"According to the Telemarketing Sales Rule, if someone guarantees or suggests that there is a strong chance they can get or arrange a loan or other form of credit for you, it's against the law to ask you to pay-or accept payment-for their service until you get your loan or credit." http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/tmarkg/loans.htm If you haven't already, changed your bank account number, and if you have another credit card, change your number on this as well. Inform your bank, in person, or written letter, that Imperial Benefits is NOT authorized to withdraw any money from your account, and they might be involved in illegal practices. It is important that you tell you bank. They might have other options for you, depending on their own policies. To alert the proper authorities, you can fill out an online claim form at www.ftc.gov. You get direct access to the form, at their home page. You will not receive an individal responce, but they do open cases faster, where there are a higher number of complaints filed. You can also call 1-800-FTC-HELP to find other pointers. It can't hurt to try for a refund. Be sure they are aware of your contact with the proper authorities, and that they mail you a refund in 5 working days. All contractual aggreements are null and void, where illegal practices are involved. They have had every opportunity to prove themselves legitimate, and have failed. Report this to your Attorney General as well. The Post Office Box and phone number you posted are consistently accurate, but I just wanted to give you some more contact info. If and when you fill out the Complaint Form at ftc.gov, SHARE the information, I am providing here: www.imperialbenefits.com Registrant, Administrative, Technical, and Zone Contact: Mr. Henry Chan P.O.Box SS-6348/A124 Nassau Bahamas Email: [email protected] Domain Servers in listed order: ns1.prodirect.com ns2.prodirect.com This information comes directly from the Registrant, and might not be entirely accurate. This has not been provided by Network Solutions, and is from some other registrar unknown. Record created: 1-12-2004 Expires: 1-12-2005 I'm still searching for more contact info, but wanted to give you this for now. Demand your refund. Rip-off Report Volunteer
