Premier Savings Bank - Premier Nationwide - Judy Martin ripoff lied about company information and debited my account under false pretenses Scottsdale Arizona
Judy Martin with Premier Savings Bank called offering help on debt consolidation and bashing all the consumer counselling centers as ruining you credit.
She requested payment of $279.00 to get the "ball" rolling and promised to send all the necessary papers. I gave her a check number (made up) over the phone.
That night I got worried and checked the BBB in Scottsdale & Phoenix and found out that this was a scam. I immediately put a stop payment on the check and the amount. Unfortunately, they sent it through my bank without a check number so it went through. The bank is reimbursing me but I hope to help them find these people and report them. I am sure they will since they are now out the $279.00. Thanks for all the information you have on the internet. I will certainly follow up on this matter.

Anne did you know that giving fake check info is a federal offense. Yea it's called FRAUDULENT SCEMES. People go to prison for using bogus check info. BEEP, BEEP, lie #1. We could not have ran your check through our merchant account if everything didn't match-up. BEEP, BEEP, lie #2. Also if you called to cancel a bogus check with your bank, they would've been on you like the colors on a rainbow. BEEP, BEEP, lie #3.
I've worked for Premier for many years and it's a very reputable company. Anne do us all a favor and think a little before slandering a company or it's employees. Oh hey look up ftc.org and do a search for Premier Savings. The Federal Trade Commission is a Federal agency with very accurate info. The BBB is not a Federal agency. It's a fraternal organization, kinda like The VFW, American Legion, FOP, etc... You have to pay dues and fees to be a member like a country club. I hope you folks who read this get the picture. Take every thing you read with a grain of salt. Thank you for your time.
