I called this number as they have tried to called me a few times and then I saw some unknown charge for $30.00. When I saw all of these comments, I went back to my checking account, put two and two together and realized this is the company that took my money. I called them and I could barely understand the lady that I talked to. They somehow had my name and my e-mail address and said it was for some loan protection. The only loan I have is my house loan and it surely wasn't them. So I threatened to call my bank and report them as fraud as well as the authorities and told them I'd be going to my Att Gen and also the Better Business Bureau. All in all she said they'd give me my money back and I told them to erase any information they had about me. I told her if the money isn't back into my account within a few days or I receive another phone call, let alone a charge...I will not hes***ate to bring the authorities into it as well as my bank, etc etc. I am going tomorrow to get my bank account number c****e, along with both mine and my husband's debit card numbers c****ed. I watch my accounts like a hawk, logging in multiple times a day and I also watch my credit report like a hawk too.

Update, called the number got some foreigner saying that I was qualifed for a membership services account for "consumer protection." That's BS. They never would say exactly who they were and you could here MANY operators on other calls in the background. SCARY. Advised that I wanted refund and to credit my account. Given a "refund confirmation No. of ***** (contains 5 digits)." Advised that I would receive a credit within the next 20 business days. I've alerted my bank, but I'm sure like "jj" and others, best thing is to get another account. That's a big pain. These folks are ruthless, I'm sure.

This just happened to me today. I went in to my checking account to pay some bills and there it was.These thieves ripped me off for $30.00. I immediately went to my bank. They said it would take at least a minimum of 10 days to investigate this.I tried calling the # and got nowhere.They said I joined a credit protection service online BS!!! I didnt join anything! What a scam. Who do we report this to?
