It's an online vendor. They said I called them and wanted to buy something but didn't have a credit card. They agreed to sell 'me' the item if 'I' authorized a large initial payment by phone and then agreed to 6 monthly installments to be paid the same way. So they expected to receive 4 more payments this way.
The bank manager told me that whenever you write a check to someone they have ALL of your banking info needed for this type of transaction.....your name, address, account number, ABA number, etc. So it could have been ANYONE who I've written a check to in the last.....I can't even guess how long.
He did offer one piece of good advice - he said to always pay using your debit card. That way the bank can just cancel your card to stop future withdrawals instead of having to close your entire account.
