Prestigious National Honor society was not authorized to take 4500 from4 my bank account which they did on May 26, 2011 and trying to take another
$500 on May 31.  They are downright crooks

    I am having problems with Prestigious National Honor Society.  In May without my permission they took out 300 dollars.  In late June they took out 1,000 dollars without even talking to me.  I am extremely upset right now.  First I am going to try to get it back through my bank.

    PNHS took $500 out of my account on July 15 without authorization. They have sent a rebuttal to the bank so I am now forced to prove the fraud. Other than contacting the BBB and attorney general of my state does any one know what can be done?

    Sending a "rebuttal" is a common tactic with fraudulent "intangible product" cramming scams.  It also shows up with worthless "medical discount card" scams.  There is no actual marginal cost to their "products" so there is no risk in fraudulently claiming people "ordered" them.  Some produce doctored or edited phone recordings, misrepresenting that they are "authorizations".  They often do not meet FTC TSR rules, for example, they may be missing consumer disclosure of the account number to be charged, or they might not record the whole call, leaving out material misrepresentations.

    They often also put barriers in the way to lawsuits or prosecution, such as by hiding behind shell corps, using mail drops, and sometimes foreign call center locations and payment processors, all aimed at raising the costs to suing or prosecuting.

    That is how these telemarketing frauds are conducted.

    No you are not forced to "prove" fraud.  Typically the "evidience" of the "sale" that they produce is itself the evidence of fraud.  They are trying to either fool your bank, or to intimidate you by threatening to smear your reputation to your bank with fraudulent and unproven assertions.

    File a fraud affidavit, and make a police report of the theft.
    That is all it takes.

    If you have disputed within the 60 day FRB Reg. E or FCBA period, and your bank fails to refund your money, you can sue your bank.  It is their responsibility to properly handle reports of fraud, and they become liable if they fail to act on your timely notification.  

    If you have a bank that prefers to hand over your money to a scammer, over protecting their own customers, it's time to find a better bank.

    And as you can see from the other complaints, it is not safe to leave any account open if they have your account number.  They will just keep taking your money.

    Have your bank close your account due to fraud.

    They took $500 of unauthorized charges from my account as well.  They have horrible business practices and are extremely rude.  They promised to put back the money in my account but didn't.  I am angry, too.
