Unified Services review: Scam, scam, scam! 167

I received a phone call saying I had won a cruise and $1000 dollar shopping spree, and all I needed to do was pay a small fee for $1.95. The phone representative assured me that that no other fee would be taken from my checking account. I was very hesitant, but I accepted into the company's scam. Now on three different occasions Unified Services has taken money from my checking account without my permission. A total of $287.00 was taken from my checking account. Unified Service informed that I was paying for diet pills, online services, and phone services. I do not need to diet pills; I have wireless internet already; and I have phone. Unified Services did repay $69.00 to my checking account but refused to pay $149.80. If united services scammed you and took your $150.00 for nothing, I would love to file a class action law suit against them so that they know that it is unacceptable to treat people like this. This is my email address tonreeves@hotmail.com.

The guy was very persistent about getting my account number. I told him I wasn't comfortable just giving my account number out so he gave me his name ID number and customer service number or something. He asked for my account number again so then I just hung up on him. A few minutes later someone called back and I had a co-worker answer it and they were getting rude with her and she was asking to take a message and they would tell her anything.

I received the same telephone call today (9/29/07) as everyone else, but refused to give my checking account number. All the criteria as mentioned in everyone elses posts matched identically, including the thick Middle Eastern accent by men who had very American names. However, I was never told that there were any free trials of anything.

I received this call at my place of business, a small bar & grill located in Louisiana. I am from, and make my home in, Florida - and this move to Louisiana is only temporary - therefore I have no permanent address here. The telephone number and address that the man gave were linked to the business - however, the address was slightly different than what is the normal business address. I realized that the address the man recited to me was the exact way I had given my address to my new checking account that I had opened up last week at Regions bank. I specifically gave Regions bank a different address, so that it appeared to be an apartment address - as opposed to a commercial address, since this was for my personal checking account. The only way that Unified Services could have that physical address in the strange unique manner I gave it out, was to get it from Regions Bank. Therefore, my next step is to contact Regions and find out why they are selling their customer information.

For the people who have unfortunately been scammed out of their $150 - you all should talk amongst each other and find out what common links in life you have. This may lead you to the source that is selling your personal information. I encourage you to stop your business dealings with any companies who you find to sell your personal information to such obviously unstable/illegal companies such as Unified Services.

This company took more money than they said they would. They told me I would have to pay only $1.95 for shipping and handling. Later on in next month or so I received a statement from the bank that said I had a NSF check written for $149.80. The check number did not look like the number on my check books, and I know that I did not write a check for that amount, so I called my bank and asked them who the check was written for, they said it was written out to a company by the name of Unified Services. Now I am in the process of filing a complaint.

I have received at least 20 phone calls from this company on my cell phone (AT&T) within 2 weeks. Each time I ask them to either remove the number from their list or to never call again, to no avail. Every caller has a heavy accent and I have been called names, threatened to be sued (!) and cussed at for being annoyed and asking them why they don't comply with me demanding to stop calling my cell phone. The last comment from the guy was "Why you bark like dog, ###!"

I would love to either sue these people (haha) or strangle one of them, not sure where to complain to do something against them.

Anybody who knows how to get rid of these people and make them pay for violating telemarketing laws, let me know.

Hello I am here to comp[lain about this unified service, there was a 149.80 charge on my account. I call the 1-800 number to find out that I supposedly signed up for a 10 day free trial with three companies. Now first of all I dont give out my info on the phone like that. They said I received a package with a cancel in 10 days trial or be charged for all three services. Well I didnt receive no pkg. they say if I cant prove its fraudulent then I cant have my money back cause the 10 day trial is up. But what dont make since to me is you can cancel the service but you cant get your money back. 149.80 for services I never heard of never see and surely never had or used! I am contacting my bank today to fill out a fraudulent charge paper. If that dont work then I am definitely going one step further to get my money back. This business has to liar and cheaters. Taking ppls money and keeping it weather you cancel or not 149.80 for three services. I never used one service so how do u get charged? Well be careful not to make this mistake. Never give ur information on the phone. Even if it sounds good. Cause you will be cheated just like Unified services cheated me.

They drafted money from bank acct. I have no idea how they got my info for my banking acct. But they made a fake check and tried to withdraw 100.00. And succeeded with their first draft of 40.00.
I had to close my bank acct and I am in the process of starting all over with a new acct! Beware of this company, if you see that a withdrawl has been made that your not sure of, please check into it!

Just like everyone i was told pay $1.95 then charged $149.80 they put me in the negitive 200.00 i was so upset but i got it together and called the bank. What you do is call the bank tell them what happened you should talk to the disclaimer or dispute department they will get you a investigater and he will the check the claim and get your money back and the fees the bank charged you, I have wachovia and they where so nice and helpfull. But I wont stop there i will call the company the go to better business berue and fbi so on the will wish they didnt mess with me!thank you

I am including the link for the FBI reports. Do not be worried about filling out a complaint. You are in no trouble. The FBI will help you.

Unified Services is a dangerous network of scam artists with international origins. Gaining unauthorized access to personal bank accounts, home addresses, and credit information. You have not asked for the terror these people have brought upon you. Neither have I. However, you have to fight it back or they will win.

I wish you the best because I know what your going threw... or will be if you don't attack now.

I had previously posted a complaint regarding Unified Services entitled "Took Roughly $300 Without Permission", and after talking with the company and their refund department, I was able to receive a complete refund of the money taken from me. It was initially difficult to do so, but after faxing the number provided (found from calling their customer service line) I received a phone call informing me that I would be receiving a complete refund. If anyone else is having problems with this company, call the number provided (if you view the charge or talk to your bank you should be able to find it) and ask for the fax number for the refund department. Fax them the reasons why you believe a refund is in order and they should respond accordingly.

Kalle.

I had received a phone call from Unified Services and they had agreed to send me a full refund of my money. I'm going to sign a contract statement with them to get my refund back. Thank You Unified services and also with that contract i hope they include the $37.00 in overdraft fee. I lost my account with the bank because of the overdraft that was made when taking money out of my account.

Beware!

My aunt had $149.80 deducted from her checking account of 6-18-07. We live in SC and her bank is in NC. I just discovered it today and will email her bank and see what can be done. I am not sure how they got her banking info, she just moved her three months ago and they had her new address and phone number. We have not even changed her address at her bank and the check they submitted for payment has her new address on it. BEWARE AND LET OTHERS KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING.

I got a call on my office phone which I was surprised me at the first place and this lady started talking fast and told me I have won something. I ask to repeat the company name and she said Unified, luckily since I was in front of the computer, I let her talk and did a google search for unified and got all the complaints and after reading them while she was talking on and on asking my account number, bank name etc but I never gave any personal information. She tired a lot to get my name but I just gave first 3 letters of my name and told them to call back since I did not have any information now. Thanks to all the complaints I did not get into much trouble.

This happened to me two weeks ago. This company called me at least 5 times. My number is registered on National do not call list. I made a complaint on National Do Not Call Registry web site. The site says that it helps the government to investigate frauds and use law enforcement against companies like that one. So I encourage everyone to go and make a complaint. Maybe they’ll pay for the damages.

Please note that I left this same message as a comment to one of the other complaints, but I thought it wise to leave a separate complaint as well.

First of all, I have no clue how this company had my cell phone info, but last friday I kept getting called by the [protected] number. I finally answered and to my dismay it was Unified Services telling me I had won a shopping spree and vacation. I could not understand the Indian man on the phone as he was flying through his very scripted speech so I hung up. He called back right away and left me a message that would make a sailor blush. Telling me to F--- my mom, and calling me a mother f-er and son of a b-----.

I understand it was probably rude to hang up on this individual, but he has no right to verbally abuse me like he did. What a sad, sad situation.

I received a call on my cell phone in early spring from a Unified Services Rep. with a thick Indian accent. He claimed to be able to offer me a $1000 internet shopping spree in which I would be able to purchase electronics, household items, computers etc. He said he was offering me this because he knew that I had been shopping for a home computer and internet for my home and one of the company's had contacted him. (I had been looking on the internet from my Dad's computer, comparing prices & considering different offers.) He continued with his sales spill claiming that if I would pay $1.95 S&H that I would receive my free $1000 gift certificate, a trip for 2-3days&2 nights to a destination of my choice, a free trial offer for long distance, a free trial offer for internet, & a free 10 day supply of Ultra Thermo Boost 2000 (a popular diet pill) I gave him my acct. info & was debited $1.95. When i received the pkg in march, i called & canceled the trial offers. I tried to use the bogus $1000 on a web-site in which u pay S&H that averaged $300-500 for common items. The value of the product u get free is equal to the S&H. I went to the website that the gift certificate came from & found that they can be purchased for marketing purposes for as little as 1-10 cents each. The vacation voucher was a joke, I had thought I could use it on my honeymoon in July. WRONG!u have to pay $10 & send it off to get the actual voucher that comes with endless restrictions. The company continued sending the diet pills & debiting my acct. for$29.97 each month after I had canceled the order. Each time i called, they gave me a cancellation # and the following month another debit to my acct. for $27.97. When I threatened them with legal action for unauthorized debits I was transferred to a "supervisor"who attempted to take care of the situation & said that if I would return the unopened pkg.'s, I would receive a credit.I called today to confirm the cancellation because i had received another bottle. The rep said that the order had been canceled for the 4th (&hopefully) the final time on July 3rd, but i would be receiving no credit to my acct because once they're debited and shipped they belong to me. So because of this company-Unified Services my family has lost a total of $111.68 when I authorized only 1.95. What can I do?It doesn't look like I will be able to recover the money or have no guarantee that there won't be more. Seems like this would be illegal. If they call you-hang up the phone-trust me nothing that they are selling is worth the money you are guaranteed to lose.If anyone has a legal remedy, I would love to know. I am newly married and this has effected both of us because we have a joint checking. We have considered closing it and starting a new one, but I don't think that it's hardly worth the costs we would incur. It is impossible to block them because they draft from different accts.

Beware people!

They have taken 219.73 out of an account my name is not even on. I have called the banks where they were cashed, I have called someone named Derek, I have called and canceled things I had not seen, approved, wanted, heard of... you name it. They will only accept a refund request via mail or fax. There are no numbers or a way to get in touch with someone other than those who say they are canceling the products. The banks refer you to the Derek guy, but all you get is an answering machine from him. I will not stop until this is settled. Anyone who thinks they may have fallen for this too needs to call [protected],1725,1723 and cancel anything in your name. I don't know that this helps, but I hope it does.

I received several phone calls from this company. They said I won a $1000 shopping spree and a vacation package. All I had to do was pay $1.95 after I received my package. They also stated that they needed my bank name and checking account number to verify that it was really me. I told them why can't I mail you a money order for the package deal after I get It. They said they have to have a bank to bank transfer. I told him he was crazy. I wasn't giving him anything because of Identity theft. He just laughed and said don't be scared we won't steal your money! So I just hung the phone up in his face. I looked up the info about Unified services and saw they were a scam. So thanks everyone for your input. I did get his name (if it is his real name) Richard Brown his ID#GG1035 and the phone number [protected] if this will help anyone!

Unified Services has made unauthorized transaction of $149.80 from my account without knowing to me. I don't know how they got the information of my bank account details.

I remember once that somebody has called and told me that they I have won some amount of money for paying taxes from IRS and took the information about my account details and informed me that the amount will be deposited into my account within 2 hours but exactly after 2-3 weeks Unified Services has done electronic transfer from my account of $149.80 without knowing to me.

So be careful with Unified Services, its a fraud company and somebody has to do something to close these kind of scams.

Regards,
Sri.

They just got me too, Really believed for some reason that this could be a great deal!Which when it sounds to good to be true it is! They said i would ONLY be charged to my banking account a one time fee of $1.95. Now after reading other letters I`m terrified! They do have access to account so who knows how much they can take out! I`m going to Bank first thing Monday Morning to stop payment before they get me! But they have all tonight and tomorrow to rob me! This is crazy! We have to put a stop to this!

I am also receiving calls on a continuous basis from Unified Services. I have requested that I be placed on the "Do Not Call" list but of course, that hasn't happened. Usually when I do that the person just hangs up on me. The last call I received, yesterday as a matter of fact, I asked the woman for the customer service phone number. She said that she couldn't give me that information until the transaction was complete. I again told her that I had requested for them to not call me and I wanted to speak to a manager. She just kept right on talking. The funny thing is, after a minute, she asked me if I was really interested because she didn't want to continue and waste my time or hers if I wasn't. I told her that she should already know I wasn't interested from the moment I told her I wanted to be put on the Do Not Call list! Anyway, the only information I got out of her was that the company is Unified Services in Las Vegas and that it is a travel agency (which may or may not be the truth). I am waiting for them to call me back again! By the way, I am not a Verizon customer but they did call my cell phone and I am with Nextel.

I have refused their "deal", asked to speak to a manager and told "no", asked for a return phone number and told"you can't call me back I have to call you". They have my name and verizon cell number but not my address. I went along with it to see how much info they had on me and he verified my name and number but did not have my address and wanted it. I did not give it to him. I told him he should have it if I already won. My call ID says "0" or "[protected]" on my cell. I have asked to be removed from their calling list but they still call everyday. I have ignored their calls for 5 days in a row and they still call each day. I have called verizon and even talked to the legal department who says they can not trace the calls because the company is spoofing in and the number won't show up. I do NOT get these calls at my house though. I have ID block at home. If a person will not show their ID my phone will not ring. Its cox service caller Id rejection. Maybe thats why I don't get the calls at home. Funny that other people are verizon customers who are getting hassled too. I hope verizon did not do this.

I have repeatedly asked them to take me off there list and they have not. They call me everyday. The last call I got the man with an accent kept telling me to tell him why he was calling. They told me that I had won a $1000.00 online shopping thing and wanted my bank account info, I refused. The man was very rude and obnoxious. I used to be a telemarketer so I know the laws. He told me that he would keep calling me whether I liked it or not. I am very upset. Someone needs to stop these people.

I received a phone call from "Shane Watson" of Unified Services claiming that they were offering me the same as everyone else's complaints... a vacation or $1000 in products. Shane clearly wanted access to my bank account and was sorrily disappointed when I would not share this information with him and declined his offer. He insisted on my address... which I gave him an office address... I figure a big corporation may have more impact on this company. I am on the Do Not Call list, so he must have gotten my number from something I purchased on line... thank goodness I did not list my home phone or home address...

As soon as I hung up the phone, I googled their phone number and found this page... thank goodness!

I have to tell all that FINALLY Unified Services has done GOOD yes GOOD! They promised me a refund after 2 denials (so don't give up hope) I received my check for $149.80 on Aug.6th and yes I cashed it it was GOOD. I promised to come back to this sight and let everyone know they had made good with me so here I am Unified Services only praising Derek who is the only polite professional employee I have had contact with in this company he never yelled or got smart with me like Michelle who should be ashamed of herself and the bull crap she gives people, anyways Derek([protected] is true to his word so people here is a number that you can speak to a real person who's word is good. Lets face it Unified Services is playing nasty scams on people and they know it so if you fall for their scam just remember there is hope. I NEVER RECEIVED anything in the mail from them after the call and I did agree to try the services yes but was told I WOULD RECEIVE A PACKAGE WITH EXPLANATIONS AND NUMBERS TO CANCEL IN WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED I ALSO AGREED TO $1.95 SHIPPING AND HANDLING NOT $149.80 AND YES THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE ON RECORDING SO DON'T LET THEM BS YOU INTO THINKING YOU OWE THEM THIS $149.80! I also received over draft charges back from my bank so don't give up hope people and I STILL AM TRYING TO STOP THIS COMPANY FROM ITS HARASSING PHONE CALLS AND UN-PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS PRACTICES.

On 5/7/07 I received a call telling me I had won a $1000.00 shopping trip and a 3 day vacation. All it was going to cost me was $1.95 shipping. Requiring my bank information. I nicely told him I was not going to give him that information. He said F you and hung up. Again this morning another call same company same winnings I told him i had already received a call from them and was about to tell the about the last call but he slammed the phone down in my ear. This is my cell phone and I want it to stop. Thank you for your time

HI ALERT to all who get a phone call from "my service representative" Dennis Miller. He works at Unified Services located in Las Vegas Nevada @ [protected]. For just 1.95 I will have a 1000 dollar shopping spree and a paid vacation, all for my 1.95 registration fee. I personally was scammed LAST YEAR BY DENNIS MILLER only his name then was Paul and he worked for HEALTH NET. For the same "low one time deduction of 1.95", I was going to get a 500. WALMART gift card and all the information will be sent to me in the mail. Then get charged 125.00 after I reviewed all the material. If I didn't want it I could call customer service and cancel as long as it was before the 30 days. Well I guess you all know it cost me just about 376.95 before I had to close my checking/savings account!

AND YES, I AM A VERIZON CUSTOMER< NOT SURE FOR HOW MUCH LONGER!

Like so many other complaints on this site, they have called me repeatedly despite my request that my number be removed. I don't even know how they got my cell number! They would not comply and the third time I was going through this I started yelling at the guy. He is still calmly trying to tell me he's calling to give me something for free. Sure. The number on my ID is [protected] and they are obviously calling from India or somewhere over there. They must be shut down! Their persistence is amazing. Please don't succumb. If Americans won't fall for their crap it won't make them any money and they'll have no reason to keep doing it.

We keep getting the calls saying something about 1 $1000 shopping spree. Then something about a 3 day trip. We keep saying we aren't interested as we have no extra money for the extras. Besides that, we don't have credit cards. All we do is hang up cause they won't shut up. Don't know the number they are calling from, and we can't block in call block cause it comes "from outside the service area". Don't keep listening to them. Just hang up. The id*ots need to be stopped.

An Indian man Identifying himself as informed me that I was lucky to be one of a selected few to be chosen to win a $1000 free shopping spree for FREE GIFTS AMERICA and a 3day/2night get away. He was difficult to understand. He told me that if I just pay $1.95 for shipping and handling, I would receive a package that includes the above mentioned. He said to make the check payable to "United Services." He assured me that it is a legitimate company and that he won't be charging a penny more. Now I should be getting a package in the mail including 3 additional offers. He said that I have 10 days to cancel these offers once I get them in the mail. "The best part about it is that money will automatically be deducted from your bank account." If I do not call and cancel the other 3 offers. And the numbers that you need to call to cancel are not toll free. 3 different numbers from 3 different companies. So, if you fall victim to this... The best you can do is pay the $1.95 plus the charge to the phone time it takes to cancel the three offers.

Unified Services agreed to refund me and faxed me papers to sign (REFUND AGREEMENT) with the promise of a full refund of $149.80 if I agreed to take my original complaint from this site off and tell how wonderful the customer service is and how they did right by me well what a surprise I signed the paper and mailed it back to the address on the paper and that was July 4th and now I can't seem to get a hold of anyone except for the people who can cancel my free trial.

Beware!

Unified Services is an international scamming business based in India. Therefore, look in your phone book (usually in the very front under "important phone numbers") and call the number for your local FBI annex. Explain to them whats going on and they will study the situation/company. This is the only way your going to get anything accomplished. Enough complaints to the FBI and something will be done. You need to apply more effort than just this website.

Yes, I to began getting unrequested phone calls at all hours of the day, several times a day. The reps were rude and used vulgarity. The calls spanned about a month long and finally it stopped. After a month or so of not hearing from them, I thought it was over. I open the mailbox and here is a package from them with their pills and ### in it saying "Thank you for accepting our offer"... I went straight to the FBI here in my city.

I never gave Unified Services any of my information, of any kind... ever.

I received a phone call on the evening of Sept 12, 2007 from a company call Unified Services telling me that I was choosen to the winner of my state to receive a $1000.00 dollar online gift certificate and a three day-two night vacation toany one of my choice destinations within their package that and they will ship out thoses destinations for me today. Well, needless to say i fell for it because he tells me that he only needed my checking account number for them to take out for the shipping charges of $1.95 to send the package to me. I must admit I was excited about the idea of it all and fell for the scam hook, line and sinker.
Now, on or about two weeks ago which would be around the 1st of the month I get a package from them, but when I realized they meant on line shopping, I sealed the envelope up and drove around the corner and handed it to my mailman, thinking foolishly that would be the end of it because he said I had ten days to return the package...Needless, to say I got the surprise and horror of my life to see on the 12th of October after my daughter put a hundred dollars in my account to cover my life insurance policy these dogs, had taken not 1.95 but $149.80 out of my account. I have since found out that I am not the only victim but rather there have been over 582 victims and to make matters worst, this company is located in Las Vegas, with representative using American names but sounding like a man with a very thick Indian accent Please take these people down and stop them from getting rich off of poor peolple (seniors) like myself and hundreds of future victims.

Unified Services conned my husband. An Indian man called and promised my husband a variety of services. A few weeks later $149.50 was taken out of my account. I contacted the company and immediately canceled any services that my husband signed up for. They assured me no more money would be taken out of my account. Behold, $51.94 was taken out on the 30th of June. I am so mad I don't know what to do. I don't have money to give these people for services I don't have from them. I am at the point of closing my checking account. I need help getting my money back. They would have never ripped me off. I know a scam when I hear one. I never give out my checking account or any of my personal numbers over the phone or online. These people need to be stopped from taking advantage of people who don't know any better.

They call you and have all of your information. Then they tell you that you have won a 1,ooo.00 dollar shopping spree and a 3 day vacation, the voice on the phone was of a different decent, so I could barely understand the guy. I told him I shouldn't have to give him my checking number or routing number that if I won something they didn't need that stuff. He argued with me nicely and stated that he just needed to verify that I had a checking account and assured me that even if they wanted to they could not take any money out of our account. They said my package would be at my doorstep in 2-3 business days, this if the 3rd day so I tried calling the numbers he gave me, I asked for his direct number, customer service number and I wanted to get a confirmation number, all of which he gave me. Today when I tried calling the numbers, they were conveniently not in use. So I came online looking for this business,I am glad I did so, there are so many complaints on them for scamming people out of money, I have caller ID, and I have the number that he called me from, can't that number be traced? Isn't our technology that good? I have caught this in time, my husband withdrew all our money out of our checking account. We now have to go close our account and open up another one, it's the only way to be guaranteed that nobody will withdraw money out, please be on the lookout, I am going after these people.

this call is not real. an offer for a free 3 day 2 night package plus a $1000 dollar shopping free is all. scam. while looking up information it has been found that these telemarketers use some tactic to make there phone number appear as if they are calling from the United States. but based on studying the caller, I believe they seem to call from somewhere out in India. they request for bank account number. I strongly urge not to provide such information. also, do to the ways of approving such transfer all they need is a "yes" answer from the person receiving the call. for defense in a court hearing, they will manipulate the recorded call to be used in their favor.

I received the caller's name as Valerie Johnson employee number 1702. I also received a customer service number: [protected]. I will not contact this number and request any higher authority to verify any information I have provided as true or false. Onced I answered the phone I was not given any name to whom the company wanted to speak to and based to the information provided by this Valerie, could only assume that the call was for me.
how to get refund:

"EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: “we could not do anything for you” or “you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days”.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on ComplaintBoard.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form. "

Message to Unified Services: do not try to fight this for I am under the age of 18. if any word gets out, you just made telemarketing to an underaged person which I believe is illegal in the United States or else the caller would not have asked during call. all numbers have been traced and revealed your true location and official number thanks to someone who went undercover into the company which is not registered nor licensed. this is not officially proven as correct and is only a rumor. so for your sake, hope this information provided about your company is incorrect and has not accidentally been released to the media Sunday May 06, 2007.

Everday I receive atleast 5 phone calls from [protected]. They say that you won $1000, and want my checking account information. I told them to stop calling me, but they wont.

I was selected by way of god. For a $1000 online shopping spree and a 3 day 2 night vacation to a place of my choice from a list of vacations spots. All I have to do is give them my checking acct. number and information for a $1.95 shipping costs. I refuse to give information over the phone. I went from talking to Jennifer John Id# 3105 to Susan ID# 1479 to Robert ID# 535. All of which were trying desperately to get my checking information. They gave me a to call back [protected] on caller ID showed up with number [protected]. The have been calling everyday for the last 2 weeks at all times of the day. Even called on holidays and Sundays. The last call was at 11pm. Most of these calls I did not answer. The first one I requested to be removed from calling list. After 12 more phone calls I answered to see what it was about and that is when the above conversation took place. I had a really hard time under standing anything said because of the strong India accent. The call ended when the man became very upset and yelling at me that I was wasting their time and was rude for not giving them my information. I hung up on them after I stated for the 20th time to remove me from their calling list.

This company has called me 6 times now in two days. All the callers are Indian and claim they are giving Free $5,000.00 Government Grants that you never have to pay back.

I have requested all of them to take me off their list and to discontinue calling my cell phone. I managed to get a good phone number from them.

[protected]. This company reps many products, all of which I expect are scams. There must be a way to report these people legally but I'm not sure how.

A representative with a very strong Indian accent contacted me with knowledge that I had been interested in a loan. Days prior, I had searched for a home equity loan. The rep stated that he could connect me with companies that could get me a loan up to $1,500. I stated that since we needed a loan for $5,500, there was no point in us talking any further. He told me about several of his products and that he could get me a trial offer and help me get my needed funds. He talked very fast and the accent was very strong, making it difficult to understand at times. I told him that I was not interested, thanked him, and politely hung up. Moments later, his "supervisor" called back, with a strong Indian accent, and restated everything that the prior rep had said. He said several times, not to worry, no additional funds; just a small $1.95 would be drafted from my account for shipping and handling of this product. "Not to worry," he said, I could cancel after receiving the product at no additional charge. The numbers that the rep gave me to cancel this "trial offer" were only recordings, and I was unable to talk to an actual person so that I could stop the entire transaction. I never even received the package that they said they would send out, not that I wanted it. A month later, yesterday, my account was drafted $149.80, without my permission. The memo on the electronically printed check (that I did not sign) stated the company's name, Unified Services, and a toll free number [protected]). I called the number and got only a pre-recorded message linking me to info on each product that I "bought." These charges were not authorized, only $1.95 was to be drafted. Every penny in my account, which I share with my husband, is needed. We are newlyweds who are just starting out. Losing $150 is huge for us right now. I am in the process of contacting my bank, my states attorney general (NC), Nevada's attorney general, the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, any other reporting agency I can find, and the bank to which the fraudulently drafted funds were deposited, The Village Bank. Surely, there bank would like to know that one of their clients is running a scam on hard working American citizens.

Unified Services states in several of their responses to the complaints that I have seen on this website that the terms are clearly explained and that if consumers actually tried their products, they would be pleased. If the terms were clearly outlined, there would not be so many complaints on this website, the BBB, and other reporting agencies. And, I never received their product, so how can they say I would be pleased with it. I will be demanding a refund, and if my illegally drafted funds are not returned, I will consider seeking legal counsel in reference to this matter. Luckily, my answering machine recorded a portion of this conversation, and I can use this to show that I was not informed that $149.80 would be taken from my account, only $1.95.
