866-235-7681

I too looked at my checking account this morning, and saw an unknown debit for $30  I was pissed.
I called the 1 866 235 7681 number which they listed themselves as Payment Assistance.  I spoke to some foreign lady on the phone who wouldn't let me get a word in, she kept rambling on about a membership I never signed up for. I told her I want my money back, in the meantime, she kept throwing a bunch of offers at me till, finally, I ended up yelling at her because, she wouldn't shut up.
I said, what part of that don't you understand, I want a refund not a loan!!!  I asked her how she got my information and she said I signed up on their payday site.  I asked  her, what site? and she said,
preapprovedadvances.com.  I can't find any site with that name so she's full of sht!!!  I was told my refund would be processed and I'd have to wait 10 to 20 days..I went to my bank and filled out an signed an affadavit which will take them up to 10 days to research and refund my $30.  I am definately getting a new checking account number.  I am also, reported them to the us attorney generals office as well as the federal trade commision. Their is too much of this crap going on
online, it needs to stop!!!

they got me today for 30 dollars application fee to some fictitious payday loan company...scam..closed bank account opened a new one....do not give out your information to anyone .. ever especially on line

Call the AG in Nevada, woke up to a 30.00 withdrawl from them this morning, called my bank and got the number, then called them, got this rude broken english female trying to tell me it when i got a payday loan, i ask her did I get it through you, she said no, and then asked her why her company took out 30.00, she said it was because i used a lender finder site, i ask her which one, no straight answer, i told her i wanted my 30.00 back in my account, she then try to tell me i was approved for a 5000.00 line of credit, i said no, i want my 30.00 back, now she said it would take 3-7 days to refund, i said it took you one day to take it out, I then asked her if she had a sign document signed by me saying it was ok to take this 30.00 from my account, she said no, and went back into this speech about using a lender site, i then told her she stole the money and i will file charges with the police and AG's office, she then told me it must have been my husband who appiled for this of 9-23 at 3.30pm according to her, i told her there's no way, cause at that time my husband was traveling interstate 40 (truck driver) and we appiled for our payday loan on 9-16 and got it 9-19, nice try i told her, so then she gave me this confirmation number for my refund let's see if i get it back??

Here is the deal. They got your information most likely from a PayDay Loan Service. If you went in and submitted your information to a payday loan service then these scum suckers will sell off your information (Identity) to other services looking to buy prospects. I hear they get them for about a penny each.  I did submit info on one of these sites. I did NOT however accept any loans from anyone! This does not matter. If you submit your info it is sold to scum all of the world...not just in this country. I have had two calls from foreigners who told me that they will have me arrested and put away for a loan they say I took out  - which I did not. They continued to threaten me. I knew they were scammers. I googled the two law firms they said they were from and those law firms have alerts on their homepage for these individuals. Check out Harrison Law Firm. It goes on and on. They have threatened to physically harm people. They have your information - They will let you know they do. Do not reply with a yes or that is correct - EVER. If you do, your identity value on the market just went up - they verified you are a legitimate prospect. They just want you to get cash to them immediately....Never ever give them a dime. I got a call from a company asking me if I had a baby at home?? This company you are referring to with the number 1-866-235-7681 comes across much nicer...but they are in fact even worse. They will take from your account and tell you that you clicked on an accept button on a site for a loan to be approved and for that there was a $30 charge. They will tell you that you should have read the fine print in the terms of agreement. I asked for the site (loan service) that they partnered with on this-they gave me a site and guess what no terms of agreement- period. I called her back and told her to send me proof that I clicked. She would not. They use this to further confuse you and make your think that you clicked on a terms of agreement. I was given a bogus address for this company. Do not wait on them to refund - you will never see it. It is to keep you at bay so they can continue to steal from other victims. Go directly to your bank, check to see what fraud coverage you have (most banks will cover all of it), close your account, contact your State Attorney General's office. They will instruct you on further steps to take - as in filing report --- and othe tips. You will need to freeze or put alert on your credit. Basically, your identity has been stolen. You now will have to fight to protect it. I hope this helps.  Bottom line - do not pay any of them anything - do not offer any information on anything - if they want information for any reason - do not budge- they will sell it.

866-235-7681 took $30.00 from me. I did not make any transactions to this people. LET'S FIGHT THIS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY... REPORT THEM TO THE FBI!

payday sells your personal information to third parties

I called this number and a Jenny (overseas) advised me that they put .01, .02, .03 cents in my account to verify that my account was open - that they could deposit and withdraw from my account with no issue(s).  She said I had a payment assist account open from some payday loan site - which mind you I have never heard of.  I asked her to delete whatever account profile she had of mine; remove me and my information as I do not want to grant account access to anyone... that this was not an account requested by me.  Will see how that works out.

Guess I got luckier than most.  This morning I saw a strange $.03 deposit into my account and later there were three $.01 debits to the 866-235-7681 number.  I called my bank and advised that the charges were not authorized, transfered my funds to another account and froze that account.  I then contacted the number and was told that I had applied for a loan and this was a "test" to determine if the account was active.  I advised her that I had not applied for anything from them, that they were not authorized to access my account for any reason, and that I had frozen the account so they would not be able to process any more activity through the account.  I demanded that they remove all my information from their system and was finally told that my "subscription" was being cancelled and I would receive an e-mail confirming this.  I received the e-mail, and at least broke even - less the cost of my time messing with these jerks.  They go by several references: www.paymentassistance101.com   membershipcare.net    loan verification department   All of which are con artist and theives.

Today I checked my checking account on line only to find that someone had taken money out of my account.  I caught them at the first three transactions, which totaled only $.05, thank god!  When I called my bank they told me that they do that to verify that I have an accoiunt, open and active, then they will just continue to make transactions against it until they are stopped.
I called the company, who identified themselves as,  "Loan Verification Dept.".  I asked three times, "is that the actual name of your company?".  All three times I was told "yes".  They say they operate out of Nevada.  I received the name of three different companies that I applied for a payday loan with: 1.) www.yourloan101.com, 2.) www.preapprovedadvance.com, 3.) www.preapprovedloan.com.  I have never done business with any of them.  I have only had one payday loan on line and that was with Horizon Opportunities.

All of the people I talked to were foreigners, but all identified themselves by american names, such as, Peter, Debbie, Devin, etc.  I find it interesting that they all have the same accent that all of the other people running scams right now have.  What a bunch of crap!

I am going to my bank today to change account numbers, which is a great inconviencence to me, but it's all I can do to protect myself.

Sincerely,

Gaeyle Harris

they took $30.00 out of my account and i have no idea who they are.

They took $30 out of my account without authorization too... they said 5-7 days for my refund- if not their number will be posted all over the internet.  Someone needs to stop them! If I don't get my money back- it will be me!

I noticed this $30 taken from my account.  I called and was given a refund confirmation number and was told it would be refunded to my account with in 3-7 business days.  Make sure they e-mail it to you also.  The person I spoke to was Andrea R. 866-607-1071 or andrear@membershipcare.net. I did report them to the BBB and to the Federal Trade Commission.

My account is over drawn 107.00 and my bank gave me the same number and YES A DAMN LADY ANSEWED AND STUDDARD ALOT ...... Then my fiance called that number back and she kept askin him for info and he GAVE HER A EAR FULL AND TOLD HER THERE GOING DOWN... SO TOGETHER LETS STOP THIS [***].............. IT'S OUR COUNTRY.....

I think this was the result from applying for payday loans...after applying at a few places, they spammed the crap out of me. I am sure they also spammed out my bank info too...

same thing happen to me 30 dollars out my account so do they take it out again and i will not get another loan ofline again

Why r they trying taking money of my account

If you applied for any type of loan or provided your information to anyone on the internet that would be how.  This happened to me.  I just got off the phone.  I had to argue with the Guy who says his name is "Mike" to get a cancellation number.  I also have another company at 888-467-4349 doing the same thing.  They were much more gracious about giving me a cancellation #.  I contacted my bank and asked it be reversed and they refused.  They said there was nothing they could do about it because I "gave" them my information.  I sent letters to the bank stating otherwise and have been charged two NSF fees because my paycheck was not in the bank as yet. Just saying you may want to consider closing that account and being careful in future who you do business with.

The email address they gave me was https://paymentassistance101.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fdefault.aspx
Just thought you would like to know. They do not give you a check.  As long as they have your checking account they will continue to charge you. Be careful. My bank has been uncooperative.

Godd luck I am in a nightmare with this
