illegal removal of bank funds
Complaint

Country: United States
These folks were supposed to call me before removal of funds. They did not even though it was recorded by their system. They removed $89 and then made me call 3 different numbers to possibly get money back. They informed me it would be 5-10 days before return. FUNNY how it takes 2 seconds to remove it illegally and then 10 days to give it back. They left me with $16 to shop for groceries for my family. That can't even feed 1 child for a week. THANKS a bunch! HOW do I get them in trouble? HOW do I make their life as hard as they have made mine? I cannot believe this- bad enough Christmas is not going to happen for us because of a back injury. NOW WHAT?

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.
