This has been going on since at least June. Caused a couple of legitimate items to bounce.
On 08/17, I called and spoke with "Shawn Morales." The connection was BAD. He kept asking me to spell my first name, then my last name. He kept mispronouncing my first name. He gave me a confirmation number. He claimed that they would cancel this "membership, " but that he could not refund the money. I asked him that if he couldn't refund it, then who could? He kept mispronouncing my first name (many Hispanics mispronounce my first name, for some reason!).
I finally called him names and hung up. So far my bank has been no help, but I'm on hold with them even as I type this.
I did find a site, membershipplus.net, which claims they are *not* the "Membership Plus" who took the money out of my account. They claim that they had to take their toll-free number off the web because so many irate people were calling them. They suggest calling the customer service number. They also suggest that this website, usacomplaints.com, is not the place to complain.
They also claimed that people were probably referred to the rip-off company by a payday loan company (not sure which one that might be).
Well, here's hoping that I get some of the money back.
