Like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, the 1‑800‑397‑5761 number shows up on statements with no obvious trick. It’s a classic telemarketing scam that disguises itself as an adult‑site subscription, pulling money via electronic checks. Victims should immediately flag the transaction, contact their bank to dispute the charge, and request a refund. Change online banking passwords, enable two‑factor authentication, and consider using credit cards instead of debit for internet purchases. Report the incident to the FTC and your state consumer protection office, and block the number on your phone to reduce future attempts.

I've experienced similar contacts from Rino Systems, but the mystery remains as to how they obtained our account information and what common link we might have, which doesn't seem to be related to our banking, as I use Sovereign Bank.

I'm experiencing a bizarre issue, similar to others. A mysterious check appeared in my account, containing all my personal information, with a payment instruction to 'Market Billing on behalf of Tel Media' for $29.99. When I inquired about the check, the representative claimed it was related to an adult entertainment site. However, she stated that the transaction wasn't recorded in their system, which seemed illogical since the check had already been posted to my account. I decided not to argue and was advised to call back the next day. However, the line has been busy, prompting me to dispute the transaction with my bank. Fortunately, I discovered this website, which has helped me realize I'm not the only one affected by this issue.
