I did not receive a call from this number but something strange has happened. I viewed my checking account online and had a charge for $29.95 from Interstate Serv 8003975761. I kept trying to call this number but was getting a busy signal. Someone finally answered the call. This is a telemarketing firm. The $29.95 was for an adult web site they said I subscribed to. I DID NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANY SUCH WEB SITE. The lady said she would refund my money within the next 2 to 4 days. So.... everyone needs to keep a close watch on their checking accounts and credit card accounts and be alert for any unauthorized charges.
They work for a www.m-billingsupport.com. A third party billing company. She said they had a problem with an account but wouldn't tell me who it was with. Needless, to say I don't trust her and already made a claim with the bank. I just want to know how they got our info.

This is a common scam. The bad guy has hired this company to collect from his stolen account numbers and names. Please send your request to www.mbillingssupport.com. They need your name the memeo number and the last four of your account. Remember a bad guy or a site has your account number you need to close the account it will get hit again. They should send you the bank it came from and a account holders name. This is a big problem for prosecution it involves many states and departments. You need someone who wnats to do alot of work the solve this problem.
thanks so much for posting this. I just found the same thing in my account yesterday and called the # and they said they would refund it. I will definitely be following up w/them to make sure it's refunded by next week. Virtual Services is the name of the company who charged it so I also want to follow up with them as well.
Like the rest of you all, I also had an unauthorized charge to my checking account from this company for $34.95. I called the 800 number and with only giving my name, the woman knew why I was calling and told me that the funds would re-post to my account in 2-4 days. She stated that this was for a monthly subscription to an adult website and that future billings would also be canceled. I'm unsure how they got my info, but I can only guess that the company making these charges is hoping people don't notice so they can take the money and run.
It almost seemed too easy to cancel this transaction. Wish I knew how they got my info and I'm afraid that this won't be the first time.
I also had an unarthorized charge to my checking accout from this company for$34.95 a month. I called the 800 number my money was reimberst in 4 days. I want to know the web sit I was almost to for and how it happened my back nor the people at the 800 number could not tell me. I want to kmow the name of the web sit so I never go there again. The only sit I went on was peoplesearch.com, but never gave out any information on my accout. So how did this happen?
My Dad got hit for $29.95 by Market Billing on behalf of Interworld Services. Same story. Called both phone numbers on the check and reached Market Billing who says they bill for many telemarketing companies.Said it was for adult web site. Said they would refund the money in 2 to 4 days. My dad is 84 and doesn't even know how to turn a computer on. Did you really get the money refunded?
Go to the bank and contest the charges on your fathers account and the bank will refund the money.. Tell them you want to stop anymore unauthorized deductions from his account. I got hit twice from them and the bank refunded my money, at least they told me they will. This only happened today.
This exact thing happened to me, but they tried to withdrawal this from my account three four times on the same day. My local banking institution in Wellsville, Ohio, ended up refunding my money and additional fee when I contacted the bank and we both discovered that my name and account & routing number were used, but the address was completely wrong. Good Luck with your father's account.
I received the same thing. A charge for $34.99 and the website was www.m-billingsupport.com and every time I try to go to the website it ends up being a dead link. They said the same thing that it was for an adult website. I'm sick and tired of these a**holes doing this to innocent people. Be very alert about your bank statements people and follow up with anything like this.
Our bank statement just got hit with a $29.95 charge for an adult website as well from this m-billingsupport - obviously a clearing house for fraud and scams. Our bank will reimburse us because we caught it within less than 30 days of it appearing on our statement, but the charge went through over 30 days ago, so "Monica" at m-billingsupport tells us "no-way" they would not reimburse us themselves. We'll let the bank fight it out with these crooks.
Hey everyone... how do people get our information?!! somehow these fags got my address and account number with my ex husband of almost 2 years name on the account? How? I have no clue. He has no access to or knows the account exists. I called and the lady laughed and said that the money would be back in my account in the next four days. I hate stupid people. You may want to have your account monitored for fraudulant charges. Today $34.99 next week $500? Who knows?
There are different websites that you can go on to find peoples info. I was just playing around one day and found one where i could pay $39.99 and find out a persons background and everything. Then i went onto another website posted by the governement and i could pay $59.99 and become a member for one year then type someones name in and it would give me their social security number, and the government wonders how people get our info!
They got me.I just happen to take a look to see if a check had cleared, then I saw a withdraw of 34.90, then my bike payment was being returned. I call the bank to find out who got my money, the bank gave me the 800-397-5761, I called them, a lady answered the phone. She wasnt nice, but I had to be due to the fact that I needed answers, and it took forever for me to get thru. They were collecting the money for Arch Net which is a adult website who collects a monthly payment. She said she would cxl my order and give me a refund in 2-4 days. She would not answer the questions of how did I make this order, how did they get my account info, yet she had all of my info. This sucks.
I have also been victimized in the amount of 34.99 and when I tried to call the number, the recorded message indicates their website is down. I have no idea how they got my info but I want some answers too. Someone is doing some hacking and I think our banks should be aware of this an investigate/prosecute them for this.
I got charged $29.95 on 11/16/07 by "Market Billing (MK-23) on behalf of Pink Entertainment." This looks like a checking fraud scam because I can access a digital copy of the check with my bank's website, and I definitely never authorized this check. (They also got my address wrong in the check.) I spoke with my bank (Citibank in NY), and they are investigating it. They expected to be able to refund the amount, but they also strongly recommended that I close the account because this entity will still have access to it.
This exact thing happend to me! They used my name on the check but inlcuded an address in Hammond, LA. The check also states they have a oice verification or signiture of mine on file, however no file exists ... very strange. Have you found anything else out?
i also was put in this situation, i closed my account and called the number on the check. the lsady told me the same thing. i was told to have a police report made out. even for 29.99 i hope to press charges on these people. this is a big scam and are probably making thousands of dollars off of inocent people. when i find out what's going to happen i'll let you know. nancy
I had the same mystery $29.95 taken out of my checking account as well. I called the 1800# and talk to the lady and she said it wasn't her and to report it to the FBI. So I did. Don't know what will happen but this has happen twice now to me.
I ditto EVERY THING said in the previous message! My bank account was hit TOO!! I have never and will never subscribe to ANY adult web thingy! I just want to know how and where they got my banking info: certainly not from ME!!
I have six bills i pay online. When I got the statement from my bank accont i noticed that i had been charged 24.99 plus a 20 dollar draft protection ... totaling 40.99. I went to my bank which charged me 2 dollars to view the withdrawl but said theyd refund me if it wasnt me. I got the 1800 number which was busy for about 10 minutes. I finally got through to a lady who said shed refund my account in 2 to 4 days. As soon as I get the refund I am closing my account ... has anyone figured out how they get our information???
We were hit with a $29.99 charge to. I talk to a rep named James and Melissa. They hung up the phone. How they got our bank account numbers? they said they word for TelaMedia. James said they don't have direct number for them. Something is really wrong with this picture. Some how this needs to be taken to a higher source.
Hello Savoy, that 800-397-5761 also got my account info and charged me $29.99, I can't get in touch with them, the line is always busy. Do you have any info to help me? I don't know who to report them to. idylwoodlm@aol.com
Keep trying and another # is 800 409-7803 they bill for a third party adult entertainment company called Black Rose. Hope this helped and I hope someone stops this.
Hi, I was also scammed on December 23, 2008 just last week. The number has changed evidently for this year 1-800-532-4801. The CSR lady said last week that she was in Buffalo, NY but the address was in Nicosia, Cyprus and I had ordered a Porn Wedsite...I DID NOT...I told her. She said that alot of Paypay and Mary Kay sites had been compromised and hundreds of people had been calling and complaining this month. She said I would ne refunded the $24.99, but I am not holding my breath. My bank is mailing me a form to fill out since I had moved 2 years ago and had left some money in this account (plan on closing it though once I get my refund). I wish the FBI or someone would take these crooks on and get rid of them. It seems from all the blogs that it has been going on for at least 2 years. Good luck everyone on your refunds. Happy New Year all!!
I had the same thing happen to me today. I called them and they said that they were representing Tel Media...They had the same schpiel about an automatic 2-4 day refund.
My checking just got hit with 29.99 by Click Media on 1/7. Exact same story as you all. Looking for refund in 2-4 days. How much longer will these thieves keep doing this?
They are still at it and thank you. I called the 800 397-5761 and got an oerator 056 who said they would refund my $29.90. Its an adult entertainment company. They refused to give me the number for these clowns! BEWARE AND WATCH YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS
I just got scammed too! I shut down my checking account but I did actually get through to the 800#. They actually gave me a credit but no other information! Amount - $24.99. Only four companies have this particular checking account number and I have never used it electronically! Now I am worried about any and all kinds (of my) accounts!
To Mike and all...... I also was charge $34.95 by m-billingsupport.com for Adult Braodcasting some Porn site. m-support # is 800-397-5761 or 800-409-7803. They said I can expect refund to checking acct. in 2-4 days. This needs to be reported to Postal Inspectors, FBI, State Attorney General and local law enforcement My bank told me that since my account was compromised, I needed to close it out. If I didn't then further charges would not be resolved by the bank. My question is, if they got my info once, what keeps them from getting it again from the same sourse who provided it the first time?
I saw a similar charge today except it was for Intermedia Sol for 34.95. I have both a swiftpay and paypal account. Called the number and got a busy signal. Best thing to do is use a credit card for online purchases.
They also got me this week with a 29.95 charge on my checking account. I( called the phone number, talked to James and he said he would put the money back in my account. It's scary they are able to do this. He said he was billing for Rino Systems. This is Real Bull Sh-- that they can do this.
i use regions bank and i got the same 34 dollor charge, they have refunded me and i'm closeing my account, what i read in the reviews is that quite a few of us use paypal i think that is the link here to this i will never use paypal agine
Same thing happened to me during the month of Feb. A charge of 29.95 from Rino-Systems. Although when I called the 1-800 number to complain they refunded the money and deleted my name from their system, they were unable to give me any information regarding the company or what the charge was for and referred me to my bank for this information.
I just looked at my checking acct and the same thing happened,a charge of 29.99 was debited frm the checking acct around the middle of Feb. when i called the 800 nbr a rep from Market Billing said that thy would return the money within 2-4 days, and that they were the go between for third party companies.In this case all the companies are adult entertainment sites with all different names, in my case it was called DFBN systems.
The big question is how are these people getting the acct numbers from our checking accts......If anyone has any idea, pls let me know...thx
I just had the same thing happen - bank gave me the 800# and I hopefully, have been refunded the $29.95. What's amazing is that there are so many - back as far as last year - why is this still happening?
GO ON WWW.IC3.gov which is the FBI website for internet fraud and list a complaint,other than that,if it is past 60 days you are screwed,rotten bastards
I've had the same thing happen to me twice this year with marketbilling. First they billed me for software I didn't download and now they've hit me again for whatever rino systems is. I'll probably have to close my bank account to keep these people from stealing from me and racking up service charges.
I noticed in our company bank account that we had a weird check for 29.95. This was for Tel Media. I tried to call for 2 days and the message said the phone system was down. I emailed and got an immediate response that the charge was for an adult website and that they would delete my information so that there would be no more charges. I also would like to know how they got our banking information.
I got hit with the $34.99 charge to my checking account on March 21. I saw it on March 25 because it caused my checking account to be overdrawn. I called the 800# and they said it was for market billing for CCC network which is an adult website. The guy said they would refund my money in 2-4 days. I even emailed them about it and I got the same response. I went to the bank and they are watching my account. They took off the NSF charges...thank goodness! I hadn't received a refund as of today so I called the 800# again and a really nice lady said that their computers had been and that's why they haven't refunded mine yet. She said she would expedite it. I hope this is true. Anyway still waiting on my refund...I will update this when I get my refund...hopefully soon.
This happened to me, too. $34.95, Adult Broadcast, same 800 number, same story about a refund. My bank is Washington Mutual. Just out of curiosity, how many other WAMU customers on this list have been victimized this way?
Following up: Today I got an email from m-billingsupport, the company that is facilitating this scam. Here it is:
Dear customer,
We have cancelled the subscription. Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to process your refund request due to unexpected technical problems we are experiencing. We strongly suggest you contact your bank and dispute the charge in order to get your funds back.
Regards, Support Team Email: support@m-billingsupport.com Toll-free: 800-397-5761/800-409-7803
If they tell me they can't process the refund, I'll have to file an Affidavit of Forgery with my bank against them. They need to be held responsible. They should not process anychecks without verifying the information. The address used on the check doesn't even exist.
