I really fell for it this time! I was sick and asleep when I answered the phone and was told I was eligible for a secured credit card from Liberty Group Services. The first line they said was "are you trying to rebuild your credit?" I should have hung up but didn't.
I ended up giving them my checking acct number and they hit me for $150.00 on two separate occasions before I got it stopped.
I have several auto pays from my checking account and wasn't paying close enough attention until my account overdrew. My bank, Washington Mutual, has been very helpful as I called and disputed within sixty days. They are mailing me an affidavit which I can fill out and sign and take to my branch office to be faxed back to their ACH dept. And the charges will be reversed.
In the meantime, they have given me my $300.00 back on a temporary basis until the action is completed which should take around two weeks.
Do not give out your account information etc. Over the phone; just hang up!!! Report Liberty Group Services to anyone you know and any government bureaus you can.
