    You are dealing with a "discount membership" cramming scam.

    Dispute unauthorized charges through your bank, and block the card number or 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.

    Do NOT waste your time trying to get your money back from any scam through the scammer.  Always immediately file a bank dispute, as that is usually the only way you will ever get your money back.  If you leave your account or card number active, you can expect additional monthly charges, probably around $58 to $150, until you get wise and shut it down.  The couple buck charge was just a teaser to get your account number, and a test that it was valid.

    The game they will play is to try to delay your bank dispute past the 60 day FRB Reg. E or FCBA dispute period, after which your bank will be unlikely to be able to get your money back.  To do this they will use various excuses, like "mailing an information packet" that never comes, "cancelling your membership" but they lose the "cancellation" so monthly charges continue, requiring you to get, and send in, a "refund request" that never has any effect, having to call a "refund number" that is ignored, or the cancellation "lost", etc...

    File fraud complaints with FTC, your state AG, and at www.ic3.gov

    Money Budget Savers withdrew money ($29.95) without my authorization with my debit card number. I was also charged an overdraft fee of $25. I have nevers been on their site, ever heard of them or know what they are all about.  This was all done on July 29, 2012. The number they have next to their name on my statement is 1-800-916-1813. It has MN as their state.
