Consumer Report

My 89-year-old Mother was contacted on 2-17-12 regarding the SMG Medical Discount program. Although she has no recollection of the transaction, she apparently provided her checking account and routing number (they must have been very specific about the info they wanted as my Mother would not easily know where to find these numbers).

The invoice was a simple piece of paper (1/3 page) from an entity calling itself Club Billing FBO SMG (FBO = For the Benefit Of) out of Montreal, Canada. The address given is incomplete, but points to a building housing art boutiques. No firm called Club Billing is housed there. A customer service number on the invoice leads to an answering machine of an oriental woman who states her telephone # had been stolen and to call the Anti Fraud Dept of Canada. They directed me to the Competition Bureau of Canada - Canadian Anit-Fraud Centre. Two of their investigators are working diligently to track down the perpetrators. They are skeptical that my Mom's funds will be refunded.

The invoice was mailed from a tiny town of 656 people in Northern Florida called Ft. White... Per the meter stamp on the window envelope.

I got a number from Mom's bank for Club Billing and spoke with Trevor who said the $ would be credited to her bank account within 21 days. Am still following up on that promise. Have asked Mom's bank to disallow any additional draws from Club Billing or SMG.

Please protect the elderly from this, and other, insidious rip-offs by telling your loved ones not to buy anything over the phone without the oversight of a responsible person or fiduciary.
