- BeWarnedThis is a scam company calling themselves Inquire Financial. They do not need to call you. They get your Credit/Debit card details from a purchase of a kit supposedly showing you how to make good money from posting Google links on websites. The kit costs only $1.97 but is never received.
They use your details to make unauthorised withdrawals from your account usually $72.71. They also appear to have the following identities which also steal money from your account :-
Daily Grant 877-208-5903 (Usual theft $38.34)
Credit-4-Me 888-204-5967 (Usual theft $29.90)
Online-Search-Help (AKA Blazingkeywords.com) (Usual theft ALSO $72.71)
The scam is not restricted to the USA - I have been scammed by all four
companies whilst resident in the United Kingdom.
While this is the first post on this site against this phone number, a check using the other phone numbers above shows a string of people who have all been scammed for exactly the amounts I have detailed.
What to do - Notify your bank / credit union immediately you notice any of these transactions on your account and ask for an investigation as you have not authorised the withdrawal(s). Please do so ASAP even if you have let several transactions slip through because you did not realise what was happening - and PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE do not be embarrased to acknowledge you've been caught out by this scheme - you are far from being the only one.
You must also notify your bank to immediately cancel your card and issue a new one. (Ensure you draw sufficient funds first to see you through for
a week or so while this takes place).
Finally, do not give your details in future in response to ads for home-working schemes.
Please circulate this info as widely as possible by blogs, e-mail etc.
We must beat these scumbags. - BeWarnedPS to my previous post.
It has been suggested by posters against the other phone numbers that these scams may be operated from outwith the USA with the US 888 / 877 numbers using a call-divert system. Anyone in the telecomms field care to check this out? It's not viable for me to do so as these numbers are not
toll-free from here in the United Kingdom. Just be wary in case they're diverted to a premium service!
