On September 29, 2024, I dialed what I thought was *****-*******, regarding missing items from my delivery order. The person that answered the phone had a strong foreign accent and asked me how could he help me, or something along those lines. I told him that I was told by my local ******* to call regarding my missing items. He proceeded to ask for my name, order number, debit card number, expiration date, cvv, address, phone number, and if I lived in a house. I keep saying wait a minute, what does all of this information have to do with my missing items, the *** kept saying ma'am I need this information in order to help you. I kept asking is this *******? I said why did you need all of that information, you have never asked this before. He never once told me that he was not a *** for *******. He told me that he had to transfer me to another department, so they could resolve the issue. While I was waiting to be transferred, I called 1800walmart from another phone and actually got ******* that time. I still had these scammers on my other phone. When the other department came on the line, I told the man on the line to delete my information. I told him that I have asked several times if this was ******* and never got a response, he just proceeded to say, ma'am I have your reference number. I began yelling and cursed at him, because he was totally dismissing everything I asking. He said ma'am we are on a recorded line, and we can't have that language. I said, great since we are on a recorded line, it should have recorded ** asking you numerous times if this was *******, and telling you to delete all of my information from your system. He hung up on me. I immediately called my bank and ***orted the fraud. I canceled my debit card, and removed all funds from my account. I later checked my account and realized they had already deducted $4.95 from my account before I had removed my funds from my account. I called my bank back and filed a claim to dispute charge.Business response

Hello,
We have reviewed the complaint regarding ID ******** and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Financial Experts on Demand is a program that was offered separately during an inbound sales call, including Terms and Conditions, on September 29, 2024. There are no records of the customer contacting our customer service department to inquire about the program or charges. However, the customer contacted their bank on 10/7/24 in which a rapid dispute resolution was submitted, at which time the account was cancelled and the $4.95 charge was returned back to the card on file. There are no other charges made to this account.Thank you.

On June 7th 2024 "USFund.org" charged me $34.95 on my credit card without my acknowledgement or authorization. When i tried to call the number on my statement to get the money back they charged me a "MVQ*Your ID Solution" charge of $3.95 about a week later when I tried to resolve it with them. Fraudulent charges occurring from both organizations under one umbrella I believe. Then I talked to my bank about all of this and they issued me a new card and shut the other one down immediately. I also went on online and emailed the company that there would be reproccussions if they didn't give me my money back. So far, I haven't gotten anything back from them on the 2 charges I didn't authorization. I filled out a complaint with the BBB, and I'm going to file one Federally internet/fraud as well.Initial Complaint

SI Financial Experts on Demand submitted an initial $4.95 charge to my credit card on August 12, 2023 and 4 subsequent charges of $59.95, each, to the same card, on each of August 26, September 25, October 25 and November 24, 2023.I neither authorized, nor received any services for these charges. I never received any email or written communications concerning these charges or the services with which they were, supposedly, associated. Total funds charged by "SI Financial Experts on Demand" were $244.75.Another orginization, represented as "MVQ Your ID Solution" on my credit card statement engaged in an identical practice, charging the same credit card $3.95 on August 9 and then $21.95 on each of August 26, September 26, October 26 and November 26. Total funds charged by "MVQ Your ID Solution" were $91.75.Fraudulent charges occurring from both organizations cannot be coincidental, and they constitute elder abuse, in that they were charged to an 87-year-old woman.Initial Complaint

I have unwittingly been charged $59.95 a month all year for some subscription I never signed up for. They tell me it is a debt counselling service, I don't have any debts so I would never sign up for such a service, Moreover they have never provided any service. Actually I avoid subscribing to anything because of the immortal aspect of many subscriptions.Business response

I called a number for ************* Services to have a code sent to my car this morning. The number was listed on the back of my remote for the **** ************. I explained I was trying to reach Pass Time and that I needed a code sent to unlock my car. The gentleman told me that he needed my credit card info to verify it was me, they were not going to charge me. Turns out they have nothing to do with Pass Time and tried to charge $4.95 to my account. He never once said he was not with Pass Time, nor did he ever advise he could not send the code to my car, he said he would do so as soon as all the verification was done.Business response
