On December the 13th the IRS called me and said that I was owed $3500 in back taxes from the years 1988 & 1989. They said they needed my account # so they could direct deposit the money to me. I'm thinking great and right before Christmas too.
So like a dummy I gave them my account number, then they transferred me to a recorded conversation with another person. There I was asked to repeat my name, address, phone number and account number again. Then they ask me if I give them consent to deposit money into my account. I said yes.
Then on Jan. 3rd this place called national healthcare solutions withdrew $299.95 from my account. That left me with $9.03. They cleaned me out.
Lucky for me they didn't wait 1 more week because then they would have got all of my husbands disability check. He had a stroke 5 yrs ago and can't work or talk.
So they don't care who they steal from.
I got the number from the bank and called this place. They played a recording for me with me saying yes to the question: Do you authorize National Healthcare Solutions to withdrawl $299.95 from you checking account. This question was not the one that I said yes to as I stated above. I let them have it told them I wanted my money back. They said I would have to cancel my account with them. (Which I never opened in the first place) So I said cancel it and give me my money back. (Let me add the woman I talked to was Patricia Patrick or so she said.) I asked how long it would take, she said to call back in 48 hrs. The money should be returned to your account by then. (this was on 1-4-08)
So on 1-08-08 I called back and talked to a (Joanne Vryant or so she said) She said my account has never been closed. When I gave her the cancellation code she said there was no record of that cancellation. So I cancelled my account (that I never had in the first place) again. She gave me a cancellation code and I hung up.
So I decided to call back today 1-09-08 to make sure that my account was closed this time. This time I talked to (Ronald Gonzalaz or so he said) I asked for the status of my account and I was told that my account was closed but the corporate office will not return my money. That's about what I expected.
Each time I called I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that there wasn't one available. The last time I asked for the phone number of the corporate office and was told they couldn't give it to me. Then I asked for the corporate office address and that's how I got the address I have. The only thing is I was told that the people I were talking to were in New Jersey. So I don't know what else to do.
Tomorrow I will file a police report and see if they can help me. I don't know what else to do.
All I can say is watch out these people are jerks and theifs and they don't care who's bank account they wipe out.
