EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck Let us know how you do!

A Bit of this About...

AUTHOR: ReactorCore - (Canada)

POSTED: Sunday, July 19, 2009

There's actually a LOT of these kinds of offers surfacing on the web recently, both on the American and Canadian side of the border. Once again, it's a "too good to be true" sounding offer. You know the end of that phrase, right?

I went and checked one of these sites out of curiosity, and it starts with the basic lure of; 'We'd all like more money" and "your government may be holding THOUSANDS in your name!"... Flash the cash, all under the guise of helping the little fellow out see?

And all for JUST the shipping cost? They'd be losing money. That's the first tip off.

As I went on, and got more of the wind-up, the pitch came.... The payment screen. First thing that caught my eye was all the methods of payment. They were all there, except one.... Money order. My guard goes right up when dealing with any company that will not accept Money Orders of any stripe. I have to ask myself why they need such instant access to my funds if they're a reputable company and are into "helping the little guy" for the long haul?

Finally, when I figured that what I was looking at just didn't sit right with me and went to leave the site, a pop-up came up telling me that they couldn't hold my "kit" for more than X amount of time and was I willing to let this opportunity go, etc... That tore it for me... Nothing more off-putting than the smell of desperation. If you're a good company and in it for the long run, you're not going to let an offer to a potential client expire in minutes.

Also of note, there are other sites that are using what looks to be the same basic template of the site for the same style of thing. There is one out there promising that you can get paid by GoogleAds to the tune of a few thousand per pay period, complete with "testimonials" (first names only, natch) and pictures of people holding checks.

Thing is, the approach is the same; making something for next to nothing, and the "feel" of the site is the same, right down to the "DON'T GO" begging when you leave the site.

If one of these set ups did indeed do you this way, it's a deceptive and fraudulent practice, IF the extra charge is in no way mentioned in the terms of sale and/or not disclosed to you.

One question I have, is since you obviously ordered the CD, did you actually get the product promised and did it provide what was claimed? If NOT, then people *really* need to be warned about this, as these sites are springing up all over and preying on people's hopes of getting a leg up in the current economic climate.
