AMR LD Services Unauthorized bankcard debit--fraud Irvine California
On July 1, 2002 my account overdrafted due to a debit towards the account for $61.02 made by AMR LD services. Not only did they take out this money that was not authorized by myself or my husband, but I incurred a $27.00 overdraft charge from my bank because of them.
I had not used the account for about 3 weeks, waiting for all items that were out to pass through before I closed this account. Now I cannot close the account because it is overdrafted and I have to clear that up before it can be closed out.
My husband had not used the account since June to make an ATM withdrawal. I do not know how these people got my debit card # or had the right to debit my account. We had not made any internet purchases, or telephone purchases with the card recently.
I tried to call the company, but kept getting disconnected, and when I tried to leave a message on the voicemail for someone to return my call, it said the mailbox was full. I was going to tell them that I was reporting them at this moment for fraud.
I am off work right now, and cannot afford to throw money down the toilet on overdraft charges or someone stealing my hard to come by money.
This has got to be reconcilled and they have to be stopped.
And I was shocked to learn that so many other people have had the same problem--the same company stealing their money!!

AMR LD is allowed by Tiger Direct to steal $$

I recently found out that there were additional charges to my account (3 more to be exact). I made further discoveries!
Tiger Direct says that they offered a calling card from AMR, free for one month, then charged afterwards unless you cancel.
BUT, we never asked for this, we never received anything, and we were being billed for it.
I called Tiger Direct, and I explained that this is fraud. I explained that I was filing a report on them and AMR. I told them that my bank would be contacting someone to get their money back, that they are putting back into my account.
I repeat, I didn't ever receive anything and didn't authorize any debits on my account. I would never pay that much for long distance service! I will not use Tiger Direct in the future. I told them that.
I had over $200 stolen from me, I am lucky, because I am getting it back. But I'm sure there are others out there that will never see their money again.
