Does anybody know specifically what the posting “CHECK CARD CASH ADV. PNC/ATA” could be on my online banking statement?

I realize that this is a cash advance, and I also am certain that it is fraudulent. I just wonder if the code “ATA” or “PNC/ATA” could mean something that might narrow down how this happened?

PNC is a major bank. It sounds as if the cash advance was done at a PNC location, probably at an ATM.

Just found out that mine was a western union transfer that I did.

Report it to your lender immediately. Let them figure it out.
