I was billed 249.95 just as many other reports show. I called the 888 number from the website several times. Got different stories every time. The only simularity between stories was that they needed my card number to access my account with them. It appears that the only service Interactive Audio Text Services is able to provide is a refund.
It looks like all this guy is doing is charging people falsely, holding their money for a couple of weeks and then giving it back, probably assuming that no one will prosecute. I did some additional investigation and found that JPMedia LTD is a small publisher in Dudley, England, and the websites owner gives an address in Las Vegas, Nevada. They obviously are not actually related. I also have pictures of the owner of the website and know that he is either currently or formerly an employee of ING financial group in the Las Vegas area, and he likes to play foosball.
This all goes to show that if you don't give up, you can find these people. I would encourage everyone to proceed further in their own investigations and do eveything they can to catch and bring to justice this perpetrator. Authorities need to be contacted as well.
