https://www.paybyphone.com/locations/miami Its the Miami phone app for pay car parking. I've had a dodgy charge from them, despite never having been to the US. My bank wasn't sure if it was a 'tickle' from a scammer, or a genuine error if their app doesn't have the usual protections against a use typo.

They charged $1.25 for parking to my Bank Of America account. I live in CA and last went to Florida over 10 years ago. Clearly fraudulent and my card has been canceled.

Haven't been to Florida since 1992 and definitely didn't have the bank account then and now living in Australia. Have never registered for any pay by phone apps.

Thankfully, I saw the 1.25 charge as soon as it hit my bank from this exact same scammer-- exact same wording on my statement. Florida is one of 3 states I've never been to EVER! being the research queen that I am I can't stop hunting for the source of this scam. Past experience tells me I will learn little from my bank's 'investigation' but, I'm grateful they handled it quickly and, efficiently.

Have notifications set up on phone; as soon as $1.22 charge came across tonight I canceled my card. I am not anywhere near Miami and have not paid a parking charge in at least a year. Bank and I agree it is a "fishing" charge to take more as soon as small amount goes through.

Charged $1.25 & $1.50 over the past 2 days. I haven’t been to Miami since I was 19 years old. I’m also currently in New York. I’m familiar with how merchant accounts work. I’m wondering how the merchant account is still able to process payments with (what I’d imagine) such a high percentage of charge backs. I’m going to research & see who actually owns this business - so annoying!

It is 7/21/2019 I am living in California, received this charge yesterday for $1.00. I quickly called BoA, I was happy they responded so quickly. I am being sent a new card as we speak, though it sucks to wait 4 to 6 days for a new card but I am ok with that. I still wonder how they even got my info, as I am very careful with my transactions and where I use my card. All online transactions are through paypal which is linked to only a credit card. Debit card is only used to withdraw money if I ever need to. I want to post on here so other people do not get scammed. I am telling all my friends/family to check their balance.

Whoever is behind this tried to steal $1.78 from me. Clearly a test amount before they go for more. Fortunately, I only have just over $10 in that account and transfer funds as I need them. Still, my card was put on hold and after I called the bank, they still went ahead and issued a new card. I'm an Aussie and I don't drive so I'm nowhere near Florida and certainly wouldn't need a car park.
