Alliance United Corp

I checked my accounts as I always have made a practice of doing every couple of days. I saw a check approved for United Alliance Corp. for @29.95. I have never heard of this company and have no idea where they got all of my information. I called the number on the check and the operator informed me right away that she was authorized to issue a refund. I am supposed to receive it in 3 to 10 days, I'll be waiting. If you look this company up they are doing this to hundreds of people. How do they continue to get away with this scam??
