I was fraudulently charged for a prepaid **** phone over the last three months before I discovered it at $50.08 each month When I called in today, of course I got somebody in ******** and I called in eight times within 20 minutes because they kept paying up on me. Or they would transfer me to a department where I would have to enter a phone number, but remember I dont have an account with them, so I was finally able to get the department. The stupid c**** rudely hung up on me. For these reasons alone, thats why racism and discrimination exist Because these fat f*** in *******, who are making billions of dollars off of us are too cheap to pay minimum wage so they go to f****** **** and ***** and pay these dumb f*** one dollar an hour. Theyre uneducated and their English ***** and theyre not allowed to think all they can do is read off of a scriptBusiness response

This company continues to charge $30.86 to my **************** account claiming that it is for my **** prepaid phone account. It happened on 8/6/24 and 9/6/24. I have never used my Amex account to pay my bill. I have disputed this charge twice now. Looking at their website I found that although they have an Oregon address they are not a US company.Business response

Hello!Some time ago (about two years to be more precise) I purchased **** prepaid *** cards for use in my data equipment.It so happened that the equipment was completely destroyed, along with the *** cards, and has not been used for more than a year.However, I only recently discovered that my account continues to be charged for unused numbers.Okay, I didn't strictly control payments while the equipment and *** cards were in use (and that's my fault), but now I have a problem: I can't log in to cancel and/or stop illegal payments (because VESTA doesn't recognize there is no other way to do this other than logging in from a registered number), and VESTA continues to take money from me as if nothing had happened.I want to immediately stop payments for the numbers ************ and ************ because the *** cards for these numbers have been destroyed and cannot be used.Business response

On August 26th 2023 I was checking my nightly Dasher Direct by PayFare account for *********** and corresponding text notifications that are sent to my phone immediately when a transaction occurs and noticed my account balance was lower than it should've been. Whenever I reviewed my transaction history I seen a Transaction that I wasn't notified of and didn't initiate nor approved of. It is listed as VESTA PREPAID and was for the amount of -$25.00 in the transaction details it only has a category listed as "Web" no contact, reference id or anything to identify the website/business.It looked familiar to what our Cell phone service charges are listed as so I looked at how they're listed. The VESTA name stuck out to me so upon looking at past transactions our ************ is listed as "VESTA ***** PREPAID" and is set to autopay monthly and always supposed to be for the amount of $53.73.Over the last 4 months that has varied and caused issues between us and ***** I then tried to call **** but they no longer take calls over the weekend and have 1+ hours wait times to speak to a Representative so I drove to the **** retail store and they reviewed my account transactions and compared it to the newest Unauthorized withdrawal from VESTA PREPAID and told me it wasn't done by **** cause theirs Always supposed to be listed as VESTA ***** PREPAID and it doesn't appear anywhere in my **** Account History or Payment transactions such but I did point out to them that February through July 2023 it just was listed as **** and the charged amount went up with out notification and without me noticingwhich they then respond by telling me I would have to call **** PREPAID **************** line to discuss that. I then withdrew or transfered all the remaining money from and Lock my Dasher Direct Account, cancel my card, pay $5.00 replacement fee for the new card and file a dispute with Dasher Direct that can take up to 6 mo to possibly get my money back from whoever "VESTA PREPAID" is.Business response
