8005870332

I had 298 dollars taken out my checking account to,by MedBenefits,and I did not have enough to cover that 298 dollars, so now I have an overdraft fee.and I want my money back

I also had $298. taken from my account.  I did not authorize this and put a stop payment on them,  however the bank went ahead and let it go through and then charged me for overdrafts.  I want my money back too!  I called the 800 nomuber that was listed and the lady that I talked to, at first said yes it was Medbenefits and then said "oh no" we aren't and told me to call 888-416-8615 so I called and got a voicemail.  I am going to contact the Attorney General and authorities this is fraud.

I just received a notice from my bank that an ach debit was returned for $298, thankfully it was returned.
My bank is opening a fraud case on the matter and refunding the nsf charge and I filed a complaint with the FTC. I did call the 800-587-0332 number given to me from the bank, its a call center that no longer deals with this company because of questionable business practices and to call 888-416-8615. I left a voice mail at this number and somebody called me back, she was glad the charges didn't go through because it takes time to refund the money.

This is a scam they took 298 out of my account on dec 30 then took 298 more out on jan 3 my bank refunded my money and od charges all together it came to over 600 that  they took from me i dont know how they got my bank info

My bank was taken the same amount too and was charged 298.00 by some medbenifits. I'm closing my account. Watch out for who u apply for a payday loan.

I've had $298.00 taken out of my account too by Medbenefits.......have reported this unauthorized transaction to my bank and filed a dispute against this company. The bank is investigating and will return my money and any related fees. We need to have laws in place against scams like these......people are already in dire straits financially and most definitely do not need these kind of criminals attacking our finances.  I also called  800-587-0332 and got put into a voicemail that is full, this is a sure sign of being a "SCAM". Also have had payday loans in the past and wonder if this is somehow related

I just got a pending transaction of money taken from  my account for the same amount of 298 that you mention. Im not sure how they got ahold of my account info. in order to do that. I think to get to the bottom of how this is happening we need to see the factors we all have in common.

I use Sprint
I traveled abroad recently but my service doesn work in central america.
Im currently in Asia but have no used my card here either, however I did receive a text message on my phone Something that had to do with Indonesia and Sprint. I thought it was odd. My phone is not linked to my account.
Im recently renewed my Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance.
I ordered $39 in skincare products over the phone
A few months ago I requested information on a loan and got over 100 replies from different loan companies. I though I was applying to one!
I receive unknown calls all the time.

Im not sure what else it could be but if you have done any of the things I mention it could be a clue to where this is coming from.

Omfg this is all ridiculous the same thing happened to me and the sad part is im a single mom and just temporarily got laid off!! i only had 2 dollars in my account the last i checked and yesterday i checked my card balance to find i have over tree hundred in the negative in my account!! This is definently a fraud plus i never got a call or message!!!

Money was taken off my account and I was charged overdraft fees.  I want this mess to stop.

The same thing happened to me. I was told if you had signed up for any payday loans lately these companies share info with other companies. Some where along the way one of the companies pops in and charges the account.

The bank will reverse the charge and the fees if u call and let them know it was unauthorized but, there going to ask you to close the account and open a new one for your protection.

Yea the loan company i used was fourseasonscash. I guess there not a good one to use.

Same thing happened to my 91 year old father in law.  I'm sure he never applied for a payday loan though.  He's had multiple withdrawals from different companies on his checking account for amounts from $270 to $398.  These crooks have cleaned him out.  We've closed out his account and are working with the bank to try and get money back. He was getting harrasing phone calls a few months ago from some guy who told him he won a sweepstakes but needed him to send $500.  We told him it was a scam and he said he didn't give the guy any information but now we're not so sure.

I noticed about 10 days weeks ago that "Medbenefits" debited $298 from my account a couple weeks prior. I immediately called my bank (Wachovia) who informed me that since it was an "Automated Debit", It would take up to 10 days from when they file the claim, for me to receive a provisional credit. They also game me the number that was attached to the charge. I was told the same story that they no longer deal with this MedBenefits company, but was given another number to call. After some wild goose chasing, I got a number of 888-416-8615. I called and spoke to a woman named "Marissa" who was pleasant, but far from professional. She said her company "TMJ ( Trade Merchants Joined Fulfillment ) must have made an "error" and entered the wrong info (mine) during a legitimate transaction for a real customer. She also used words such as "[***]" when referencing her sympathy for the "[***] i was dealing with due to this". She said my money would be refunded along with any overdraft fees this transaction caused (which is unheard of) withing 12-14 days. After me telling her that was unacceptable, she said 3-7 days was the best she could offer. Well, today I called again. 7 days later and spoke to Marissa again. She said it could until Feb 4th for my money to be refunded. I told her that unless this was refunded immediately, I would be filing fraud charges against the company and any other involved. She said "I understand your bitching"......and that She would speak to the people "upstairs" and if I called her tomorrow morning at 9 am, she would have a solution for me. So. Thats where I stand. Regardless, I filed a dispute with my bank and intend to contact whoever I need to contact in order to file fraud charges against all companies involved.

This whole thing is just crazy. For the record, that 888 number i posted sounds like a cell phone with an 888 business service. And when I called today at 11 am, it sounded like I woke Marissa up from a little nap at her desk.......or sofa.

On JANUARY 12  2011, I called my bank to get my account balance to find out that there was $298 taken out of my account via telephone which left me with a negative balance; I immediatly advanced money to cover the negative balance or else i would of had three bounced checks returned to me. I immediately called the fraud dept. at my bank and told them that i had never heard of this MEDBENEFITS before and that it was an unauthorized withdrawl. So i filed fraud on January 12, 2011. they told me that it would take ten days before i would be given provisional credit; this medbenifits wiped out my account completely, finally on January 21 2011, i was given provisional credit in the amount of $298. so then on January 28 2011, i asked the bank to give me a statement history of all transactions made in january so that i could see just how badly my account was messed up thanks to MEDBENIFITS plus i wanted some research so it don't happen again and i noticed this 1-800-587-0332 was combined with other numbers. bottom line is so that i don't talk forever is it was 100% FRAUD!!!!.and doing my own research paid off big time!!!!!

Oh my God,
This is absolutely incredible! I thought I was the only one that got scammed by this. Someone apparantly took 298 dollars out of my acct. also, I called the company as well and was told I would get a refund and never did. I filed a compaint with my bank and was told they would investigate. My bank put my 298 dollars back into my acct. only to take it back later saying that they had no evidence and the investigation was for the company and not for me, so I lost my 298 dollars which I need really bad, I cannot afford to have the 298 dollars deducted out of my acct. I am lost, do not know at this point how to get my money back!

I found 800-587-0332 helpful

Wanted to pass this along...I also for the 4th or 5th time had money taken out of my account from MedsBenefits. Just last week they took money filed a dispute with my bank and all was good. Then this week the same so called company (which we know is a scam) did it again. Called the bank again and filed dispute again but this time filed fraud papers against MedsBenefits.
I went online and looked up who had the domain for this company and found all the info. as well as the name who is on this company. I also found out the address and phone number which I called which I think I surprised the guy on the phone he wanted to know how I got the number. He was at a loss for words...told him who I was and what I expected and he said he would take my name off the list and would issue a refund. So which tells me that there is a list and every so offten they go thru it to see who they can hit.
Here are the numbers 514-424-7682 then he gave me another numer if I ever had anymore problems 866-849-8801.
Hope this helps those who have been wronged by this scam.

The numbers you gave were VERY helpful!!!!!!!! Thank you.....

i dont know how they accessed my account but took 69.95 and i contacted my bank immediately they filed a claim disput so im still waiting on the money they said 3-5 business days though my bank im furious they took out worst time possible now i need to to pay a damn biull so im behind. ugh they need to go away They said i consented to a check which I never did and so i got pissed off and im hoping for something to come from it. they never called me i don't do anything like payday loans or anything
