So i recently just had funds taken out of my checking account without my knowledge! I ordered a work from home data entry kit because i'm a stay at home mom and wanted to be able to earn some money while at home. Well after i ordered they had my checking information so they then took 3 seperate amounts from 3 different "companies" and I've looked them up and its a fraud. Everyone who has dealt with them says that when you ask for a refund they tell you 7 to 10 days but it never happens! I was wondering how you go about getting this money back and if its possible for a bank to reverse the charges beings they were taken illegally


Yes, it is possible, but you will need to go into your bank and fill out a formal dispute, ask to speak to the branch manager. You also need to file a complaint with the FTC and your Attorney General. You can do both online and print out the complaint for your records. It will also carry more weight if you take printed copies of the complaints with you to the bank.

I would think you would go to the bank first and see if they will reverse it. Contact the company and see if they will give you your money back. Next is to contact your attorney general, federal trade commission and the BBB.

What state are you in? If your state has consumer protection laws, you can sue them too. Massachusetts has a law and if you do it right you can sue them for up to 3 times the amount or $25 which ever is greater.

Thanks for all the help! and so quickly! for the first time ever ordering something online it sure has made it horrible. I'm actually from Iowa so I'll start checking what i can do and file some complaints with the FTC and Attorney General. This just happened yesterday and the first amount was taken out 2 days ago so I think my bank would be able to help
