PREMIER BENEFITS - BUYERS UNION FAST TALKING RIPOFF ORANGE California
I got a call from a fast talking sales rep. She said I would get $200.00 worth of gas coupons for shipping price only of $3.95. Which of course would be deducted from my checking account. She said it was a Federal Government offer.
After I gave her my info. Then she proceeded to tell me I would only be debited $3.95, and would receive offers from other places. If I wanted them I would have to fill out the forms and send them back in. Then I had to listen to an automated part of the phone call. In the middle of it I told her "NO, just cancel it, it sounds too good to be true". She told me I had to finish listening to the automated part and if I still wanted to cancel I would have to tell her after the automated part.
Well when the automated part stopped she said"thank you and have a good day". I stopped her and told her to cancel it. She then said "you want to cancel"? I said cancel it. She hung up on me. On 8-9-04 I receive all this mail from them. They deducted $119.00 from my checking account. They never canceled it.
So I then call them. She tells me I have to write a letter and they will reimburse me. Well I try the website. No website exist. I look on the internet for the company. No listings. I now have a car payment and an electric bill that is going to bounce cause they took all that money. She said they will reimburse all the money and the overdraft fees. Somehow I doubt I'll ever see my money again.
So while I have to wait to see what I got into my electric will probably get shut off and my car repoed.

I got a call from Premier Benefits this morning. Said the same thing, we'll send you coupons and a free phone card to try for 7 days, after that I may cancel at any time. If I decide not to cancel they will pay my monthly cell phone bill up to 300/ month w/ a one time payment of $99.00 and just 49.00/ month after that. I decide I could cancel at anytime, so why not get the free dinner vouchers. I gave them my info, bank account #, and routing #. After which I changed my mind, and wanted to cancel. "Steve Marc" told me in order to cancel I would have to restate my account info, and this time would have to be recorded. I said NO, and hung up. They called me back several times after that. I then did a search and tried to call the company and complain.... But I am not allowed to speak w/ managment until 3 days after the phone call. I asked the gentlemne his full name so I'd have referance, he said "Tom" and would not give me a last name. He did give me an ID#, of "11456". I now am afraid, and will most likely be canceling my bank account. Please beware!!!!!!!

I got a call from Edna gray JobID 0444 Premier benefits 800+357-9145 She told me she would be sending me a package of Free Movies and free Restaurants coupons worth $350.00 and all I had to do was to give her my bank account to deduct the $3.95 for Shipping and Handling. When I asked for the Web Site the lady said it was under construction , I did a Google Search on the information she had given me and the only thing on this Company with the Adress given was on RIP-OFF Report.com. I even read the letter to the Lady she still argued. Thank You for saving me from this scam. 1442 east lincoln Avenue P.O. Box 361 Orange County, CA 92865
