This doesn't even make sense. Tell what happened, and maybe someone will believe you.

Same thing happend to me but it was $99.95 plus $14.00 but add overdraft charges with all this, I am frustrated with this company to no end. Then get an email back states only this, "Your account was cancelled as of mm/dd/yy. No refunds on this account .?" Retarted if you ask me.

i had the same thing happen i called them and tried to be nice with them and when they started getting rude with me i started using more colorful words and then they hung up so i called back and still the same thing so i called my bank and had them put a stop pay on my account and that worked so try having your bank put a stop pay on it before it clears

This also happened to me, but I found a number to contact a representative. [protected]. Unfortunately, I had no help from the customer service department, as they stated I filled out a two-page application for their services, which I did not! They did cancel my membership, but were unable to refund my money ($99.95). The representative did tell me that if I cancel it through my bank the money will be refunded. I had already started that process.

It would be advisable to cancel your membership through their customer service department, as to not incur any other charges. But to refund your money, go through your bank.

Good luck!

The same thing happened to me I now have a negative account balance. The customer service people are very nasty people. They said well you didn't reply to the email so we charged your account. Since when do you get charged for not answering he email. Totally amazing. I told them of course you did this is a huge scam. They said they could cancel my account but they were not going to issue a refund of the $99.95. I just hope more people catch on to this before it is too late. I too went to the Montel website.

OMG! I just looked at my bank account and the exact same thing happened to me! They took out $99.95 that I don't even have and overdrew my account! What the hell do these people think they can get away with this crap?! I tried calling them but it is closed on the weekends but I am going to email them and call tomorrow. After reading the comments, I realized it was from the online payday loans and stupid Montel was one of the websites that I applied to! If anyone knows what kind of legal action to take please post so that I can try and fight this thing! This has to stop!

yea they "tried" to debit my debit card for$99.95 but fortunatly they where declined. I am with greendot and they will not let it happen. I think for me it started when i applied for a loan with money mutual, the one that montell williams endorses. the reason i know that greendot will not let it happen is because that is the reason i didn't get the loan. the person from the loan company i talked to told me so. i am going ahead and closing this account and open a new one. switch to greendot and stay away from money mutual.

This is outrageous, after being victimized by Platinum Services and robbed for $99.95, I read a number of other complaints. Here's a company that has the capacity to legitimately become a very profitable company and yet they are out here defrauding people out of their hard earned money. Its not like they are robbing people on wall street or someone well to do. They are robbing people who for what ever reason are in dire financial straits. I am facing serious financial challenges and decided to apply for an on line payday loan. These people stole money I don't have. Now I have checks bouncing everywhere. It seems like the state Attorney General or the Better Business people would put a stop to this [censored].

I just spoke to the platinum services people, they took $99.95 out of my debit card, while doing an online loan applilcation.. I have no money to feed my children, and truly it was my last dime this month.. they said that it was non- refundable...I have cried all day.. did go through bbb and gave them the case number, , she basically just laughed in my face.. said it was canceled, but not going to refund the money.. we have to shut this place down.. if any one found a way to get refunded, please let me know.

After reading your posts on Platinum Services and the very same things have been happening to my account. I could not figure out who they were and I got the same bull on the phone. Then I read the comment posted by Jimster726 above and it clicked. I applied for cash from "moneymutual.com" that Montel Williams advertises on TV. I am new to this internet stuff, but I figured a company Montel represents should be a good thing. BOY WAS I WRONG! I intend to email Montel myself. And even if I did complete another application that money mutual recommended I still think they should be held accountable. Because I think their spokesman is the best. I just don't understand?

By the way I'm pretty sure this happened due to an online cash loan application was filled out. When I spoke with my bank about this autodraft and the one from the online loan I got they informed me they have the same type loan and that they also take a portion of that loan and deposit it into a savings account for me. So before becoming a victim of the online loan try your bank and see if they have another option

I also was charged 99.95 from this company and called the number given to me by my bank to request a refund they stated it would take 7 to 14 days but they would give me a refund. Now that I have this info I will be reporting them to BBB!

man F*** Platinum Service. I never had any problems with awkward charges on my debit account until I applied for instant cash online approval.

Just recently, I got a $35 NSF which caused 4 mini $35 overdraft charges, amounting to -$175.00

What I did was call my bank and requested that they blocked Platinum Service from accessing my account

Secondly, I am disputing the $35 NSF.

I will let you guys know how it goes in about 2 weeks when my bank gets back to me.

Does anyone know how i can get in touch with these scam artists? I never heard of them either and they have already tried to debit my account twice; which has caused two $25 NSF charges on my account. I'm a single mother of 5 and barely making it. I can't afford for these people to be taking money from me that I don't have.

We are a family of 5, trying to survive on my husbands unemployment, and last friday these people took 99.95 out of our acount . No we can not pay our electric bill, and when my husband called and asked them why, and explained our situation they simply said the funds are not going to be returned. They did this without our bank account number or info. If anyone knows what we can do to get our money back please help !

I had the same thing happen to us! I am on hold with them right now. I have already called my bank and filed fraud dispute, and have a hold on my account so that they can not take any more money! This is stealing, I thought this was illegal? How can they just take money out of your account like this! There has to be a way that it can be stopped for all future victims!

Apparently my actions were effective. I called Platinum Services and closed my "account", told them I was filing a police report, a BBB report, a complaint with the Attorney General and would be closing my checking account to ensure no further unauthorized charges would take place and I would file a fraud claim with the bank . Since my charge was still pending, Platinum Services reversed the charges and the $99.95 transaction disappeared. Since I've gotten the fraud department at the bank involved, any further activity from this merchant will be rejected.

hi everyone i have been experiencing the same exact problem w/ Platinum Service...I have no idea who they are or where they came from. Every time they have tried to pull money from my account no money was there so my bank charges me 25.00 every time. I just spoke with my bank and they provided me with a number [protected] which of coarse gives a busy signal. My bank told me to get a police report and they will take care of the entire situation. These people are crazy, I do not understand how they can do this to people, they are sick. Everyone try talking to your bank to see if they will remove the charges. I'll update you all within a few days.

What disturbs me more than someone taking $99.95 out of my account is the fact that I have been reading that they have been doing this to people for over a year now. How is it that they are allowed to continue? The account they took this money out of supports my ill 82 year old mother who is on a fixed income that is stretched to the limit now. When they took the money out it made the three small checks that the money was in the bank to cover, bounce. Now we are minus the 99.95 they took, the $105.00 bounce check fees and the amount of the checks. This is devastating and the financial spiral effect this has already started on my mothers account has got to be stopped and corrected. I am going to file a complaint with the Attorney General in Nevada & California, The federal Attorney General, Nevada BBB, every government office that has anything to do with our currency and then to our politicians. Who are these people and who are the people that sold them my banking information? I will not be done with this situation until I know the name of the person(s) going to jail for taking money, steeling money that was needed to take care of a woman that worked all of her life for the social security she gets. The bank makes it harder on us to get our money at times than they did for this company. They had no check number, they did not have my ATM Card number all they had to do was tell them they wanted it. This is so wrong!

My friend David received calls from this place today. They claimed that he had committed credit card fraud and threatened legal action if he didn't pay five hundred dollars. When he tried to get info about the supposed debt and the company, they actually hung up on him. They called five times and became abusive and threatening at a certain point and began calling him names and saying that they had his voice recorded giving consent to charge his credit card. They said they had a voice analysis machine that proved with a 99.4% match that the authorization came from him. Here's the kicker- my friend doesn't even have a credit card. TOTAL SCAM. Everyone beware.

Simply check with your bank and they can easily identify where the withdrawl went to. It would have to have been authorized by you at some point. If not you have a problem with your bank(s).
