I received a call in January claiming to be offering me to be put on a "National Do Not Call List". I figured it was a good idea so I decided to percede. Towards the end of the conversation they said that I was being recorded and that they would need my account number. Unfortunately, I gave them my account information without asking why. They told me I would be receiving a package in the mail for a "Discount Pharmacueticals Program". I told them I was not interested in the package. Before I got off the phone I got the information of the individual calling and a phone she told me, "Mary Evans, phone number 1-866-, hours are Monday-Friday 9:00 am t0 5:00 pm, and my File number was 2466911, if I got any telemarketing calls I was to write the company name down and call her".
The next week they deducted $399.00 from my checking account, and twelve days later another check to "Benefits First" in the amount of $399.00 was taken. Both my savings and checking were wiped out, checks had been returned, and I was responsible for over-draft charges. I attempted to call the numbers on the checks. The one number I spoke to a gentlemen and he told me I had to wait to receive the package for a refund and they could not refund me for my second check I would have to call the customer service number on that check. This was a joke, I called the other number and got an answering service. I called that number several times and spoke to a person twice. They only called me back twice. No effort at all was made by the companies to refund me.
It has now been three months later. I am to receive a refund for one check on April 28th. The other check the number is not is service and they have since given my account number to another company, which has taken $399.00 out of my account on 3/15. Since January they had successfully scammed me out of an estimate $1,100.00. I have yet to see any back. I have closed my account, filed an affadavit with my bank, and contacted the attornery general. If anyone has any advice please tell me. Thanks.
