This co. Recently contacted me wanting my bank info for them to draft 2 payments of $100 from my account. I told them I needed to make sure they were a real company. They provided a call back #, and answered when I called, plus I had heard of a company call "Ameritrust" before, so I thought they were legit. The co. I was thinking of is Ameritrust Mortgage, which is a legit co., but this isn't them. I checked my bank balance on the day they were supposed to make the 1st draft and it wasn't made. I called the customer service # they provided, but no one answered & it went to a voice mail box.
After 2 days of calling the #, I became concerned and "googled" their name and found this website. I called my bank and went in to put a stop payment on any drafts they tried to make out of my bank acct. I also looked on my phone log files and still had the "405" # (it's listed as a land line in San Francisco, CA) Ameritrust called on, so I called it. The rep said I would have to talk w / customer service & hung up. I called back several times and a lady named Cathy said she canceled the transaction & provided a confirmation #.
I told her my bank wanted to get their ACH # (co. ID) to insure no drafts were taken out & she promised to give it to my bank representative. When the bank called, Ameritrust refused to provide ACH # and threatened my bank with legal action.
Ameritrust tried to make 2 drafts, but so far has not been able to. As soon as all of my checks clear my bank, I'm closing the account & opening a new one & I would suggest anyone else who has provided this co. Their bank info do the same. It's very sad that we live in a world with low life's like this trying to take advantage of people!
