Unified Services Scammed

I was contacted by "Unified Services" in May from [protected]. A young man informed me that I've won a $1000 internet Shopping Spree and a vacation. He then asked for my bank account number because I needed to pay $1.95 for shipping of the package.

I hesitated, and he called his supervisor who assured me that my bank would not let them deduct more then $1.95 from my account. Lie!

A week later my checking account was slapped with $149.80 and I also had a $25 NSF charge added to the amount. I was horrified. The check was made out to "Unified Services".

I contacted my bank, then this company. They told me to submit claim to their refund department. I did. The department denied my refund. I am angry and disappointed. I am planning on contacting my attorney general and file a complaint.

Unified Services No refunds, no proper information!

Someone saying he's from Unified Services had called me sometime in May/ june and inquired my interest in some of their services. They got my bank details and said they would deduct a small amount for postal. On my return to US I found to my horror that I had nearly 400 dollars taken off my bank over the period. 69.93 every month.

Looks like I was supposed to call them up and cancel the service and I didnt know that some amount will be deducted every month. So here I am loosing nearly 400 dollars. I am not getting any value out of it now and they say they would not refund me. This is NOT a good way of getting customer by not giving enough information and having a transaction over phone. I am looking for a refund but the customer care rep says nothing can be done... Please be aware.

Unified Services Fraud and cheating!

I am lucky enough to see this forum in time. Just like others, i did get a call asking for 1.95$ and the guy was trying to be really polite. He had all my information along with my bank's routing number. He wanted he number for my checking account. I kept on asking him, how did i get into this, when i never left my information anywhere but that idiot kept on giving me lame reasons that looked convincing at that time. Anyhow i was never gonna give my account number but still he managed to take the time to call me. I am saved because i had doubts and also i got to see this forum which proved be really helpful. But these as***** must be stopped robbing innocent people who could fall easily to their trap.

Thanks again.

This company has called me 4 times so far and each time I've told them I am not interested. I don't know how they got my name and address, but they knew it when they called me. I'm hoping that they don't somehow have my account information. I'm submitting this complaint because of the other people who have fallen victim to this companies' scams and fraud.

Hey, I'm Ashley, and a 23 year old college student. I have the letter that Unified Services sent me with my "free trial offers', which is stated in this letter that I received from them, along with the $1000 online shopping spree-which I did not use. Like you guys, I too was a victim to them. I naively (naive-ly) gave them my account number, and other personal information, and they made a fraudulent check of $149.80 against my OLD account. Yup, I CLOSED that account. MY MOM and I informed the bank immediately of what happened. I wrote to the FTC, federal trade commission, inspector general, put a fraud alert with Equifax and Experian. I contacted the sheriff here in my area.

Today, I found the letter that Unified Services sent to me, and I highlighted the parts about "free trial offers" and that the only thing I would have to pay for is a small shipping and handling fee. I also kept the gift certificate, which I NEVER USED. It's right beside the letter sent to me by them. I'M going to inform my mom and dad on this documentation, and my mom's friend has a position above the bank tellers in our area at our bank, my mom and I are at the same bank AND WHEN UNIFIED SERVICES STOLE THAT MONEY FROM ME---THEY ALSO STOLE FROM MY MOM AS WELL. My mom happens to work for a Law firm. My boyfriend's mom is a paralegal. I plan to show her this documentation, the letter sent to me by Unified Services and the gift certificate, tomorrow.

I know better now, and I've learned my lesson. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY ACCOUNT NUMBERS AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, to people THAT YOU DON'T KNOW. BE WISE.

My mother is being debited from her account $69.93 every month from this company since July 2007. So I decided to do a search and was directed to this website. I have been reading the complaints posted to Unified Services and they seem to have happened to my mom. She claims though that she doest know who these people are or how they got to her account. Since I see that there is an offer for Vacations, Internet shopping spree, and Thermo boost 2000 is related in the comments back to one of the many complaints I read "Unauthorized funds drafted from my account" posted:2007-05-30 by Adero Ramsier. We have received in the mail the details of what the vacation package has to offer and the weight loss supplement. As Andero wrote in his complaint my mother claimed the agent said the supplements were for free and was told the same that there is a just a small fee of $1.95 for shipping & handling. Then why the extra charge of $69.93? To me this has Scam written all over it. I was not aware of the charges until recently until I looked into her checking account to see if her insurance was being paid.

My poor mother who is elder recovering cancer patient and who has been through Chemotherapy, is not as sharp as most people who can pick up on these scams was definitely taken advantage of. I would like for my mom to have all her money refunded to her because if any agreement was made at all it should not be held liable due to that fact of her disabled physical and mental state.

Unified Services Company is wrong and is taking advantage of people who can't afford such large amounts of loses.

Unified Services SCAMMED but I have found them out!

Before you start reading this seemingly pointless post I would like to tell you that there is a reason for everything I am going to tell you. Also that i am extremely angry with myself and with Unified Services. Furious actually. That anger led me into a seven hour search for information that everyone that posted here needs. Also some of the people that posted here have some information that I need. Even if you don't know that you do. If I can get this information we can report this illegal business practice and possibly get it shut down. There are two traits in people that I have absolutely no tolerance for, a thief and a liar. This "Companies" employees are, every single one of them,both of these. Join me in this fight.

I received a phone call earlier this afternoon(07-12-07) from a company called Unified Services telling me that every year ten winners are selected from each of the fifty states to receive a $1000.00 dollar online gift certificate and a three day- two night vacation to any one of my choice destinations within their package that they will ship out to me today,these destinations included some really expensive locations. I admit they had my attention. It has been a rough couple of years for my wife and I, and although I don't have hardly enough money to pay my bills, it sure would be nice to get away. Last October I under went total shoulder joint replacement surgery, where we live we are currently in the middle of a stage three drought and our water main broke (of course as my luck goes it was on my side of the meter making me responsible for the insanely high water bill and repair cost) blah blah blah. you might know Murphy's Law, anything that can go wrong does. Thats us lately. So this was welcome news, but I was skeptical cause this sounded too good to be true.

Naturally I started asking questions to the woman(very thick Indian accent) by the name of Genia Anderson.I asked her how she got my name and phone number. Her reply made some sense in an obscure way, being that I was busy at the moment. So I stopped what I was doing and grabbed a pen and note pad and asked for her name again and how to spell it. She complied quickly and courteously. then I asked her what I was going to have to do in return for this to good to be true offer. I asked her "O.K. What is the catch here, what are you trying to sell me. You have hit me with the honey, now start with the vinegar". She then assured me that she wasn't trying to sell me anything at all, that I won this simply because my name was picked, and( sounding a little put upon) informed me that she was not a telemarketer. The only thing that I had to do was choose my destination, call her back and allow her to schedule the trip for me and, simply send them a check for $1.95 to cover shipping and handling within ten days for this wonderful package that she was going to send. Spend my $1000.00 shopping spree money. Go on my free three day- two night vacation, and when I return home call them back and answer a survey of the resort that we would be staying in.

"Thats all!" I asked her. Yes that was all. And she was also going to give me three products to try free for ten days. This is a direct quote. "If at the end of the free ten day trail I was happy with any of the three services then I would sign up for the service. If I was not happy with any of them simply do nothing and the services would simply end.".

O.K. sounds good to me so far. Sounds legitimate so far. Then she asked for my checking account number.(Sound of a record player needle being dragged across a record in my head). I asked her "why do you need my checking account number and are you going to electronically draft my account for the $1.95?". She then said ( another direct quote) " No we will not draft your account you will mail the check to us. I need your checking account number and routing number as well as the name of your bank so that we can verify that it was you that we talked to when your check does arrive. To prevent any kind of fraud on your part! Can you believe that she said she was trying to keep me honest! I guess it is true that the best defense is a good offense. I fell for it. Looking back at it now I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I mean that was just stupid. I just gave someone I don't know, working for a company that I never heard of, free access to my and my wife's checking account. But I did. These people are good at what they do! So then she gave me the web address to the online store where I could spend my $1000.00 dollar shopping spree certificate (that probably doesn't either a.) exist or b.) won't work or c.) has nothing but high priced garbage for products to purchase or the most likely thing d.) loaded with spyware, maleware and or viruses). I was advised not to go over $1000.00 or I would have to pay the difference. The web site is www.freegiftsamerica.com. Then she asked me to hold on while she went and got her supervisor to verify all the information that I had given her.

The supervisors name was Michelle. She didn't give a last name. She too had a thick Indian accent. She went over all the information i had given to Genia Anderson( if that is indeed her real name). She also said that she was going to start a recording for me to accept the three free trials and that I would NEED to sound like I truly wanted the free trials. hindsight is always better than 20/20. If that doesn't sound suspicious, hell looking back at it, it all sounds suspicious, nothing does. But like a cow led to the slaughter i did what i was told. I then received my Package confirmation number and asked them to repeat all the numbers that i had almost been able to make out in the ( now it occurs to me to be intentionally so) horribly distorted and crackly recording that i was told to respond to. I did manage to keep some part of my brain intact during this whole conversation, and asked for their phone number again and received the same number that they had given me previously.

They were satisfied that everything was in order, and I felt like I had all the info I needed from them. The conversation ended as nicely as it began, with them telling me to have a great day. I reciprocated and hung up the phone.

I immediately felt that I had done something tremendously stupid. I got on my computer and Googled Unified Services. that is when I knew I had just been scammed. It took me a while but I found reference to Unified Services. Here. Nobody had anything good to say about them. Unauthorized deductions from banking accounts. People saying that they received verbal abuse from their operators. And even vague threats. Worst of all though is that I haven't seen where anyone has gotten their money back.

Several four letter expletives started to burst from my mouth at my own stupidity. I got scammed. I really thought that I was too smart to fall for anything like this. I did.

First thing I did was call my bank. Told them what had just happened to me. They said that the easiest thing to do is to transfer all of our money to our savings account and close the checking account. Great. We had just a few weeks ago ordered new checks, we would be out all of that money. Plus we would have to order new debit/Visa cards, more money lost. My most helpful agent then suggested another route, putting a stop payment on the debit that would come, thirty dollars. That sounded good, simply because I didn't have to run from them. Only one problem with this plan. I need their business stamp and their routing number. If anyone has these that is how you stop them dead in their tracks. Only a thirty dollar lesson of, if it seems to good to be true, it most likely is.

This is what I have learned today.

1. I was lucky that I felt like something was wrong with this right after i got off the phone.
2. I was lucky that I found this site. It has along with all of every other victims post, been most helpful.
3. The reason why the draft charge that is being deducted from everyones checking account is the same approximate amount is because no one ever called and canceled the services that we did indeed sign up for( with a ten day free trial). When the ten day free trial is over they charge you for the monthly fee for the services by way of electronic deduction of our checking account. We did truthfully and legally sign up for these services. Where the fraud comes into it is that probably everyone that has ever done this was lied to from the word go. As to will I receive the package and the services and products I signed up for, I HOPE to be able to kill this parasite before it gets that far. They charge for all three services at one time that is why the draft is $149.80.

I have managed to dig up quit a lot of useful information regarding this "Company" and how to protect yourself from it happening again by another "Company" however unlikely that seems.

1st you will need to call all three of the service providers numbers and cancel service within your te day free trial. Be diligent don't let up. Keep calling, keep notes, write down everything starting with the persons name that you talk to. If you don't get the answerer that you want from that person demand to talk to a supervisor. You will need to do this with all three of the service providers, even if you never received the service.

The numbers work I have already called them. I had to sit on hold for a little while, (not very long really) but I did talk to a person. That is how I found out that you must call and cancel before your free trial ends. If you don't you will be charged and it will be an automatic draft from checking. The womans name that I spoke with was Joey(once again if that is real). I would not mention anything about this site or them being scam artist. Just simply cancel your service. Be as polite as you can be. GET A CONFIRMATION NUMBER. And write everything down and keep it. if you don't cancel all the services they will continue to bill you.

The number for Unified Services is [protected] (i don't think it would do any good to call this number at all, but at least call the other three first!)

These numbers are the ones that you will need to call to cancel service.

www.donotcall.gov this site will remove your number from these groups list, or they are supposed to remove them at least 31 days from registration. If they call after that they are in violation of the law and could receive a hefty fine. After the thirty day wait period if you receive a call from a solicitor,play their game long enough to get a phone number or business or company name, then nicely tell them that they are in violation of the law because you are on the FTC DO NOT CALL LIST, and that if they ever call you again you will(have a smile on your face while you tell them this, kill them with kindness) be very glad to file a formal complaint with the FCC and the FTC. I doubt very much that they will bother you again. please go to the site and learn what they can and can't do, who can and can't call you. Some organizations are excluded from the law.

Knowledge is power. Go there and register, its free and easy. Just follow their instructions and in 31 days your phone won't ring with so many telescum on the other end.

Please file a complaint against Unified Services.

Good luck to all,

I aggree with you even yesterday [protected]) I got this call and they somewhat "forced" me to take up thier services but I refused to accept , I learned one thing and the guy who called me the same that he was basically Indian guy( but he introuced with a Engligh guy name). I asked that guy why his phone number is not diplaying on my mobile, he "explained "..blah blah blah stuff and reason for it nothing was reasonable. Finally he handed over the phone to his boss and he introduced that his name is Robert and he asked me to give him the details of my bank information. I wondered when he said the bank name where I have account and my complete address I am so pissed off how my personal information has been leaked to these people , Should I blame Sprint where I have taken mobile from or who one?

I wish someone from Investigation side, or Federal Org people should take action against these people and stop them cheating people of America. God bless America.

We too have been victims of this scam. It's our own stupid fault and we are out a couple hundred bucks for a lesson well learned! Thankfully I was going through our bank statement when I saw this charge. I didn't think anything of it until my husband got home and asked him what it was. He didn't know eihter. I get on the wonderful internet and low and behold I find this site. Anyways, I took Walters advice and was able to cancel everything with no hope of getting any of our money back. Even though it was $250 that's a lot of money right now. Anyways, chalk it up to lesson learned. Of course now we get the joy of closing out our bank accounts and opening new ones. No way are we going fall for something like this again.

I have also been bothered by the Unified Services today 9/10/07 after politely asking them to take me off their calling lists they told me it would cost $50 to be taken off. I also think any company with a gmail email account for its main email is kinda sketchy also.

I received a call by a man named matthew wilson yesterday. He told me the exact thing that he told everyone, that i won a $1,000 dollars shopping spree to any mall i wanted to go. This is a girls dream. Then he made things sweeter by telling me i won a trip and i could go to Hawaii, Cancun Mexico, Las Vegas, or Florida. Then of course you have to ask them "what's the catch". He said "No mam there's no catch". He said i would get this all for free because my name was entered and i and like 500 other people had won. So he said he would be sending me a package by mail with my tickets. All i had to pay was $1.95. At this point i was thinking this man is trying to rip me off. Then he asked me to pay with my check number this is where i stopped him and told him "No Thank You". He quickly responded "Mam, I'm just trying to get this out to you". So i asked him for his phone number so i could call him back. He said that he would call me back to tell him when. I told him to call the next day at the same time and he said ok. The next day sure enough he called back, explained everything to me again. I had one day to think about it and when he called i knew what to ask!. I told him if i could send him a money order or a check and he said no he insisted that i give him the checking number and bank name. So i straight out told him NO. I told him that i didn't trust him that with that number he could rip me off. He said no that my bank wont allow them to take anything without my signature or my approval. I told him that YES it is possible but he kept on arguing and started raising his voice at me and then told me that if i didn't want it to just hang up but i argued with him because all he was telling me sounded like he was lying to me and i wanted the truth from him. I ended telling him "NO THANK YOU BYE" and hung up the phone. I had never been so mad at someone for lying to me. I f i had not told him the day before to call back i probably would have fallen for his lies. If you ever receive a phone call by a person or company you have never heard of hang up the phone especially if he has a indian accent. Never give out personal information to people you don't know especially bank account information that's just asking for trouble. Please be careful with those people that call you at home and you don't know.

I was scammed by them and had 149.80 taken from my account back in May and have now been reimbursed by Unified Services after a long fight. I believe this company needs to stopped especially after reading your story of both scams. I am still worried they may try something more from my account. I WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO SEE THIS SO CALLED COMPANY SHUT DOWN, STOPPED, OR BEST OF ALL PROSECUTED.

I was contacted by unified services on July 8th, they had tried calling numerous times before but this was the first time I answered the call. The first rep told me that I had been picked for this 1000 dollar shopping spree and the 2day 3night trip and all I needed to do was send 1.95 check. I had already goggled their phone number [protected] and found all the complaints against them and that they actually charge peoples account 149.80 so I knew it was a scam and I told them they called my cell phone and it was on the do not call list, so If they call back I would file a complaint with the FCC.

Even after I had told them this they called back 20 minutes later and I thought the best way to get them was to play along with their scam. I spoke to a Jimmy Reed an American name even though he had a foreign accent. I started screaming when he told me I won and said I knew the lord would bless me when I quit doing certain things, which I won't say here not to offend anyone. when he asked to verify my address I told him it was 1212 crazy hill drive, he kinda chuckled but didn't act like he knew I was playing with him. I kept him on the phone for about an hour and told him I didn't have a checking account. He told me to see if I could use a friends because it would only be 1.95 charge and not a penny more. I said are you sure it will not be 149.80 because that is all the money I have, and he still acted like he wasn't catching on.
He told me he would call me back in a week to see if I get a check from a friend. I told him I might be able to get one from someone that has like 50.000 in the back so they would not notice 1.95, I was really screwing with him because what this company has done to so many.

Jimmy did call me back a week later and I told him that I had researched the company online and I knew it was a scam and it was just a matter of time before the company was shut down and that they better never call my number again or I would form a large group to seek restitution for all the people they have scammed.

I also get another call on July 8th about 20 minutes after I has talked to Jimmy from the same number [protected], but this time they said it was united lending and I was approved for a 15.000 car loan and I told them someone just called from the same number saying I won a free trip and 1000.00 shopping spree. The person said yes we offer that also. I told them that I didn't have a checking account and they asked me if I was employed and I said no so they said they couldn't help me. I guess they are running two scams from this same number. I don't know how they got me number accept that I have given it on line before for a loan that I thought was legit. I am just glad that I didn't really get scammed by these people but I still worry about me account because if they got me name and phone number who knows what they can get. If you goggle the [protected] it shows like 572 complaints and says that even after that it seems that the FCC isn't doing anything, maybe because they are really calling from some middle eastern country and they can't track them down. I am willing to cooperate with anyone taking any kind of legal action against them because like I told their rep Jimmy Reed In the United States of America this is Illegal and people go to Jail for stealing.

Unified Services Scamming my checking account

I just found out today 6/30/07 that my account is in a negative balance, i went to my bank today to find out what extra charges were. Here i find unified service's deducted money in the negative balance. So what i am doing is copying some of your complaints and giving it to my bank as live proof on paper to get an easy dispute. And for all of you unfortunate people that fell for the same scam i did, this is getting reported to our states F.B.I unit in Albany, N.Y. to the Internet Fraud Department. And to all the people in same situation I would advise for you all to do the same.

Unified Services Verizon is giving out phone numbers!

I received a call from John from Unified Services telling me the same thing everyone else has been saying. $1.95 for 1000 dollar shopping spree and a vacation. This is definitely a scam, I am glad I found this site. The point of this blog is to ask people if they are also Verizon customers. I noticed a few other complaints which were either customers or cell phone users of this company. If, in fact, most people are their customers the complaints should lie solely with Verizon, for it might be that they are selling our phone numbers. If you are a Verizon customer please comment on this blog. If this is the case I will go after Verizon, since I believe there is not much we can do about a company in India. But there is much we can do about an American Company selling phone numbers to scam artist company's across the world.

three.co.uk are selling phones that have a known reported issue with the sim cards. The sim doesn't work and when you phone up they want all your personal details in order for you to have working sim card sent to your home. Why these sims have not been replaced in the 3 shops is anyone's guess.

Oh My Goodness, I cant believe this company. They charged my acct in August and since then Ive been battling with them to remove my information from their acct. I'm a Nextel customer and don't remember ever speaking with them. They also charged my acct $38.32 several times for some magazines. Wachovia has returned all monies paid out to this company but somehow they obtained my credit card info and charged me the $38.32. I canceled the card per Wachovia and now I received a bill in the mail and harassing calls. I spoke with a lady at the company, after I told her I never authorized this, she told me to pay the $38.32 and they will close out the acct and stop calling me. What the hell? I said Hell NO! and for her to give me a Manager/Supervisor. She refused to give me anyone and said to fax my complaint and proof from the bank and they will handle it from there. Nothing has been done except a complaint with my bank. I think this company needs to be sued and everyone needs to gather all their proof and information and we need to do this. This is outrageous! Does anyone have a phone number for them other than the #[protected]. I could never speak with anyone at this #... Watch out for the company named, Magazine Services, they are affiliated with Unified because they are the ones to shard my info and thats how I received all those $38.32 charges... And the weird thing is, I'm receiving tons of different magazines in the mail...

I just received the call from Unified Services. When I requested to be removed from the call list, the operator refused and told me it was too bad. I asked for the name of the company and informed him that I would be turning the company in to the Federal Government for refusing to remove me from their call list at my request. Believe it or not, he laughed and said good luck. The guy who called me barely spoke English, and I don't think they are in the US.

Hahaha... Man, I had fun with these guys tonight. They called me and I knew right away it was a scam, but I was bored so I just let him take me down the "prim-rose path". I gave him fake info that I made up from posters that I was looking at while I was talking. Then I gave him a fake bank account number and address. He was telling me that I also got a free camera, and diet pills that I could lose up to ten lbs with, I told him I was already pretty skinny. So he's says, in a real thick accent... "maybe you have family you can give pills to". I was like, "hmm, ya know... I have a pretty fat infant... maybe he can use them".

"That's wonderful" he said.

"Yeah, I can maybe put them in his bottle" I replied.

"Yes, that's wonderful" he said again.

Finally it came down to confirmation time... after about 10 minutes of me asking him stupid questions like, "should I pack a sweater to Hawaii?" So I hung up... he called back immediately and goes... "why you hand up" I told him my kid accidentally hung it up and he said he'd try it again and not to hang up... so I hung up. Then he called back, this time obviously irritated and asked why I hung up again.

I said, "because your a con-artist... do you think I'm stupid?" He started getting all excited and I told him not to call back and he goes, "I'll do what I want to!" I just laughed at him. Then he tried to tell me that he could have me arrested because I gave him false information. After a hearty laugh, I told him good-bye and he seemed happy to get out of the call.

It was fun... I hope I get another one of those... LOL!

Unified Services Unified services is a SCAM!

Somehow a company called Unified Services had my name, address and phone number. They called me last night telling me that i had won a $1000.00 shopping spree and a vacation. He kept asking me for my checking account number because i had to pay 1.95 shipping and handling. i was suspicious so i told him i didn't have a checking account. He asked me if a family member did and i said no. Although i told him a had no checking account he kept trying to talk me into giving him my account number. Eventually he realized that he would not get anything from me and he hung up (Nick #2709) They called my mother too but she said she is not interested and hung up on them. I looked them up on better business bureau and saw that they were making unauthorized charges to peoples account for not 1.95, but for $140.80. Scam!

Unified Services Rip off, scam and threats!

Today I received a phone call from a 'Mark Doca' He said he was calling from "Unified Services" and started into a spiel about something I had won. I stopped him and told him I was on the do not call list and he was violating it.

"Mark" than said he was not a telemarketer but was calling to tell me I had won 1000 dollars worth... At that point I cut him off and said I wasn't interested. He told me (and I quote) ""Shut Up! Shut Your mouth and listen!"

I was shocked and asked to speak to his supervisor. He asked why. I repeated my request and was told that the supervisor wasn't available and that he (Mark) could answer any questions I had. I told him I was going to report him and he said "F*ck You!"

I told him never to call again and that I planned to report him and his company for harassment and abuse. He hung up. A few minutes later, my phone rang again. It was him. He laughed and said, "I know your name Christina, and your address. You will be sorry! F**k you!"

He then hung up! I have called my local police station who have taken a report. My attorney's office will be contacting the attorney general's office as well as several other agencies first thing tomorrow morning.

This company needs to be stopped! It is illegal to harass people and make such threats.

Thank you all for the heads up. I've gotten three calls in the last few hours; wasn't home when the first to came in, but did not answer the third, and found this site when I googled the number.

Something that's worked for me in the past is to pick up the phone but not say anything, just wait until they say something, and then immediately blow a very loud and very shrill whistle in their ear. They might think your phone is a fax number or something and take it off the list. Or they might just not want to have their ears blown out anymore and take it off the list. Either way, they won't call anymore.

Thanks again and good luck!

Yes,

If you get a call from [protected], it is Unified Services and they are indeed a scam. I was called by an Indian who called himself "Edwin Grey". Do not let them talk you into giving out your bank account information. The only thing they knew about me was my name and my current address and phone number.

These guys have called me twice now.
Luckily they have my old mailing address.
I don't know how they got that info, but it is 3 years old now.
Pretty crazy. They knew my name, my phone number, and an old address of mine.

Only thing i can think of is the old crappy cheap auto insurance i had in college... but that is just speculation.

He claimed they only pick "2 valued customers a year" and I was one of them!
They want to give you all this free stuff, but you have to pay for shipping... right.

The same thing happened to me tonight an indian lady called my cell phone and told me i won a trip and $1000 shopping spree. I knew it was to good to be true so i had asked a lot of questions since i was not compatible giving out my checking info even thou she tried so hard to get it from me. After asking a bunch of questions it seemed like she was repeating herself still trying so hard to get my checking info. Anyway after being on the phone with her for about a half hour i told her i had to speak to my husband about it before i give out that kind of information over the phone (which i am not married) she wouldn't give me her number and said she will call me tomorrow. Thank god i did not give out my info... as soon as i got off the phone i looked up UNIFIED SERVICES to see if this was a scam and thanks to your comments it is. i was so tempted to give out my info but now when the indian lady calls my phone i will tell her I'm not interested... THANKS TO ALL YOU GUYS...

Michelle,
You need to get your head out of your ###. You're trying so hard to cover your tracks you look robotic. I've seen your 'replies' all over the internet. You're a fraud as well as the company you work for. There's something wrong with people being called and cussed out - how do you explain that? Are these $2 an hour workers that go on commission and the more they cuss at people the more they make a sale? Are they tied to a chair until a sale comes up? Get your stories straight - people are coming after you and you know it. Get another job.

Michelle,

Your response does not address the issue at hand here. Not even close. This is a serious problem, that needs attention and adequate handling. NOT the same four paragraphs copied and pasted on every complaint thread. THIS is straight up harassment.

IF you are, indeed, a legitimate business; the very next thing you do is fire that caller. I ensure you a lawsuit will be on your head if you don't stop it today.

Everything written before me is true! These guys are rude, and won't stop calling or listen to your rebuttals. I'm calling my bank now to warn them that "Unified Services" may have information that they are not authorized to have and, as such a large banking institution, they should be protecting their client's information more carefully.

They also called me tonight wanting my checking account and I told them no and they just wouldn't give up. So i told them to get me off the calling list and he argued that they couldn't do that because they weren't selling anything and I have to take this prize. So I told them I was going to contact my attorney to check this company out and he said I didn't need that and I told him to call me back tomorrow. I am trying to get as much information out of these people just incase we can go further by sueing them for harassment. So how about we all work together and find out what our next move.

Oh my gosh... so what happened? Did he really have your account info? When they called me, they knew my full name, address, phone number, and even my bank and the routing number. I DID NOT give them my account number, but how did they get all of that other info? SCARY! I have a feeling they will be calling back, since they have already called 3 times, and can't seem to take no for an answer. I don't even know what to say to them. Hanging up doesn't work, claiming that they have the wrong number doesn't work, even yelling at them doesn't work. I'm all out of ideas.

First off, this company called me and an indian guy that i could barely understand, started off by reciting all of my information. He knew my full name, address, and telephone number. Then after the whole speech about the "free vacation" and the "1000 online shopping vouchers", they were trying to talk me into giving them my account number. People...

Unified Services Unified Services is a rip off company!

Thank God I googled this company while I was on the phone with them and found this site. UNIFIED SERVICES called me from the following number: [protected] and I was speaking to an Indian man who called himself "Cody Wilson." He tried to reassure me that this was not a ripoff by providing an address, phone number, Employee ID number, and BBB registration number.

I refused to give him any information, but somehow he already knew my name, my old address (which I did not correct for him) and my direct line at work - I don't give this number out.

Anyway, I did not give him any personal banking or financial info!

I regret to say, but I just got off the phone with this company and they now have all of my information(bank, address, etc.) I am only 18, but should have known better. After I got off the phone with these people, I explained to my dad the situation, and he told me to get on google and look this company up. When I finally found it, tears started down my face, because I knew that I was in a big hole now. My dad is a police officer, and hopes he can help find these people. I'm really scared of what to do, but still hoping that this is all a bad dream. I don't see how company's can do this to innocent people, but I guess that's the way the world is now; "without money there isn't success." I just hope that this place is stopped soon.

United Services is a f***ing joke. This people are out to scam you! I hope you, unlike me, read this before giving out any personal information. Companies like this need to be stopped by ANY MEANS NECESSARY! They scam innocent, hard-working families out of their hard-earned dollar. At the same time, they are making a killing because they out-source their work to India and other third world countries who make 10 cents a day. I implore you to not give any information to them. Ask them where they got your information (Name, Address, Phone Number) and tell them to take it off of ALL of their lists. This should be illegal! There needs to be something done. Write to you congressman or representative and complain! They have the power and ability to stop this!

I received the same call from an Indian man from Unified at the [protected] number. Since I could barely understand him and I thought it sounded fishy, I simply hung up. He immediately called back and left me the most vulgar message ever telling me to F--- my mom and repeatedly calling me a mother f-er and son of a b----. Sounds like a quality organization! I wish I could contact someone from this company and play them this message...

Debra,

We discovered your complaint posted on 5/2/2007 regarding our services. We would appreciate the opportunity to respond to your complaint.

While indeed we do contact individuals via phone about our amazing package which includes a free Internet Shopping Spree and complimentary 2 day, 3 night vacation. Additionally, we offer three fantastic trial services including a very affordable calling card, inexpensive high-speed dial-up Internet service, and the amazing Ultra Thermo Boost 2000 dietary supplement.

The terms of our offer are clear and understandable and we take every precaution to ensure that the individuals we call understand the terms of our services. While these steps are taken, occasional mistakes do occur. We work diligently to correct these mistakes and ensure that our customers are happy. I believe you will find the same when you read our responses to customer complaints on this website.

While you won't be receiving calls from us any longer, we do believe that if you had tried our services, you would agree that, dollar for dollar, they are indeed a great deal.

Respectfully,

Jared (Badge #1096)
Quality Control,
Unified Services

Beware of this company - UNIFIED SERVICES! These people call my house every other day this past week wanting me to accept their $1000 on-line free coupons with 3 days to a trip to hell. I told each rep that called me that I was not interested, and to take me off their phone list, and that I am on a Do Not Call list. Well this morning was the last straw...

Unified Services Scam to take your money

This morning I was called by an unknown number the y promised me a $1000 online gift card and a 3 day 2 night trip if i tried a online service, long distance service, and a fat burner (thermo something...). They ask for your account number but assure you will only be charged 1.95 for shipping .I have seen that they then continue to charge you more because they have your account number. I even told these people that I was on my way to do volunteer work ! What great morals some people have!
