Freedom Gold / Suntasia Marketing (also Affiliated With TeliFlex, Distinct Advantage)
Freedom Gold (Suntasia Marketing, Travel Agents Go Direct, Distinct Advantage, Floridaway,) Telemarketing scam that lied and charged my checking account with out my authorization

On 12/22/06 a check went through my checking account that charged me $149.00 from freedom gold. I had never heard of this company or agreed to any fees from this company. I researched them and found MANY reports of scam and fraud about this company.

Apparently they are well known for doing this and many other people got the $149.00 charge for absolutely nothing in return and no agreement to any fees. I had recieved a call a month ago about a FREE gas certificate and agreed to that but i questioned the caller many times making sure there were no charges or fees to be expected and the caller assured me many times that i would not be charged or agree to any kind of membership.

According to usacomplaints.com, all the calls for freedom gold and many other companies (Travel Agents Go Direct, Distinct Advantage, Freedom gold, Floridaway, Prism Communications, Agents Travel Network, Capitol Vacations, Travel Agency Network, Teliflex Communications, and Versa Talk) originate from Suntasia Marketing 8751 Ulmerton Road Largo, FL 33771 phone # 727-471-0276.

According to the many complaints of fraud i have read, once you agree to the "reward" from one of these companies without agreeing to any fee or membership, then you are automatically signed up with memberships to the other companies and promotions which contain charges and fees.

I currently have only been charged from Freedom Gold (without ever using them and being told there was no charge and never receiving anything from them) for $149.00 but i recieved in the mail a letter and a card from TeliFlex (which is in conjunction with Suntasia Marketing) that said i would be charged $49.95 starting 1/04/07 because my 21 day free trial would be up.

I have called and emailed both freedom gold and teliflex to cancel. The operators said my plans have been cancelled, but i wouldnt be surprized if they were lying about that too. I also called Distinct Advantage (who i never recieved a phone call from or recieved anything in the mail about) after reading the other promotions attached with Suntasia and they said i had a membership also (i havent recieved anything from this company!) and cancelled that too.

I wouldnt be surprised if i have membership and future charges with all the companies and promotions associated with Suntasia Marketing. The only thing i have ever agreed to was the FREE gas certificate from Freedom Gold and the only contact i have had was that original phone call about the gas certificate (which i never received either) and the package from TeliFlex.

Usacomplaints.com told me i should get in contact with your office about this obvious scam. What should i do about this? This has to be illegal and these criminals need to be stopped and refund the unauthorized charges.
