    BBB unable to locate business
    I saw a check posted on my account from GSS for a magazine subscription. The check used my banking account number but it not something I receive. My son had received this magazine about ***** years ago and I remember this happening a few years back as well. Also the name on the check is not spelled correctly and my address is not complete. I notified the bank to start an investigation since apparently someone is using very old information. I feel that someone should look into this since they are resurfacing. Thank you, *****************************
