Roland and Hugo, sorry to hear of your travails. My hubby and I recent read Frank Abagnale's book, "Stealing Your Life," about identity theft. I know that isn't your problem, but one of the safeguards he lists is to NOT pay anything with a debit card, just because it is a direct link to your money. Very good book, which made us feel good because we are already being pretty darn careful with our personal info. Have a great day!

In our case my wife ordered what she thought were free samples, but didn't read the " fine print" which stated that if you are not satisfied with the product,to return it in 2 or 3 weeks. We went a couple of rounds over it. How can anything be FREE if they ask for payment info!!!!!!! Hugo Torbidoni -----Original Message----- From: Roland R.

When it came in my wife immediately called in and canceled it as the ads said you could. Well..........we got screwed. The company 'selling' the products continually bills our bank account-and even the bank officer tried to talk to them on the phone-and was blown off! It's been 8 months now and the charges are still coming on our monthly statement-BECAUSE the scam company has a way to get AROUND a block on the credit card-and have it auto- deducted straight from the account! Last month we told the bank to STOP it and get the state Attorney General's office in-this is WIRE FRAUD...and suddenly the monthly charge is coming from a new company in the UK! So Sue is up there at the bank closing down the account-our BUSINESS account...and if the bank can't prevent the spammer from hacking into the NEW account-we have to change banks. So...if any of you fell for the 'weight loss berry' scam-check your bank accounts, because I had put it on a credit/debit card-and the company knows how to get directly into YOUR bank account! My medications are working now so I won't do this again...but boy, am I in trouble with 'the boss' over this mess! Roland R.
