I applied for a payday loan at:
www.www.amnestyfinancial.com/lastchance/process.php
and was denied. A few days later a charge appeared on my bank account from www.idprosup.com, Identity Theft Protection for $31.98. When I called the company to report the fraudulent activity I was told that when I applied for the loan I was automatically enrolled in this program. Although I assured the representative that this could not be true she refused to do anything more than cancel the monthly subscription. I have had to dispute this charge directly with my bank to receive my funds back.
A few days later another recurring charge from a company with the identical website as Identity Theft Protection appeared on my account for $6.78. When I called the company at (866) 886 I was given the same speech with the same results. I don't know how many more charges will appear and how many more times I will have to dispute them but I hope this company is stopped before they do any more damage to unwitting consumers.
Just to make sure that I never authorized these companies to debit my account or agreed to any contracts with them I tested the original site by putting in bogus information and submitting it.indeed there is no fine print authorizing these companies to extract money from my account through simply applying for a payday loan, which is all I did!
I have reported them to the internet fraud division of the FBI at www.usa. Gov.
