Immediately contact your bank to dispute fraudulent charges, and block your debit card or close your 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.
File fraud complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, and at www.ic3.gov.
1) It all began when somehow they patched into my phone conversation with my bank and said that they were having a promotional which lead me into their scam.
2) Believing that I was talking to my bank I electronically signed up for their promotional of a free $200.00 gasoline voucher plus a $25.00 restaurant gift card. By the way all of the people that lead me to slaughter had foreign accents but had anglo American names, another red flag. (definitely an off shore operation)
3) Because I had a negative gut feeling about the whole presentation I called my banks Fraud Dept. in order to validate what was told to me by Ultimate Savings Plus representatives, their response was that they had no promotional program taking place and to stop any further dealings with them.
4) The BBB office that represents Southeast Florida sector gave them an F rating in addition to listing them as an unaccredited business by BBB standards they also have of record well over 80 complaints.
5) Upon further investigation their corporate office headquarters consists of an mail box at a UPS store at the address given on their business letterhead.
6) Forget phoning them, all you will get is a recording of "please wait for an operator" and hours of canned music with no expected reply.
7) I strongly believe that even the vendors offering discounts don't know who or what they are dealing with.
There is more damaging information about this identity theft ring that obtains your credit cards ID numbers just to be a member, but for now you have been given enough information to stay clear of that rattlesnake on the road. Their bogus tactics gave me a week of no sleep anxiety, something that nobody should go through due to the effects of global crime activities.
What realy got me was when he told me that I only had to pay $4.95 for the shipping charges. That did it!
I knew that it was flakey and I kept asking him to repeat the name of the company as I was looking it up on the computer.
Surely, it is a scam!
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS COMPANY! FRAUDS!
These low-lives are disgusting- tricking people into losing their hard-earned cash- they called me with the wal-mart and grocery cards w/ the 4.95 shipping. They gave me a customer service number- I tested it on my other phone and it had a busy signal- no reputable business does not have a multiple phone line/ voicemail system. That was it for me- I said- No thanks. The Indian man (with an Anglo name) then told me "I already have your CC number!" And taunted me saying it was too late he already ran my card even though on the phone he promised me he wouldn't run my card until I agreed to the terms of the offer.
These people are disgusting and they are connected to major companies like wal-mart and a large magazine publisher. You think they don't know about these scammers? They should be fined and shut down immediately. These large corporations should be held accountable as well.
DONT FALL FOR IT.
They are eally pissing me off and if they call my house just one more time i think i'm gonna go crazy and call them every name in the book. You don't call people requesting pertinent info and you have no info to give in return and on top of that reciting someone's card info that not mine!!
BEWARE!!! ITS DEFINITLY A SCAM!!!!!
Anyway, I know I might catch hell for this but... I personally enjoy calls from these people, let me tell you it is cheaper than a punching bag! You can insult their mothers, mock their ethnicity and poor English and all they will do in return is keep asking for your credit card number. I look forward to their next call where I can let out some more pent up frustration.
