DBA - "D.K." wrote in messagenews:psCdnfsbOJQPNp7cRVn-uw@bright.net... Funny you ask this. Yes I printed out my confirmation of payment page from Chase, but they tell me that the reference number is not one of theirs?That is bizarre. Couple of other things to think about:Are you sure that you actually did this transaction from the (real, bonafide) Chase web site? (I know, it sounds ridiculous, but with all thephishing scams out there, some people wind up going to sites that lookauthentic but really aren't.) I'm going to guess that your answer is "yes",but it was worth mentioning since the reference number doesn't match.Have you ever paid Chase in this manner before? If so, do you have the oldconfirmation numbers? Are they similar? (If you've done this before andare familiar with the process, you'd also recognize if something out of theordinary were going on with the processing.)Your bank should be able to tell you specifically who got your money andhow. Your ledger will only show part of the details your bank should have.You might want to notify your bank that you suspect that you've been thevictim of a fraudulent transaction and see what details they can provideyou. They may require you to come to the bank to complete an affidavit orsome other similar document.I've paid almost all of my bills via electronic banking in one form oranother for about the last 7 years. I've never heard of a situation likeyours, so I'd definitely like to find out how it turns out.I once had a situation where I queued up an online payment with a companyand it never happened. But, in that case I knew there was a problem whenthe money never came out of my checking account. Here you've obviouslypaid--the question is who and where did it go?One last thought--if this entire process happened electronically, you mightwant to see if your bank has the ability to reverse the transaction. Theymight be willing to do this in light of the situation.Tony Pittarese
