Aug.30,2010, I noticed a $139.95 debit on my bank statement. The company name was DCainter. I immediately called the number because I had no idea who this was. I can't recall my 1st conversation but I did recognize it as a typical internet money making scam.
I remembered being on Facebook and finding a link to a Marion woman, where I'm from making blah.blah. money online. It was close to home so I clicked the link and the website was familiar to one I fell for in 2009,"Aci Berry". I wanted off the site so I tried going back a page but couldn't and a box kept coming up asking me to hold on for a even better value at .99 vs. $2.39 for something(?). I literally couldn't get the page to close and had to reboot.
I honestly, did not give any of my credentials and definately not a bank acct.. I'm wondering if the Aci Berry scam sold this place my acct.#. I can't think of any place else they could have obtained this from. I'm very very careful online.
To sum this up, I've called the same 877.304.1469 #, noted 16 times on paper for 2 months and each time it's the same line, "there was a problem crediting your acct., so please give 5 to 7 more business days for it to show up. I've been working w/ my bank and they have seen nothing even try to come in from them. I've talked to Jen,Dana Smith,Jeniffer,Mike,Alexis,Vanessa,Kris,Tracy,Brianna,Alex,Mike,Dave&Maddie.
I've filed with the Rio Hondo, TX. BBB and they have made 2 attempts to get to these people but they have not answered. I found last week their city and state both changed on the BBB website as did their web address and more. They are now in San Diego,CA. I have a complaint number pending with the FTC but they did very little, if anything but give me the number.
Today, I had it out with them using a few choice words and they hung up on me. I did ask the person how they obtained my bank info. and who they bought it from. She made a mistake by telling me, "We only use the acct. for our business and don't note where it came from". Right there she admitted buying my info..
I called the National FBI number and talked with a man who told me to file a report with my local police dept.. and they will in turn, contact my bank and get my money back. It was too late to call my bank so I'll know more tomorrow or Monday. I also want to add that for some reason when I'd talk with these people, I'd hear a clicking like a tape recorder. And today I could hear my voice echoing in the background. What for..?.
