Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Approximately 2 weeks ago I had been contacted by a young man named "Max Johnson" for Unified Services informing me that I had won a $1000 internet Shopping Spree and a vacation. I was hassled for some time about me giving them my check account number and that they could NOT go over the amount of $1.95 for shipping and Handling of the packet explaining my benefits and a CD for a trial if Internet and some fat burning pills. I told them I DID NOT want them but they insisted saying it was only a trial and I WAS NOT OBLIGATED to purchase. I kept insisting I would send a money order but "Max" promised me "We cannot make the check out for ANYMORE than $1.95, not a PENNY more". LIE!

Now, last Thursday, I find a check had come thru for $149.80 made out to "Unified Services". I immediately CANCELED my account (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SINCE THERE IS NO STOPPING THEM FROM DOING THIS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, REMEMBER, THEY HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER!).

Then, I was able to find another customer service number [protected]) and asked to speak to the manager. This guy named Derek ID#60 (he would not give his last name) and proceeded to rim him good for this Thievery! He said I had to fax a letter to the Refund Dept. I said "The REFUND DEPT. I did NOT BUY ANYTHING! I demanded they return my money! I am still waiting to hear from them, and I WILL NOT LET THIS GO! I refuse to be robbed by these thieves and we all must band together against them! My next step is the BBB and the News stations in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. They have messed with the wrong guy!

This " Unified Services" company called me the same way today. The guy's name is James Martin. He has indian accent. He has my home address and cell phone number (I don't know how they got the information). First he informed me this $1000 thing. Then he asked my date of birth. I refused to tell him. He explained that they need to make sure I am over 18. Then he asked for my bank information. He gave the reason is that they need to make sure I pay my bills on time and have good credit history. I said No to him. Then he asked me whether I can tell him the initial ID on my checkbook. I told him I don't have my checkbook with me. Then he asked me for my home phone number and he said he will contact me when I get home. He also emphasized that he needs to know my bank information today or tomorrow to authorize the next step process. I said No again. Anyway, he tried to call me with some my neighborhoods local phone number in the evening again. When I picked up the phone, it's him again. I told him I am busy right now. He said he'll call 10 minutes later. Then I never pick up my phone any more. I have to say they are very persistent. I did not answer his phones. Hopefully they will give up. They are stupid and crazy!

I was hit by this monster. Luckily I only had the $1.95 in this account and not the $149.80 they tried to get. It cost me $12.00 NSF fee and I had to take off work to go downtown to close that account and I have to take off work tomorrow to go back down town to take papers back to the bank. I am interested in filing class action if anyone gets started if not let me know and I will talk with the attorney in my office that does this type of case. I should have known better but was just not with it the day I gave in to them. Crazy I guess...

For several months this company has been trying to get ahold of me. With the same script. I've asked where they got my name and they would not answer. Finally today I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and listen to what he had to say. I work in the telemarketing field and know how it feels on his end. I asked how do I know this is not a fraud, several times. And he gave me the same answer every single time. Just reading from a script. He had my address even though I don't have a home phone and only use cell phones. Then he continued to ask for the name of my bank and that he had permission from the BBB to use that information to look up my routing number. When he did he had the wrong number and I was not about to give him the correct one. By this time I had enough and asked nicely to be placed on his Do Not Call list. He quickly said ok and hung up. Then not two minutes later he called back from an unidentified number. Thinking it was one of my friends I answered. He proceeded to tell me my correct routing number. Being a Christian I know how to rely on My God to let me know when something is not right. I did not have His peace and told the guy again to put me on the Do Not Call list. He then started questioning me like he could not believe that I would pass this opportunity up. I asked for a superviser and then the superviser started to argue with me and said they could not put me on a Do Not Call list. Needless to say I'd had enough and hung up

These people are giving honest workers, like me, a bad name!

I was called a few days ago and while getting information to check them out I was "disconnected". I did however remember the name and found this website. Has anyone contacted any agencies to file a complaint? Is it possible to get a class action lawsuit going against Unified Services? These scam artists need to be stopped! I for one be sure to tell everyone I know about them.

I just recently, received another call from this "company", Unified Services. The first time they called I told them to take me off their list and not to call again. Usually that works. But then they called again, and I let them go on with their shpeel. Over and over again I was telling them I was not interested. They were so persistent on me receiving this package that included a $1000.00 online shopping spree and a free vacation of my choice! Simply said anything that is to good to be true...is to good to be true. The guy actually asks me for my account number, so that they can process the shipping fee of the package. Like I am going to give you or anybody my account number without checking you out. What an idiot...then he puts me in contact with his "supervisor", probably the lady next to him trying to scam another US Citizen. Well as she was talking, and I wasn't listening, I looked this so called company up. And low and behold I found this site. This sealed the deal for me...the funny thing is, she actually tried to compare buying a car to me giving her my account number. Well like one of the other complaints said, all these people are middleeastern. I have found out in the past if you tell a company not to call, and take you off their list, they stop and say ok and hang up. But this company is probably located in another country so they do not have to follow those laws. BEWARE! I can see where something like this would be appealing...but if you listen closely, you can hear like a hundred more people in the background...yeah like their giving out a $100,000.00 dollars every hour...stupid people.

wow im right in the same boat as debra. theyve called me like 5 times but only asking for my address and each time ive told them within 1 minute of the convo. that i wasnt interested and to stop calling me. well obviously that hasnt worked. but have any of you realized that most of the people that call claim their name to be john? that just adds the strangeness to the whole situation. Wow, im really glad that i decided to check this company out.

today I got a call from "david" and was given this line about winning $1000 and free trip, for the only one time fee . I asked how I 'won' this trip, as I don't enter anything to win. So I suspected something was up.
He told me the same line as everyone else, it seems, but he also had my home address, which I don't like either. I haven't even been at this address a year yet.

When he wanted my checking acct number, I refused, and he kept trying persistantly , that it was a 'One time fee only' and that I could 'tell the bank exactly how much'...like right...I'm not that naive.

So on and on he went, and I asked if i could just send a check in, but he said no...so I knew it was a scam.

Remember, you never 'win' something for nothing, unless you have entered a drawing that you know of.

It was funny that i decided to run a check on the company over the internet and look what pops up!
ahhaha,

Keep up the good work , people!

I was scammed by unified services. I was told that I had received $12,500.00 from the National Grant Department and that they needed my checking account number to deposit the money. I was then told I would be given three conformation numbers and I could go to the bank the following day and the money would be in my account. 3 days later I was sent trial information from Unified Services and 29.95 was removed from my checking account which caused my account to be over drawn. I attempted to contact all 3 places numerous times only to get an answering machine telling me to call back during regular business hours which I was calling during their supposed business hours with no avail of talking with a human. I contacted my bank and flagged my account and took it down to a bare minimum of $2.00 and asked to be notified of any activity going on with this account. My next step is to go on to the B.B.B. site and file an official complaint. These people need to be stopped and criminally charged for their deception and falsification of their on going scam.

I just got the call from these people. I listened to what they had to say. They know my name but couldn't say it very well. After he asked for my bank name and checking number i told him I do not trust anyone with that kind of information. I'm only 19 and have been hassled by these people. I have put my number on the do not call list. But that has seemed to do nothing. Don't listen to these people (Meaning Unified services) the number they called me on was [protected] The person i talked to was Jonathan B. ( I could not understand His last name) and his ID was 1295. He gave me a customer Service number of [protected]. I will not be answering calls from these people, but if they continue to bother me i will tear them a new a$$. Because I'm tired of this crap.

Our trial offers are of exceptional quality and value. Our long distance program; Call USA is a calling card that can be used from any touchtone telephone. We offer unlimited calling anywhere in the United States and International calling to over 70 countries. Our service is a one-of-a-kind and is offered for only $23.97 a month.

Got a call from someone in India I think. His English was very poor. He ID'd himself as "John Matthews" and Employee #2243. The only thing he was really persistent about was getting my bank routing information which I did not give him. So he tried a different tactic: He called out a routing number and asked me to look at my checkbook and confirm that that routing number was correct. Of course it was not. I just told him I would send the $1.95 as a cashier's check to get the $1,000 shopping spree (to be used on line or ANYWHERE at all - of course that's not possible either). He claimed that the bank information was to "authorize" and be sure that nobody else but me gets the $1,000. I just said I don't have a checkbook, I pay everything by cash, and also nobody who is a legit company would ask for a bank routing number for confirmation. I hung up then. I hope they don't keep calling me.

Oh... and I asked what kind of company is this that they said "is coming to my neighborhood" (the reason for this promotion - he said I was one of just 10 lucky winners - yeah right.) He said that their company is an internet service provider out of Nevada.

I wonder if the telemarketers they are hiring from India really know that they are breaking laws. They sure are PERSISTENT. Someone must have offered them some kind of a kickback. I bet their not even getting that. They're probably being scammed, too.

Asking a company to remove you from their call list will subject them to the FTC regulations about calling for purposes of solicitation. This company is without doubt soliciting these products. If you are listed in the Do Not Call registry you may use the complaint form available at www.donotcall.gov. A complaint may also be filed directly with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov.
Additionally the FTC warns against telemarketers who claim that you have won a prize. Please read http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel17.shtm.

I was concerned when I agreed to this offer and had this feeling it would back-fire on me. However, I did call and cancel the services in the time indicated and did not have any issues with this company at all. I did decide to keep just one of the products offered and am happy with that service and have only been charged for that one product I chose to keep.

I seem to be yet another person with this same issue. A woman from this so-called company called me at work 2 days ago and again today, persistently demanding, for their "promotional give-away," my checking account number and even social security number! When I refused to give it up to them, she gave the phone to another man who actually asked me what he could possibly do with this information. I was like, "Are you crazy? There's plenty that you could do," and I told them where to go with some choice words. And, like Chad above, I also found it interesting that they are obviously quite Indian, yet have generic American names such as Jennifer... I mean, seriously. When I got home from work and checked my voicemail the first night that they had called me, I had five blank voicemails from them! FIVE! I'm still a bit nervous though, because even though I didn't give them my checking account number or SSN, I don't know what they can do with just my name and address... hopefully nothing. Anyone have any knowledge as to whether or not I'll run into any more problems, besides continued phone calls? I'd appreciate any advice on what to do about the matter. Thanks!

These people have been calling my wife's cell phone and hassling her even though she said no on the first call. They have called several times initially caller id showed a toll free number, now when they call they are blocking their number so you don't know it's them. They're still calling, I'm wondering when they'll stop.

The BBB has this information on their company.

These crack pots called me this evening. They all had American sounding names but HEAVY indian accents. They said over and over that I won something like a shopping spree or some crap. When we got to the checking account part I told them to take a hike. They called back and asked if I would speak with a manager. I help the line and told that clown the same thing. I will not give my account number out. They told me over and over that they could not and would not take any money from me. The said it can not be done without my authorization. I just kept saying no. they kept pestering me. I hung up again and they called back like 30 minutes later. they again asked if I would speak with another manager. I held again and this time they said it was only going to cost $1.98 for S&H of the prize pack.(I guess all the others were lying about it not costing a thing, they can not take money out of my account, and just needing the account number for ID verification!) What a bunch of scammers. Very persistent. I think they will screw old folks and others not so skeptical. BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THESE CROOKS!

Dear Jared:

I am another unsatisfied customer. Recently the same thing happened to me: What use do I have for a free, note the word "FREE" bottle of hoodia, phone and internet service when I already have those things with my phone company. I have yet to receive anything from your company, let alone a rejection letter for a refund or a package telling me I had ten days to respond for cancellation.

$149 is a huge amount of money to be removing from someone's account for "Free" services and to do it over the phone when the customer has reminded the telemarketer over and over again that they are ill and could they call back at another time? Is it any wonder people are unhappy with telemarketers wishing they would go to another universe to abuse other consumer's trust. Derek #ID 60 was at least polite when I explained the situation and I mentioned that this matter was not and is not closed.

My fiancee had money stole from his account by this company... The crazy thing about this is they made a fraudulent check with his last name misspelled from the wrong bank...The only thing correct on this check was his bank account number... Not only is this company stealing but how dumb are the people at the bank to not notice that it said that the checking account belonged to a different bank... These people will pay!
