866-200-5473

i didn't recieve any phone calls from them, but i was charged $72 for god knows what. it was labeled "A1 member." the bank gave me this number to contact. They had recieved my account number through GOOGLE.

I didn't receive a phone call either...but i had the same thing happen to me. but I was charged $91 for no reason.. and it was also labelled A1 Member. Apparently they received my account info thru Google as well.

Same thing. I was charged $ 101.27 by A1 member for no reaseon.

I got this charge from my bank of 72.96 for no reason???  I would like to find out who is getting this info and how???

I received the same thing today, if anyone finds out any information please let me know.

i also recieved a charge from A1 member on my account for $38.34 and it put a hold on my account for $200.00. if anyone has any information please fill me in

I seen an ad online from google to make money and paid $1.95 with my
credit card, google charged me &72.95 to my debit card and sent me nothing in the mail as promised. I then called google to cancel it and they did. before i knew it they had sold it some other company like A1.
A1 then charged me 38.34, I called their number and  all I got was a recorded message. I called my bank to dispute those charges.The bsnk refunded my money and i canceled my card so no other weird charges would pop up unexpectly.My bsnk now is issuing me a new card. So people if you had the same problem, call your bank to dispute the charges and have them issue you a new card. if you dont, there will be more charges from other weird companies taking your hard earned money. I learned my lesson, these are scammers trying to gey your hard earned money!!!!!!

call this number and tell them to refund your money. 8772086490. same thing happened to with A1 member.

Same thing just happened to me.  My bank account was charged $72.96 by A1 Member, have no idea who or what this is.  Had to shut down my card.

If you find out who they are and how to find them, maybe we can file a class action suit against them for damages.  I will be trying to find out myself and will post a blog.

They charge my account $79.95 for no reason. How can we find those guys.

NO PHONE CALL EITHER, JUST CHARGED $38.34 FROM A 1 THEY ALSO GO BY STORE MY REWARDS AND I WAS CHARGED $72.96.  I CALLED BOTH NUMBERS AND THE AND GOT NO SATISFACTION, ONLY A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS, THEY EVEN HAD ENOUGH NERVE TO ASK ME FOR MORE INFORMATION WHICH I REFUSED, I FILED A COMPLAINT AT THE BANK TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND CANCELLED THE CARD THEY ARE USING.  SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THESE PEOPLE NOW!!!!!!

I also recieved a statement that A1 had took money out of my acount twice once for 72.96 and then for  74.96.I tried to recolve this with the number that was listd but I was put on hold never could get through then I tried to resolve it with my bank and was told there was nothing they could do cause the money amount was on hold then they give me the number I already called that I couldt get through to I dont know what to do anybody have any sugestiounes

I did not recieve a call but they have took money from out of my account using the name a 1 members but I have never heard of them. I don't even know what type of company this is.

After doing some research, I found that this company is suppose to have something to do with some kind of grants. So please be careful.

I got charged too for $38.34. I suspect this company is called iplanfinancial.com because I received a mail from them saying they will bill my card about 20 days ago. I don't know how they got my card details and mail address. Immediately I called and canceled an account with them I never had and thought I was done with this.

Turns out they charged me. Just called dispute claims at Chase and reported it. The bank gives you credit immediately pending investigation. You have to fill out a form and fax it to Chase.

I did not get a call either, but my debit card was charged for 72.96 by A1 member today with that number as a reference.  I called PayPal and the issue is being resolved as a fraudulent transaction.
It will of course take several days to complete.
Mine debit also had listed a "foreign transaction fee' of .78 cents.
This scam must be coming from oversees somewhere, but I don't know what to do at this point and since my card was only a few days old, how are they getting it??

Well being the way the economy is today, im scraping for every dime i can. I was going to go take a friend out to crack donalds (mcdonalds), so when i checked my account online to make sure i could spend the outrageous 5.50 on a big mac meal i found this.

Yes, for all you internet phobes, that is a direct copy from my online bank statement. so being the geek that i am, i looked up on yahoo, the phone number that you see above and got this site. so in response to a couple of the posts on here....

Janc  this is another copy from my statement, as you can see janc i too see that Foreign Transaction. Essex GB is Essex Great Britain. 04/20/2009 6:17:26 AM  EFT POS Debit BENEFIT TODAY ESSEX GB -$1.97 X

I know that the economy is crappy right now, and i know that we all want to be able to provide for ourselves and families, but people please dont put ideas or dreams of grandure ahead of your good judgement.

I, too, was charged $77.82 on my debit card by this A1 Member, I haven't received anything from them/him/her and am trying to get the money back. I purchased an eye cream sample off a Google advertiser, which I did receive, and was billed for that the day before this charge came through. I'm just sick about this and hope I can rectify it.

for all of those who posted here, i had the same thing happen to me. i know my post is a little long winded, but if you want to fix your problem it's worth the read.  

i mistakenly signed up to receive some grant CD-rom and a few weeks later ended up with two bogus charges on my credit statement. on for the amount of $38.34, the other for $72.96. both we listed as being from "A1 MEMBER 866-200-5473 GB". after searching through my computer's history i thankfully found the websites responsible. the smaller and more successful was a charge from Iplanfinancial.com, which was an "additional" bonus membership. in the fine print their number was listed as 888-247-3851, but i had no luck with that number, instead i was able to reach them at 888-248-9285. the woman i spoke to was very kind to me. she helped me cancel so i would have no future charges and was able to refund the charge of $38.34 to me.  i had a charge for $72.96 which came from a place called blazingkeywords.com or sometimes freshkeywordideas.com. the phone number to cancel and ask for a refund is 877-208-6571. unfortunately, while i was able to cancel to avoid future charges, i was not able to get a refund (because i was past the 7-day free trial). instead i was directed to send a letter and a copy of my bank statement (to verify the charges) to the following address: 224 S. Main St #218 / Springville, UT 84663.

the horrible thing about all this is that i didn't sign up for either of these "services". if you're looking for grants and other ways to make money because of the horrible economy, make sure to read all the fine print. they usually hide it away, and then you get stuck paying for services you don't even know about and can't find to cancel.

i hope this helps all of you who posted previously. god bless.

This is amazing to find all these *recent* replies on the topic. Well, add my name to the list too. I always have a problem not yelling at these people but I held back on this one.

*6 DAYS AGO*
As soon as I saw the $72.96 charge hit my account I googled the 800 number and found this page. I immediately called the 800 number to cancel. The first rep hung up on me after 15 minutes of spirited, intellectual debate about business ethics. Frustrated, I called my bank, canceled the debit card, and told 'em the charge was invalid. Charge disappeared a few days later.

*TODAY*
The charge reappears on my statement, this time with no identifying information. It was simply labeled ATM/CHECK CARD PURCHASE... I had to google "$72.96 credit card" to even find this page again. I called the number again and they told me my 7 day trial period had expired, and I [LOUDLY] explained I'd called before, and that when I googled their "customer service" number all I found were complaints of fraud. Another short spirited debate. After 5 mins on hold he says he canceled the account, refunded me the money, and then he provided me a cancellation confirmation number.

I think this was some crap make-money-at-home CD I ordered for 2 bucks in a moment of weakness. I shoulda known better :(
