What is it?

(This is a late reply i know but keep this advice in mind)

Never ever give your debit card number over the phone AT ALL even if it's from a company you trust it's the best way for your debit card number to be exposed to potential hackers and thieves, you will have to call your bank and tell them what happen and request a new debit card ASAP and close the one you have (there is no use in calling the "Review Journal" because they will tell you the samething I'm telling you, make sure you write down the old debit card number just in case of something happening in the near future

Once you received your new debit card immediately destroy the old one and if possible find a way to keep track of what you deposit, withdraw from your account i do that on mind and everyday I am informed on what goes in and what goes out

I reluctantly gave someone my debit card number over the phone for a $25 charge for a renewal of the Review Journal. He knew everything including my Review Journal account number so I thought it was legit. My acct now, has a $50 pending charge that I did not authorize. I suspect fraud and now my account has been compromised.

Can you help? What is this charge?
