this company tried to debit an amount of $49.99 membership fee to my bank-unfortunately, that amount was not available so they were not successful in doing so but this did create an overcharge in my bank account in the amount of $30.  I called this company and asked to speak to a supervisor and was hung up on 3 different times.  I told them that they were a scam company- these people were all either Mexican or foreigners.  I do not know how they got my banking information or my ssn.  I have filed a complaint with the BBB in Scottsdale , Arizona.  If you have been scammed by this company- please do the same things and file a complaint with the BBB.

    Immediately contact your bank to dispute fraudulent charges, and close the account due to fraud to prevent additional fraudulent charges.  Follow up with a written dispute or fraud affidavit sent to your bank's dispute address from your statement.

    File fraud complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, the Arizona Attorney General, and at www.ic3.gov

    Do NOT trust any cancellation or refund promises, as such scams will say anything to delay you past the 60 day FRB Reg. E or FCBA dispute periods during which your bank can just yank back their stolen money.  Dispute with your bank, and follow up with a written dispute or fraud affidavit sent to your bank's dispute address from your statement.

    Do NOT use checking accounts, debit cards, or check cards  for any payments to anyone you do not know and trust.  Limit their use to payments to trusted creditors such as rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.  Use only credit cards for retail or online payments, as the fraud protections are stronger and it its less disruptive to block credit card numbers when fraud occurs.

    Are these charges connected to a telemarketing call, a "discount offer" on calling some order number, an online purchase, or don't know?

    What online merchants did you provide account information to before these charges showed up?  Do you believe they transferred your account information to this company without your authorization?

    Were you presented with some pop-up "discount offer"?

    Did you apply for an on-line "payday loan"?

    Did charges occur despite rejecting (unchecking) some "discount offer"?

    If you provided you account information through a website, and unauthorized charges followed, what was the URL of the website?
