$ 99.00 was withdrew from my Banco Popular account on December 18, 2009 using check number 14334
I never authorized Banco Popular (my Bank) or Platinum Online Group to withdraw money from my account.
Because of that Banco Popular charged me $30.00 for overdraft. The total $129.00 was deduct from my account.
Give back my $99.00 and pay to my Bank $30.00 for the overdraft they charged me or I will take legal action!

Platinum took $99.00 from my account without my authorization. I am now overdrawn. I have been out of work for almost 2 years and my unemployment has run out and I'm working part-time at Macys earning $7.75 an hour. I have tried to get some answers but only get an answering service. Has anyone gotten their money back? I am now overdrawn with no money to get me through the weekend.

Platinum Online Group took money from my bank account after being told to not to do it by phone place ing me in the negative balance of $137.take money when told not to. They say they are protect us but I question their methods of protection when it leaves my account in the negative and they don't listen to the people they are supposedly protecting. If they don't give me my money back my lawyer will handle it for me and maybe they will learn what it means to really listen to the average person when being told no.

They took $99.00 out of my account causing an overdraft and the bank charged me $35.00, and I didn't order anything from them. I want my money refunded

OMG, no wonder you got taken for! You post an image on a check with you name, address and all your bank info.
Would not be shocked if you come back next week and tell us all that you got taken again.. Some people just don't learn.
Your best thing to do right now after posting that image is to CLOSE that account and open another. From looking at things, you didn't get scammed you ALLOWED yourself to get scammed. Hope you learn from this and after doing some research about " platinum online group "
your time would be better spent making a new account and closing the one you have now and go on with your life. If you keep it open they will go after you again and no there is nothing you can do. Another hint to some of the other members here is that if you have been having charged taken out of your debit card or credit card and you bank will not do anything about it, hang up and cut your card in half then call them back and report it stolen. They send you a new one with new numbers.. End of problems.. Good luck with all that..

Platinum Online Group deducted $99.49 from my checking account which was not authorized. This deduction created an overdraft for which I was charged $34.00. I want platinum online group to credit my checking account $99.49 + $34.00 overdraft fee which totals
$133.49. If this is not done within the next 24 hours, I will proceed with legal action.

They took $99.00 from my bank account with what they listed as "pre-authorized check" which is not true. I contacted a while back and at the end of the conversation I told them I wanted nothing from them. Now this. I need this money back. Can anybody tell me what to do? My email is sonnyteague@hotmail.com, phone is [protected] and my name is Hubert Teague.

I had $99 taken out of my bank account with a electronic check that I did not authorize! I have been trying to contact the lowlife [censor] that has done this to me and so many others. I have only been able to contact a third party answering service. I also got hit by a another [censor] named Top Dog at almost the same time! Both hit my bank within an hour of each other. I have had over $250.00 taken from me, that is including overdraft charges! My rent is due no later than tomorrow and there is no way I can get my money back by then! These people should not be able to do this. With all these other complaints, why are they still able to be on line and operating?

I have been having them steel money from my bank account, by them sending checks to my bank saying i owe 99.49 cents when I did not sign up for anything. So i took this to the FBI online, if you do this they will have to do something about your stolen money. Here is the website http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

I had an unauthorized charge on my account. This company had withdrawn $99.oo from my account. They some how used an electronic check. They apparently don't even know my last name has it is three words and they only used the last part of my last name. Anyway I have made 3 email attempts (those that went through) and the countless e-mail attempts that did not go through. They for some reason keep directing you to a so called operator or to leave them an email, which by the way if you leave an e-mail it will tell you that they will contact you within 24-48 hours. I am currently still waiting for a call back. So since I had no response today I decided to call seven times. Now for some strange reason it sounds as if I keep getting the same operator. However, I got three different names Cindy no last name, Abigail no last name and a Jessi Lee. When I ask to speak to a manager I got told there is no manager there. This person said that the manager is located in the Customer Service Center, which is no where near where we were leaving messages. When asked if this was a legitimate company and if they were listed under Better Business Bureau (BBB)I was told yes. I located them under the better business bureau but I had to go to this BBB website http://www.goldengatebbb.org . They are listed but is not accredited . I filed a complaint. While filing the complaint I attempted the last 2 of the 7 calls I made to them today. The first of those calls they made it seem like there were interference. The last call they actually hung up on my while I was still requesting to speak with someone.

I have a question this FBI address is it legit? I am only asking because I have been getting e-mail from the so called FBI and when I write back to the address I tend to get the mailordemon or whatever it's called so I am just wondering. I want to report it because it seems like they are doing this a lot and it is not fair.

I was trying to get approved for a payday loan online and this indian guy called me he said to confirm my information for the lender but instead he started to tell me I was approved for some kind of credit limit of 2500 dollars. I declined and said I only wanted a payday loan. I was not approved for the pay day loan. So I my paycheck is direct deposted into my account. When I cheeked it on payday 99.00 was missing and I was charged 29.00 from my bank because there were no funds in my account at the time the check posted. I have reported this to my bank and made a police report. This company stole my money and they need to pay.

company with out authorization, has attempted 2 times in febuary. the first time was feb.2/2011 attempted to steal $99.00 from my account, which there was only approx $20.00( so why would i knowingly tell some one to take $99.00 when it wasn't thier)and my credit union charged me a nsf fee of $35.00. the second time was feb.16/2011 tried to steal again $99.00(again account bal. was lower) which again my credit union charged me another nsf fee of $35.00. have tried numerous attempts to contact to get my info removed to no avail. evey time you get a message taker who will have a customer service rep contact you and they never do. the company is that shiesty that they don't list a company address, or any good phone numbers to call, always a message taker answers, ask for a manager they refuse and hang up on you. some one needs to put a stop to this scamming people now! WE NEED HELP

i called and emailed this company to cancel my membership. A charge of $99.49 was deducted from my account on yesterday. I spoke with the message operator and she said she would pass my information on to someone else. No one has returned my call. I want a refund of my money. This is a scam. I will be reporting this company to the BBB.

Usa Credit/ Platinum Online Group withdrew 99.49 from my MECU bank account after USA Credit claimed to have approved me for a loan. My account was overdrawn and charged $28 dollars in overdraft fees on March 2, 2011. Then another check was submitted for 14 on March 22, 2011 resulting in another overdraft fee of $28. As a result $9.10 was transfered from my savings account to my checking to try to cover the insufficient funds by my bank. On March 2, 2011 my account balance was- $126.92, on March 22, 2011 my account balance was -$168.92, after the money was transfered from my savings account my balance is now -$159.82. I have already filed a dispute with myt bank and I am requesting that the money as well as the overdraft fees be repaid to my account. Also I have searched the BBB for this company under both names and they are not listed. I was under the impression that I was applying for a loan not a scam.
