I received a call from Emily in October. We set up a $258. Post-dated check over the phone and she guaranteed the card would be received before December, just in time for Christmas. Before transferring me to another operatior. She said I would be given a phone number to call at the end of the conversation to contact them with questions.
The second operator spoke so quikcly, I barely understood him. When he stated the phone number, I only received 8 of the 10 digits. When I asked him to repeat it, he had already hung up.
When the prearranged date arrived, I discovered that the funds had been taken from my account as an electronic debit. The funds had not been taken using the post-dated check.
I went to my bank and explained what had happened. They helped me file a dispute on the transaction and stopped payment on the post-dated check number as well.
The bank provided me with the phone number, 480-752-2262, which was for company submitting the electronic debit. When I tried to call, the number was not even a valid number. I even did a reverse lookup of the phone number through yellow pages on the internet, and the search found it was not a valid number.
