Checking account debiting scam hits Wisconsin

A Wisconsin banker confirmed to me that this scam has hit Wisconsin: Someone is generating random bank routing and account numbers and trying to deposit one penny to detect active accounts (an automated process). When finding a live account, they begin debiting money. Some consumers have lost at much as $600.

Look over your checking account withdrawals every month. If money has been debited from your account without your permission, ask the bank to reimburse you.
