Yesterday, following the phone call that I received from these people I acted promptly. I called my bank and told them what was going on and froze my account so that the initial fee of $29.95 could not be taken out. I then contacted my local police department and filed a report with them. At this time they are unable to follow up on the case because an actual crime has not been committed against me yet. I then got on the internet and filed a report with the FBI at www.ifccfbi.gov. This site is intended for internet fraud, but addresses other fraudulant activities as well. Tomorrow I will be contacting the North Carolina State Police and I will be informing them of this companies activities. This morning I called First National Benefits on their "customer service" number and spoke to the woman that called me yesterday. I told her my name, that she had called me yesterday, and that I know this thing is a scam. I proceeded to tell her that I informed my bank of these transactions and that I am not authorizing them. If these transactions do go through I will take legal action. I also told her that I had informed my local authorities, her local authorities and that I had filed a report with the Fraudulant Claim Center with the FBI. I emphasized that if she touched my bank account she would be prosecuted. She replied with a quick, "Thank you for the info" and hung up.
