Last month I received a phone call from someone who had all my info, They wanted to sell me a vacation package to Florida, I said I lived there and was going back soon and I wasn't interested in their offer. The woman wouldn't take no for a answer. I kept telling her I wasn't interested, she finally said ok, I hung Up.
Today I checked my bank account on line (Riverside National, out of West Palm Fl.) and noticed a charge of $59.95. Since this was not expected, and I don't get paid till tomarrow, of course it caused a few overdrafts. I was told this was taken out as a draft, and not with my depit card. I was given the company name and a phone number to call, but outherwise told there was nothing I could do.
I called the number, and was told that they could send me $400.00 in airline vouchers and a vacation package in place of the $59.95. Ya right, When I said I wanted my money, I was told I could get a $100.00 in gas vouchers. When I insisted on my money, I was told I had to write to them and once it's on file, I'll be reimbursed. Yet after finding this site, and seeing all the different address with the same phone number, I really don't think that will happen. I called My bank, tried to explain it to them, and told them about the complaints against this scam here, but I was told there was nothing they could do, I have to get my money back from the company myself. The Bank will not reverse the charges or overdraft fees. I use to think I had a good bank, guess I was wrong.
Now what can I do?
