An attempt made to purchase a misleading product offering listing "Instant Access" to an online product. When processing the transaction the company debited twice for the elusive product from my bank account. I contacted my bank and spoke with William (wg8751) who verified both transactions with ID no. 221401 payable to Job Agency and 221244 payable to V.P.L. D-8 Job 8662192080job. I tried calling customer service with his agency at time of transaction approximately 9:00 MST discovering the CS office allegedly closed. I called back a 7:30 AM MST only to be told it did not occur. I ask to speak with a supervisor, and subsequently denied.
When asking for contact information at corporate level of alleged business still denied.
I called my bank “Bank of the West “(1-800-488-2265) and requested the charges be disputed forcing me to cancel my debit card ending in 1066 to ensure protection of myself.
Michelle the supervisor with Bank of the West stated she would forward an affidavit for my signature and ordered a new debit card approximately 7-10 business days.
These people are attempting to collect monies from consumers who in good faith presume to have a valid offer. The tactic used most is bait and switch along with false advertising in an attempt to gain money from the consumer through Internet transfer.
Something needs to be done to stop this type of activity and force these companies to comply with federal banking laws when asking for monies over the internet.
We later discovered additional complaints against this company via other sites of which I am listing : After the fact there was considerable discovery regarding similar transactions http://www.complaintsboard.com
