They've done the same thing to my account twice! I've called 4 times, they hung up on me the first time and the last three times they refused to give me any information. They rather give a refund than to tell me who authorized them to charge my account. Check with your bank to sign a forgery affidavit they'll file a civil suit against them for you...I tried to warn them.
This also just happened to my checking account. Never would have noticed if it wasn't for checking the online statement. 34.99 with a number to call and it says MB Image World on the check with a number to call and a reference number.
Just happened to me too.. they said a "networking" site.. UGH.. I hate this crap! Do they have a website??? they gave me a customer service email to send a complaint to. I like the plan of a civil action against them.
I was also scammed for $34.95. When I first called the girl told me I was lucky because it was within 30 days and I would get a full refund. Refund heck I never ordered anything. I asked how this could happen and she was flippant about it as if it happened everyday. I guess it does. I had to cancel the accout, get new checks. What a hassle. Now the bank says I have to fill out a police report and bring it in and they MAY refund me.
Crime Buster I tried the number quite a few times too. Ringing now disconncected. The information I got from my bank I never heard of these people or company and never singed or ordered nothing from them. I like your idea to file the forgery affidavit with the bank. I want these people cought and charged. Is this working for you with the bank I plan to call in the morning after finally finding this info here
I got hit by these scammers too. They issued a fraudlent check just like other have reported. "Frankie" and MBilling promised to refund the money; I'll have to wait and see. The only address he would give me was a location in Cyrpress and an email address for their support team.
I can't tell if the fraud is from MBilling or somebody using them.
I use a smaller, regional bank. The fraudsters appear to be hitting anyone they can get data on.
I got scammed also, but I haven't received any refund and it has been 6 weeks. I call every few days and sometime the phone rings so many times, I get kicked off. Then, when I do get through, I get the same thing. I finally asked them if they are who they say they are and I get "we are a third party biller" I told them to prove it. They can't. Go figure. I will have to change my account and yes it is a pain. I am glad you got your refund
Happened to me to .. I live in Jersey and NEVER use my checking account number for anything other than direct deposit from work and the IRS. The ONLY thing I can think of is I did fill out a coupon from FreeGas where I had to send them a check - they could have gotten the info from that. Other than that I think all the checks I have written have gone to reputable companies.
There is always a chance that a data entry clerk at some big company is stealing the info from checks and selling it to these folks. How many people do you think Don't notice?
The good news is that my credit union is going to dispute it for me. Since I didn't sign the check - its not authorized. Just have to fill out a form and send it back. I should get credited in 2-3 days which beats the 2-3 weeks that this bogus company offers!
I found out that these people like to get hold of new accounts or seldom used accounts, although one acquaintance had her active business account hit. No one is safe and nothing is sacred anymore.
I was told that M Billing is headquartered in Cypress (near Greece). First I was holding for a supervisor then I was hung up on. On the next call I was told there was no supervisor, but if I gave them my account number they would be able to look up the charge. They would not tell me where in the US the call center was located and that I could either continue to babble or give them my account number to clear up the situation. If we can find them we could contact the D.A. in their area to investigate.
I just opened my statement from December and also had an unauthorized transaction from my account. Same thing everyone reported above. The amount was for $39.99 from IS Subscriptions. When I called my bank, they were unable to verify the company. When I called the phone number from the bank statement, the number no longer exists. It was recommended by my bank to close this account immediately.
I don't feel so bad now...I just caught my bogus billing for $24.95 from MB Image World today... my bank sent me the copy of the electronic check and the 1st depositor was CG Bank of Wellsville, Ohio. They were very nice but had never heard of MB Image World so they asked my bank to mail them an "unathorized" form and they are to follow up...what a scam-I bet they made millions and nothing has been done about it!!! Let me know if you get any new info. Thanks!!
