credit because
there are these companies that you buy something from one
of their pull prove vendors and they'll they'll advance the
credit on it and then you have to pay them.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
You can because it's through a secondary person exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
So this fool, this fool used the money that they
pilfit from my account to pay their credit card bill
with this. With this, it's not master Card or anything
there these these third party companies. It's not master Card
and it's not Visa. And my advice to anybody is

(02:45):
beware of these companies. That's all I could say. And
this fool made a mistake of pretty big several thousand dollars.
Can pay it off their bill with my pilfit money.
And so did you get your back?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
At least do they give a bout?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I'm with God. Actually I'm sitting at my desk
and I'm rebalancing my check and account.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Hey, here's my advice to anybody who tries to rob
from Vincent. I wouldn't do that exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Then when I had to, not only I had to
make a police report, when I spoke to the bank examiners,
because when you go to the bank, they send you
to they call up their insurers and everything, and they
backtracked the account all the activity. And the person did
it at eleven fifty nine PM, right before the start

(03:36):
of a new day. And so the bank examiner says,
do you know so and so this person that did it?
I said no.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
So I also, Vincent, I mean to cut us, but
we got news time. But listen, I'm just glad you
got your money back. And again, a merry, merry Christmas.
Happy No, your God bless you and your family, and
we will definitely checking it. I'll be in on Monday,
so call us during the Larry Matthew Show METTI in
the morning. We'll catch you out then. Thank you so much, Vincent,
