Today when I check out my online account, I noticed that deductions for $19.95 are being made monthly - I never noticed this before until today.  I know that I have never registered for Friend Finder in the past.  I have also noticed monthly payments of $44.95 are taken monthly from my account too, from something called: TWX*SPORTS ILLS RENE.

Basically, what are my options?  Can I call the bank and tell them to cancel payments from these two sources?  I'm guessing that Friend Finder knows my debit card number from some spyware keylogger thingy.  What else can I do, I have almost no more money in my account right now 'cuz I'm going to school.

call the fraud hotline of your bank. They'll stop payments.

That was a best buy scam where they told you to get free issues.  for some reason, they kept on sending me more issues.  I had no way of contacting them to get them to stop sending me magazines.  Now they must have gotten to my bank.

Can I contact the Better Business Bureau over this?

Yeah, call the bank and cancel all payments to those accounts

definitely call the bank and stop future payments, and then go after those companies and ask for your money back. Look into it and see if your identity was stolen. There may be nothing you can do though... sorry.
