Approximately 2 weeks ago I had been contacted by a young man named "Max Johnson" for Unified Services informing me that I had won a $1000 internet Shopping Spree and a vacation. I was hassled for some time about me giving them my check account number and that they could NOT go over the amount of $1.95 for shipping and Handling of the packet explaining my benefits and a CD for a trial if Internet and some fat burning pills. I told them I DID NOT want them but they insisted saying it was only a trial and I WAS NOT OBLIGATED to purchase. I kept insisting I would send a money order but "Max" promised me "We cannot make the check out for ANYMORE than $1.95, not a PENNY more". LIE!
Now, last Thursday, I find a check had come thru for $149.80 made out to "Unified Services". I immediately CANCELED my account (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SINCE THERE IS NO STOPPING THEM FROM DOING THIS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, REMEMBER, THEY HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER!).
Then, I was able to find another customer service number [protected]) and asked to speak to the manager. This guy named Derek ID#60 (he would not give his last name) and proceeded to rim him good for this Thievery! He said I had to fax a letter to the Refund Dept. I said "The REFUND DEPT. I did NOT BUY ANYTHING! I demanded they return my money! I am still waiting to hear from them, and I WILL NOT LET THIS GO! I refuse to be robbed by these thieves and we all must band together against them! My next step is the BBB and the News stations in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. They have messed with the wrong guy!
My, My, My! This is such a shame. They have called me nonstop, literally nonstop. They speak the same old garbage about winning this shopping spree, which of course does not exist. He asks for my checking information, luckily for me, I don't bank with anyone, because I don't trust banks either. He calls out my address, yes its correct, yet not concerned, don't think anyone is that bold to show up on my doorstep, besides these people are cowards. So as they continuously call and call and call, I decided to block their number from my cell, YAY! Well how smart are these people, they now send me text messages with links in them, I choose not to open them; However on wednesday I will meet with an attorney who seems quite interested in this case and I told him about this site. He said we would also put a call in to the state attorney general and pursue this. I must say these people should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for the falsehoods that they perpetuate. If these people have access to others private confidential information such as bank accounts, despite how they obtained it, it seems to be gathered in a criminal manner, especially if you did not release it to them. I saw someone say here that some companies sell your information to telemarketers, but no one has the right to sell your bank information. ITS A CRIME!

This is a response that Unified Services Posted to this website in response to someone else's complaint:/URL removed/
My first response to them was to contact BBB when i called Unified they gave me some practiced Mon-BO-jumbo.These people know they are wrong for what they are doing. And hopefully they are soon shut down from robbing people it's a scam and they know it
Hi Everyone..Unified Services (fake name) is a US based company and they have outsourced their telemarketing part in India.
$1000 shopping and vacation for $1.95 is too good to believe, right /? yeah, its a scam..and the worst part is, i was a part of that..i was an mere employee there, who cheated ppl for his bread and butter..i m sorry, pal..i mean it. :(
I want to share a few things about your banking information :
1) Anybody can know your routing number because routing number is not given for your identification but for your bank's identification.So, the routing number of all the a/c holder of a same branch (same bank) are identical.So nobody can take your money by just knowing your routing number.
2)Whenever you sign a cheque you give away your a/c number because your bank a/c number is printed on your cheque page.So, if your neighbor knows your bank a/c number you can still have a peaceful sleep.
3) The one and only thing they need to mess with your money is your authorization. Authorization can be written (Cheque) it can be verbal (like in the case of unified service).
Unified services took your authorization for $148 while they offered u the free trail services (remember ?).
All i need to say is, think zillion times before giving any authorization over the phone.
Thank you and Sorry.
