Complaint Review: WellNet America

They're still up and running. Similar to other complaints. Telemarketers called .. all with Indian accents. They already had all my bank account information, however, wanted me to approve a charge of $3.95 to my checking account. They explained that they were from Home Depot Promotions Department and that they had a $200 gift voucher for me. They wanted me to tell them my account information (which they already had.. still I refused to say it )on a recorded line (I refused.) They explained they already had the information, that American Banking Association had given it to them and all I had to do was say it on a recording.

After I told them I would only give it out after I contacted Home Depot and approved who they were, they started getting pushier. They told me they were going to charge my account and that I could only stop them by telling them my account number so they could give me a tracking number. I still refused and told them I would be contacting the police. They left a message on my answering machine telling me again that they will charge my account if I do not give them my number on a recording.

I talked to the police that night and opened a new account at the bank the next morning. The bank is going to go after the company this time they said because I was able to provide them with information (which I found on the internet) about the company. So far nothing has been taken from my account. It's technically a victimless crime the police told me. They usually do not go after this; however, the bank will if you can provide them with a history or other information. I'd like to see these people prosecuted.. it's a shame all the people I read on here who were ripped off.
