A company called Identity Theft Protection Services claims to protect people from identity theft. They actually steal your personal information.
Kristy Patterson noticed hundreds of dollars had been taken out of her account without her knowledge. "I probably would have never caught it if I hadn't doubled up on my bills last month to have a free month for December to buy a nice Christmas", said Patterson.
The company had been debiting $31.98 out of her account at least twice a month for 11 months. By the time she realized it, they had already taken $700 from her account.
"It may not be alot for alot of people to me 700 dollars would be buy 2 or 3 really nice gifts for my kids at Chrsitmas, it would have been nice to have that extra money to spend on them."
Their website does not say where they are located or what they are about. It does give you the option of closing your membership with your checking account number.
The Better Business Bureau found that Identity Theft Protection Services has a failing rating.
In July, the Federal Trade Commission also filed a complaint against them.
The B-B-B says the company has at least 30 other names.
The so-called "Brolin Brawl" video will be shown to the public in Shreveport City Council chambers on Thursday. You can also see it in its entirety on ktbs.com. How do you believe Brolin and the other cast and crew members were treated by SPD?
