Scam: They offer you a free vacation, but they need to confirm your checking account number bank routing number (these are the numbers on the bottom of your checks). Then they make unauthorized fraudulent debits from your checking account.
I recieved a call last week from Florida Passport. They threw their pitch, and I told the lady that I didn't want anything. She kept on and on, but she wouldn't stop. She had my bank account number, routing number, name, phone number, and address. I asked her how she got that information, and she wouldn't answer me. I kept asking, and she said that if I stay on the line, she would tell me. She threw the pitch again, and I kept refusing. She then hung up on me.
On Feb. 3rd 2006 (my son's birthday), I went online to check my bank account, and I was missing $149.00. I have not recieved anything in the mail from these people. Florida Passport wrote an elcetronic check without my permission. I called the phone number on the check, and they had a recording of me. The recording was made without my permission, and it was edited to sound like I actually gave them permission. My husband listened to it, and he couldn't even understand this lady. He even said that I sounded like a robot. I was furious. When I finally did speak to someone there about it, they were rude with me, and refused to give me my money back. I told them that I have not recieved anything, and wanted to know what I supposedly paid for. I explained to her that I told the lady on the phone before that I didn't want ANYTHING they had to offer, due to the fack that I am having a baby any minute. I don't have a job, or the money to pay for anything extra. The lady had the nerve to ask me why I am such a dishonest person.
I went into my banking center, and they saw the check online. Apparently, Florida Passport worte a fake electronic check. Electronic checks are supposed to look like debits, not an actual check. The bank explained to me that this check had the wrong number of digits for the check number. So, the bank gave me my money back and I was advised to close my checking account, and open a new one. I still bank with the same bank, just a different account.
If this happens to you, you must take action with your bank within 60 days. I did this as soon as possible.
