alienforce UPDATE
5 Dec 2007
Filed fraud charges with the FTC (not that it will do much good since they don't respond to individual complaints only patterns) Closed my checking account and opened a new one. The bank was very helpful and reversed the charges. Surprisingly, I checked my account today and found a credit of $29.99 (4 cents more than what they took out - big whoopdee-doop) from a "Berman Media" another fake name. The posts here from these so called 'Call Center' people are absolute bu***hit and rubbish. No legit company operates in the manner they describe!!!! Furthermore, this message board and others must be monitored or screened from time to time by law enforcement or other govt agencies. Why has no one tracked down these scum and incarcerated anyone?
Market billing was hired by these companies to clean up the mess...that's the truth. Market billing isn't responsible. They handle accounts for all different companies...these calls for fraud just came up in the past two months. I've been working there longer than that.
The truth is that Market Billing is the company that the all checks are made out to, so they are responsible. Their the ones receiving the money. Market Billing is the company that all the others have in common. You might want to find another job, preferable one that's legit.
I'd have to agree. If Market Billing was hired after the fact then their company name wouldn't be on the drafts which are the cause of theft. I'm not saying Market Billing is necessarily responsible for the charges, they could just be a collection agency acting on someone else's behalf, but either way they were involved from the beginning.
I also think it's strange that whoever created the draft (again, I'm not saying it's necessarily Market Billing) would print it with a phone number that is used only to issue refunds. I would think they would have the call go somewhere that could explain the charge and why it was (supposedly) authorized. After all, if I was a legitimate company I would try to keep the money for services rendered.
YOU NEED TO START SAYING MARKET BILLING IS RESPONSIBLE, IF THEY ARE SO KIND AND CHARITABLE, WHY WON'T THEY RELEASE WHERE THEY ARE SO INVESTIGATORS CAN BEGIN WORKING WITH THEM TO PUT A STOP TO THIS. MARKET BILLING IS NOT REFUNDING OUR MONEY. OUR BANK IS STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU, YOU HAD BETTER RETURN OUR STOLEN MONEY MARKET BILLING - THIS IS FRAUDULENT AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE MARKET BILLING IS CONCEALING INFORMATION SO EVIDENTIARY INFORMATION GATHERING CANNOT TAKE PLACE.
AND ANOTHER THING, THEY DID NOT TRY TO REFUND OUR MONEY THEY STOLE DIRECTLY FROM OUR ACCOUNT, BUT SENT US TO THAT BILLING WEBSITE AND GAVE US THE BRUSH OFF TO THE MEDITERRANIAN ISLANDS. THEY ARE STEALING MONEY AND YOU NEED TO WAKE UP, THEY ARE NOT AN INNOCENT PARTY IN ANY OF THIS.
MARKET BILLING, YOU ARE LYING, YOU ARE GETTING THE CASH, THE BANK ELECTRONIC TRANSFER IS THE EVIDENCE AND YOU WILL BE CAUGHT.
YOU'RE UPSETTING EVERYONE WITH YOUR FORGERY AND PURELY YOU ARE A GREEDY THEIF CAUSING PEOPLE GRIEF. I HOPE EVERYONE OF YOU GO TO JAIL WHERE YOU BELONG - AND FOR A LONG TIME SO YOU CAN'T HURT ANYONE ELSE!
24.95 was charged on my checking account by mbilling on behalf of EMH entertainment.It was refunded to me last week.I still would like to know how they got my account number
Well, if the FTC doesn't respond to individual complaints, but only patterns, then let's make a pattern they can't help but notice! I want everybody who has had bogus charges on their accounts to fill out complaint forms on these websites:
If I don't get my $24.99 refunded this week, I'm going to the media. I was going to send a tip to Wired News and others, but I decided to wait for the refund to actually appear. But hell, I might just put out a few news tips anyway! Especially if PayPal seems to be the common denominator (I'd used PayPal on Nov. 13, 10 days before that damn bogus charge appeared! Hmm...)
I'm really beginning to think that their isn't just one common denominator. I don't have a paypal account, never bought cigarettes online, don't gamble online. The only common thing that I have had with anyone so far in the board is the fact that I have an account with Bank of America (credit card).
I agree lets take it to the media. We need to make a example out of this company,just in case some other company wants to try to take money from our hard working citzens.
Very good, You seem to be one of very few that has a clue. I applaud you however paypal has nothing to do with it. Nor does Network Solutions... NetSOL is the oldest Internet naming registrar on the planet in fact the first one ever. You might know them as InterNIC. They basically register the names of websites. m-billing was removed for some reason but it looks like this was a holiday hit. The Date range seems to start from oct 25th to today. I am going to post a more detailed response here shortly, but I wanted to commend you for doing your homework.
One last thing with respect to paypal YOU can sign up to get a RSA KeyFOB. a Key FOB is basically a computer that works with ebay,paypal for 5 bucks 1 time fee... and it randomly generates a password for you every 60 seconds. This LOCKS the account into a state where no one not even RSA or an ADMIN can get into your account without physically being in the Data Center where paypal/ebay live or having your keyFOB in their hands.
Once you have one of these you can sleep easy knowing your account is now truly uncrackable.
I don't use pay pal and it happened to me. I did pay with an e-check for a dating site and Pogo games.........hope this helps anyone. To these people on here that this happened, how many of you used an e-check for purchases online or Credit/Debit cards??? That's the ONLY way i can think of anyone getting my info. If it is as easy as getting an account # off my e-check, then what keeps anyone from writing it down and using it when you give them a check in person??? ummmmm Please give me info. Thanks. And God help whoever is doing this horrible crime!!!!
no call, but $29.99 taken out of my account. I use paypal with a credit card, not a checking account...I only ordered two things using my debit card info...Aqua Dots...and FTD flowers...called for a refund on 12/4...lets hope!
If you have had money taken from your checking account please visit www.ic3.gov and file a report with the Internet Crime Complaint Center. This "scam" has affected many people all over the US. Here are some of the names appearing on the checks as well as other 800 numbers used.

What!?!?! I cannot belive that so many ppl are having the same problem.My bank told me of a 24.99 being charged and that my other check was going to bounce. I WAS like WTF!! It's crazy how ppl just get ur info out of nowhere. Actually, to come to think of it the only ppl i had ever given my account information to was a Collection Agency, named Pinnacle Finacle, based out of Minnesota. I wonder......
