Agents Travel Network - Florida Passport - TeliflexAgents Travel Network - Teliflex - Bill Browns Travel ripoff Petersburg Florida

Flordia Passports called me at the end of March to enroll me in a discount travel club. They said it was free for 14 days while I look over the info. They said they had my bank info and need to verify the account and routing number in order to send me the free airline vouchers. I asked if they were going to charge my account anything and they said no. They told me it was just to verify that I had a bank account otherwise I was not eligible. I gave them the info.

I did receive the info in the mail and promptly called and ended my membership. They never charged my account.

Then on 04/15/05 I noticed a charge on my checking account from "AGENTS" for 59.95. On the 18th I received my package in the mail that was marked next day mail from Agents Network that explained another travel discount program. It says in very small print that I needed to respond by the 14 of April or my account would be charged 59.95 the next day.

I called Agents Network and told them to end my membership and refund my money as I had not authorized the debit from my account nor did I receive the info in the mail on time to even cancel my membership before my account was debited. They told me that I would have to submit my request for a refund in writing. I asked to talk with his supervisor and was told he was not available and that he would call me back. Needless to say..I have not received a phone call back from them.

Then today (04/22/05) I noticed a charge on my account for 49.95 from Teliflex Long Distance Service. I did not authorize this debit either. They are associated with the two travel companies above.

What a scam!! They are passing my account info to other companies that they are associated with. Who knows who else they are passing my info to. I called my bank and now need to get a new account number. UGH! What a mess!
