I received a call from Emily in October of 2002. We set up a $258. post-dated check over the phone and she guaranteed the card would be received before December, just in time for Christmas. Before transferring me to another operatior. she said I would be given a phone number to call at the end of the conversation to contact them with questions.

The second operator spoke so quikcly, I barely understood him. When he stated the phone number, I only received 8 of the 10 digits. When I asked him to repeat it, he had already hung up.

When the prearranged date arrived, I discovered that the funds had been taken from my account as an electronic debit. The funds had not been taken using the post-dated check.

I went to my bank and explained what had happened. They helped me file a dispute on the transaction and stopped payment on the post-dated check number as well.

The bank provided me with the phone number, 480-752-2262, which was for company submitting the electronic debit. When I tried to call, the number was not even a valid number. I even did a reverse lookup of the phone number through yellow pages on the internet, and the search found it was not a valid number.

Putting an end to the Rip-offs

AUTHOR: Arlene - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, February 18, 2003

After having money removed from my account, I discovered from someone at the bank, how companies like this take advantage of consumers. The lady at the bank, told me her husband use to be an investigator with the Attorney General's office.

Apparently, the state of Florida has a limit on prosecution of fraud cases. If a case is $250.00 or less, they will not prosecute. (Notice most of these ripoffs are for less than that amount.) Individually, a person can not file a case against these companies, but if a class action suit was filed, then they could prosecute.

My advice is if you can research the company first, and if it is based out of Florida, close up your wallet and hang up the phone!
