Platinum Services review: Unauthorized ded. 128

I had money takeing out of my account too in the amount of $49.95 on [protected]. I have never heard of them. I have bounced check fees. Who are they, what can we do to stop them. Can we sue them?

Ok folks, I finally got a chat attendant online, She cancelled the account before a payment was issued to my bank. She said nothing would be charged to my account, I hope its true. I will be checking my account everyday. I got their e-mail this morning on this crap. I also prined a copy of the transcript of the conversation & faxed it to my bank. Hopefully it works out, But i will keep you posted if they try to get money out of my account.Gotta catch them early before they debit your account. Wish me luck! A prayer won't hurt either.

I called thier # [protected], I spoke with Chad, he was an a$$, he said they had every right to withdraw money out of my account, when I said I'll be calling the bbb, he said good and hung up on me. My bank said I should close my account, that would mean getting new checks, and ect. I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUE THE PANTS OFF OF THE F-ING AHOLES.

well it happen to me now 2x first it was the 49.95 taken out from Platnium Member Fortress securesINC so i call my bank to tell them it was not authorized they told me they would put a hold on the acc so Platnium Member Fortress INC could not take anymore money out and that they would give me my money bank and then would go after them i said thank you and fig that would be it well on 9/30/08 guess what 39.95 was taken out of my acc this time by dba Fortress secures so i call my bank again this time wondering if there was a stop on my acc how could they do this and i was told that since the name was not the same that they let the check go threw who looks at these check? someone couldn't fig out that Platnium Member Fortress INC and dba fortress secures wasn't the same f****** comp come on now im sure when i talk to the frud deptment when they open at 9.00am I will get my money back but will have to wait 72 hours like last time to get it and now there is no way i will leave this acc open so do not make same misstake i did close acc as soon as you see first charge or they will just change there name and do it again

This company has deducted $49.95 from my account also and I have never even heard of them. I have alerted my bank also and placed a stop payment on anything they try to draft from my account. I am pursuing this further - it needs to stop!

Please contact your back and let them look into this for you. This also happened to me and I called those people and there are suppose to send me a check in the mail

To add to the ongoing list of fraudulent complaints... I too was deducted an unauthorized $49.95 from my checking account, which charged me NSF Fees. As soon as I saw this, I immediately called my bank and told them what was going on. They closed my account and put a freeze on all activity. In a few days, the money that this whole ordeal claimed will be returned. I really hope and pray that you all can get your funds returned and that this scam can cease!

They take $49.95 out of my account on 9-29-08, the money was back in my account on 10-2-08. To bad I can't make them pay my nsf charges.

ON SEPT 30, I FOUND THAT MY CHECKING ACCOUNT HAD AN ELECTRONIC CHECK DEDUCTED FROM MY ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT OF 39.95. WHEN I CALLED THE BANK IT SHOWED WITH THE NAME GOVERNMENT MEMBERSHIP FORTRESS SECURED ON THE FONEY CHECK. THE BANK TELLER SAID THAT ANOTHER CHRGE WAS PUT IN FOR 49.95. I HAD ALL TRANSACTIONS BLOCKED UNTIL FURTHER INVESTIGATION. PEOPLE WORK HARD FOR MONEY THESE DAYS AND NOT FOR SOME CROOKS TO TAKE IT AWAY.

this has happened to me to 49.95 out of my account caused me an overdraft, my bank refunded it to me cause i called immediately. The FBI definitely needs to be informed of this fraudulent activity. They provide no services whatsoever

On 10/6/08 a charge of 49.95 was taken out of my account causing my account to be overdrawn and having to pay 76.00 it was reported as fraud with the bank . My account has been tampered with in the past by other thiefs. I had to pay the amount of 76.00 in order to close the account . Prior to this whole robbery, I"d spoken twice with these thiefs and I told them I did not want their dirty card . I don't even know how they got my information. Wild guess, is the internet tracking used for marketing . It's not safe ...people.

This Platinum Member Fortress Secured Inc has gone way to far. They too took 49.95 out of me and my wife's checking account. Washington Mutual has now heard this for the very first time. I have made my bank WAMU aware of the situation. I will be fighting this crappy company to the very end.
THEY HAD JUST MESSED WITH THE WRONG PERSON. ANYBODY HAVE THE NUMBER TO CONSUMERBILL.COM. HERE IS THE NUMBER:
[protected]. THIS CONSUMERBILL.COM IS IN NEVADA.
ANYONE ELSE WANT TO JOIN IN WITH ME AND HELP ME SHUT DOWN THIS STUPID COMPANY THEN PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL AT michael83686@bmi.net.

Also my other email address is michael83686@hotmail.com.

The same thing has happened to me. I check my bank account on a regular and this morning I noticed a $49.95 deduction from this company whom I've never heard of. I immediately disputed it with my bank and am hoping not only for my full refund but I hope to contribute to bringing this company down. This is a huge inconvenience and fraud!

I looked at my online banking this morning & found a charge for $49.95 and had no idea what it was for. After taking the imprint of the "check" online & enlarging it many times, I got what I thought was the phone number: [protected]. When I dialed it (several times), it answered and then immediately hung up. So I researched it online, and came across this website (and many others!).

After reading your experiences, I immediately called my bank. I was told to go to my local bank branch and file an affidavit disputing the charges, and to prevent any further charges.

ConsumerBank.com is listed (barely readable!) on the memo line of the fraudulent check online. Going to their website, I got the contact info of:

Customer Service
P.O. Box 5848
Sparks, NV. 89431
E-mail: cservice@ConsumerBill.com

I then went to the Better Business Bureau website & filed a complaint, using the above info to identify the company. I would like to suggest that all of you do the same.

My next course of action will be to send the info to the FBI agent listed in another posting on this website. (hope he's for real, and isn't going to get irate with people sending him all this info!) Next, I will talk with my attorney about the possibility of pursuing a class action lawsuit against this company, as it appears that there are a LOT of people who have been the victim of fraudulent practices.

Anyone interested in pursuing this further, please send me an email. In the subject line, please put:

Class Action Lawsuit

so that my email program will filter it appropriately. In the body of the email, you may include the total amount that this company has fraudulently deducted from your bank account.

I have only been out $49.95 (so far), which may not be a lot of money to some people, but it's the principle of the matter. This is just wrong!

Thanks!

I too was hit by Platinum Fortress Secured, Inc. with a "check" for 49.95. Thank goodness I did not have enough to cover check so they didn't get their money, but the bank charged me an NSF fee of 31.00. I have written to my bank (which is out of state) and sent them this website showing that this is happening to many other people. This needs to be investigated and STOPPED!

i had this happen to me this morning 10/08/08. i woke up this morning to check my bank account and noticed a 49.95 check posted to my account in which i had no idea who the company was.(Platinum Member Fortress Secured Inc.) I have never heard of them nor visited thier website, like they claim. Call this number [protected] and you can speak w/someone and they say they will reimburse your money! After they hang up on you a couple of times of course.

Make sure you report them to your bank, bbb, fbi as a fraudulant company. Our bank happened to reverse the transaction and start thier own investigation (WAMU). So do call your bank first.

call the number after 6:00 pm central time [protected]

I went online to check my statment on 9-29-08 and this consumerbill.com had taken 49.95 from my account. Everytime I have tried to call the number no one answers. Now yet they have done it again taking 39.95 out. This is causing me problems with finances as well. I am very glad to see that I am not the only person. Once I find out who this company is I will be going to the police.

The same thing happened to me concerning money taken out of my friends account with my name on it from"Platinum Member Secured Inc."This was fraud at its highest level and the FBI needs to investigate these people immediately!I truly do want to see them prosecuted and held responsible for stealing money out of peoples accounts.

I was looking at my bank statement and noticed an NSF fee of $20.00 with a reference number attached to it I did not recognize. I called my bank and they told me Platinum Member Secured Inc. sent in a check for $49.95. I had never heard of these people before. I tried to call the number they gave me and there was no answer, in fact, it sounded like a fax machine ring. My bank further investigated it and found there were lots of complaints about this company doing this. Okay, the funds weren't in the bank so they didn't get the money, but now I have a $20.00 charge I am responsible for and I will not be able to get it back. Does any one have any suggestions of what I should do to get this money?

These people are stealing money and getting away with it. To me that is a federal offense.

long story short..i emaled this company becasue no way was i logging into thier chat--giving them more of my personal info. they responded with some BS. no matter, b ecasue my bank, local police/sherrif, nc attorney general, and state fbi office got an earful of my rage! i had to close my account, because once they have it, you are not safe! my bank was helpful, because they said my info was WRONG on the checks so they knew it was BOGUS! i am looking into filing a class action suit...waiting on the lawyer to call me back!

I too woke up and found my accout overdrawn, they took $49.95 out. Who is this company? Going to the FBI or local police.

dude this is jacked up! how can they do this ### my bank just called me to tell me i have a overfraft and that it was 4 this copany come to find out they already had cleard 2 other checks taking over 100$ out of my saving wtf o and this is the best part on the stament the phone # for the place was unreaduble

im right there with you all. i pulled my statement up this morning and there it was a $49.95 check cleared my bank that i had no idea what it was for. i tried calling the [protected] this morning and got like a pager # called back later and got the same recorder as all of you. I went directly to my bank with all the complaints printed out here and had to close my account and open a new one.. Its a bunch of crap that people can be so low to do this and get away with it. My bank has been very helpful and waiting on the fraud department through the bank to call me back they are going to try to find some information on them. In the meantime im going to report them to every complaint form i can find and the better business bureau what they are doing is wrong preying on people who does not have the money in the 1st place. The so called web site they say to go to is useless does not even give a phone # on that page just a live chat you can talk with who knows who you are really even talking with im not giving them any more of my information going to let my bank go after them. Hopefully my account will close before they can get any more from me.. If any of you all do file sometype of action against these crazy people email me i will put my name on it...

This is the second time they hit my account for 49.95 each time they got their money plus cost me 27.50 each withdrawal. I have learned my lesson about online loans, but it is a costly lesson. I really need my money and hope my bank can help. I try calling them and each time they have a different number, plus no one is ever available to take my call. SO PLEASE AMERICA if you have any idea as to how to stop this and get a refund and possibly sue these people please email me at llawry9875@charter.net. They have to be stopped!

I couldn't figure out where that 49.95 came from so i looked it up and they took it out of my account i never told them to i have never even heard of a place like this i am trying to get my money back i need it i can't believe people can do that to people

the only way to get away from this is to close your account (reopen)! you can not stop a check when you dontknow the check number...and the next step after this that they try to stealyour identity----please be smart and call your bank, state attorney general..my bank calleed thelocalpolice/sherriff...

The same thing has happened to me today. What did everyone do? My bank told me that I have to get a police report and get a new bank account. I want to know who this company is. Who knows they might do it again in my new account. I am utterly pissed!

I found out today 10/10/08 that ( $49.95 ) was taken out of my bank account on 10/9/08 - I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS
TRANSACTION PERIOD! I have no idea who this company is and how they got my information. Again this was not
authorized by me in any way! I have tried to call [protected] and this sounds like a fax line by the sounds on the phone.
I tried to go to ( ConsumerBill.com ) and my email will not go thru to this site. This is FRAUD! I have disputed this transaction
with my bank and when I saw all these complaints on this site I printed this information and took it to my bank. I want this
money returned to my bank account immediatly by this company.

My wife and I had just closed out our checking account with WAMU, and in turn reopened a new one. I had just contacted the FBI in Boise, Idaho due to the fact that I live here in Nampa, Idaho. I also contacted the BBB (Better Business Bureau in Reno, Nevada. According to a lady that I spoked with at the BBB in Reno, Nevada Sparks, Nevada is just about a mile away. I chatted with SAYA at consumerbill.com about their address and then she hung up on me over the internet.

The FBI is now in charge of this and is asking anyone with this kinds of complaints to close out your checking accounts and reopen new ones due to the fact the this is a white collar crime.

just got a bank statement with photograph of check they used to debit funds from my checking account went to bbb and fount this number since the one on the check is bogus [protected] call and complain leave a messages I refuse to be robbed like this! never had any contact with this company before :(

How come we can't get in touch with this company now? And how the hell did they even get our checking account numbers. I have to deducts from them 49.95 and 39.95 AND I NEED MY MONEY BACK...I live from day to day barely making ends meet.

well i guess i am not the only person this company has done this to i just check my account and found out that they took monies from my bank know my rent and all my bill will bounce this company needs to be stopped they keep hurting us little people that cant afford this to happen too

I just checked my checking account and this company also took 49.95 from my account without my authorizatio. I am pisted as that was all I had in my account. When I call the number on the check they make you wait telling you what your position in line is and then they say no one is available and hang up on you. I need to know what I can do. I received calls from them and I always decline the offer. Somebody HELP!

I had the same experience

i just checked my checking account and realized that i am overdrawn and that some Platnium Member company toke 49.95 from my account but whenever i called the number on the "check" it says that there isnt anyone to take my call. i want my money back what do i do

This is wrong and this company needs to stopped I just found out this morning that I just been Robbed. I called bank and they said that it will take the 5-7 to process a claim for fraud. What type of company is this anyway? Does anyone know? WTF!

I have had unauthorized $ 49.95 come out of checking.. What the heck? I need a call back asap..Now account will go negitive.

This company is ridiculous. I have also had the $49.50 taken out of my NEW bank account that I had yet to put money in. So of course I owe my bank $22.00 for overdraft fees. My name, address, and phone # were on the check as well. This was a 3 day old bank account, and I never gave it out to anyone! So one how did this company do that? And 2 why would my bank let a check go through to an account that had just opened and had no $$ in it? This "company" needs to be stopped! I feel robbed. Some will say that it is only $50 but still...what other info do they have on me? This is scary and it pisses me off! F@#*ing give me back my $$ you frauds!
