Description

I called the wrong number by mistake see previous notes. They asked how the could help me and I ask them why they would send me a $50gift card that expired in less than 2 weeks. They apologized and said no problem they would transfer $50 to my checking account. I was transferred several times They gave me a confirmation # 24040216101620 name was Mike. Had me install an app on my phone don't remember what it was as I have deleted it as soon as I hung up from them. They asked for my checking account and I ask why they didn't use something like zelle. They said I would see the number money in my account in just a few minutes. They kept having to repeat something and wanted me to then open my computer and my checking account on my computer. I got nervous so I told them forget it I didn't want my money. And hung up. They kept calling me back I didn't answer. While I was on the phone there was a background commercial going and they told me to ignore it. 4/4 I got debited with a check #92176 for 3.49. pay to the order of ID Guard LLC a/c 2000685. I called the customer service # on the check and told them I wanted my money back 888-370-1687. He said I had a welcome packet coming in the mail and I couldn't cancel but I had to call back by 5/7 to cancel otherwise I would be billed $100. I told him that I would be reporting him and hung up.
