Do NOT give your BANK ACCT INFO - this is a SCAM!

I received a call from Adam almost immediately upon posting a shipping request on an online "bulletin board". He wanted my bank account info so once I signed the contract he would be able to deduct the $150 fee. Once I read the contract and saw the small print that basically said they could do nothing and still not have to refund the fee I decided to stay away. I DID NOT SIGN the contract that Adam had emailed me and politely emailed him back the same day saying that I would not be going with them after all. 6 days later they stole $150 from my bank account without authorization. I called my bank but it was too late to do anything about it. Luckily I have a lawyer friend that works for our company who is going to help me go after these scam artists. If I had signed the document then it would be a little harder road but without a signature they have nothing to stand on - it's outright theft. I am also going to do what a previous person on here did (which I am posting below). This company has gone under different names as well. They will hopefully need to change their name again when we're done with them :) Will keep the board posted on our legal action.

They will ask you to fill out the carrier inquiry form at www.fedservicecorp.com first then they will email you further paperwork but feel free to call and ask for instructions and let them know what has happened to you as well.

5.The BBB, most people think of this first however they really do not take any action, all their site is for is warning other customers of bad service. I personally have not bothered with the BBB I want more definiative action.

The more consumers who report this asshole the better chance we have of closing them down!! Please do not let him keep your $$$ and do nothing about it!!! If you need additional help please email me. I'd also appreciate it if you let me know that you reported them, I'd like to keep track of how many people he has scammed as of lately for law suit purposes. IF they do report you to collections you CAN SUE THEM! What they are doing is ILLEGAL and is plain and simple CONSUMER FRAUD!
