Why is Linden Lab taking money out of my bank account without asking?

[Deniya]

Can anyone explain to me why linden lab is taking money out of my bank without permission? First off I didn't know about it and I didn't purchase any linden dollars... Has this happened to anyone? Has anyone noticed?

You can look at your dashboard and the transaction history to see what was debited when and who it went to.  I suspect you are a member of a group that charges the group liabilities to all members of the group.  If this is what it is, then you can leave the group to no incur any more group charges.  If not and you still can't figure out where the money went, call billing support.
