This guy called my cellphone saying from Travel Life Go Direct and also a affliate of Bank of America and i was a preferred customer. He told me that as a preferred member i have been rewarded with a free trip to Las Vegas, he said all it was going to cost me was $1.95 for shipping and handling. After he said that, I told him I dont even believe i have that much in the bank so i could hang up gracefully and he turned it around and said, " Well Sir I can check your account for you and tell you if you have that amount available." He came back like 5 seconds later and informed me that i do have more than the requested amount. He said he would start recording the conversation now.
So I agreed to the conversation just for the $1.95 and thats all, after he had ended the conversation and hung up, I called the bank and asked them why they gave out my information to this company and the bank informed me that this company was no way affliated with them and they put a full block on my account in the amount of $888,888.88 to stop all transactions. The 800 number the travel company gave me was just a 3rd party customer service number and they said the customer service rep that had called me earlier should not have said he was affliated with my bank. The other two companys also tried to bill me and after a full month i got all three to stop billing me so i could reopen my account.
