Bank account fraud alert

This is from a forum I frequent, and I'm pasting in the first part of the post.

There's a mysterious fifteen cent charge on my checking account from Friday. Googling to try to make heads or tails of it revealed that a LOT of people have been hit with similar charges recently.

It showed up this way on my statement:
GFDL 800-764-0847 TXUS GFDL

This tiny charge is hitting MANY people with accounts with all sorts of banks. It's a common way to test an account, and once tested, it's possible for the thief to go back in and steal whatever's in the account.

I've checked my own bank via the online system, and it hasn't shown up (yet), but I'll be checking back every day to make sure I know if/when it does show up. Most banks will put the account and bank card on hold and send the account holder a new card. Please spread this around--this isn't a false alert.
 

It's Rainin' Men...okay, the next best thing!
