Centurion Financial ripoff Champlain New York
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ BELOW
Read the complaint filed on 11/3/2004 by Midland, Texas. She provides us with the following info (then see more below):
The company that does both the ACH debiting and the IVR (voice recording) for Centurion Financial and Protel is called PaybyWeb.
The CEO is David Weiss Phone# 727-341-1823
Steve is the Office Manager and HAS ACCESS TO YOUR VOICE RECORDING! 727-530-7153
They are in the Same Building or have the same answering service as Protel whose Owners are Sheri and George Lutich the phone# is 727-443-5600 the phone will be answered "Group One"
*** David Weiss has attached a response to the complaint file on 11/3 and denies being affiliated with Centurion Financial and Protel. However, please visit his website (www.paybyweb.com), scroll to the bottom of the screen, and click on "Call Center Services". When this page opens, scroll down and download his "manual of services offered".
Once you have opened this PDF file, pay particular attention to pages 6-8 of his manual. You will learn just how extremely involved in this whole scam he is. He works very closely with Protel. As a matter of fact, his company uses Protel to set up the "Voice Authoriztion" recording for other companies. If you look at page 6 of this manual, you will see an example of how the "Voice Autorization" system works.....and SURPRISE, SURPRISE....his "sample" script is almost identical to the "crap" spewed out by operators from Centurion. There are a lot of key phrases in this script that point him out as part of the whole Centurion Scam.

What should i do to stop this scam?
They call me up early saturday morning about being approved for master credit card. She said that they will debit me for $249 and within 15 days i will recieve my credit card. On october 25 she said they will debit my credit. Unfortunately, my account has unsufficient fund. So my bank return thier request. So days goes by I thought they won't debit me no more. Few days a go like around 11/02/04 I found they debit account twice on the same day. So I decided that I won't take thier credit no more so I call up the 1-866 number to cancel my application and it was not working. Its out of service. I was suprise and thought maybe I was being punk or rip off. So curiousity leads me to look for Centurion's info and I happen to find out all the bad thing going on. I want to stop them from riping me off. How is that possible? Help

Check The Trace Number With Your Bank
#7Consumer Suggestion
Sat, November 06, 2004
I am responding to this only because I decided to contact my bank and have them put a trace on where or who debited my checking account. I was told that a bank in Florida debited the funds, so I called them up and of course they asked if it was an ACH debit and then I was given another number to call which lead me to a company called Global Marketing. While speaking with Global Marketing they stated for me to ask the bank to send me an R-10 form(which is unauthorized debit)and that has been done so now I am on my way(hopefully by Monday)to have the money put back into my account.
I was told by the represenative at Global Marketing that they will then bill Centurion for the money they have lost due to this issue. I would suggest calling the bank and having them trace the number of the bank that did the debit and contacting them to see if it is the same company as the one I am dealing with.
I will post more on Monday regarding this matter...I first want to see if I am getting the money back in my account...and by the way it was debited twice within 24 hours. I would also suggest calling the NY Attorney Generals Office to file a complaint on Centurion.

I was reading the manual at the Paybyweb site and you are right David Weiss is connected to Centurion. For heaven sakes his name is all over the pages with protel and this so called mastercard. Everybody go to your bank and complain and contact the FCC, FTC, BBB
