This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Beware of this company - UNIFIED SERVICES! These people call my house every other day this past week wanting me to accept their $1000 on-line free coupons with 3 days to a trip to hell.

I told each rep that called me that I was not interested, and to take me off their phone list, and that I am on a Do Not Call list.

Well this morning was the last straw. I had "Jim" from UNIFIED SERVICES calling me from somewhere in Nevada with a number of 775.678.5678 (which by the way if you call that number it's a dummy number - I talked to an Verizon Operator about this and she told me that it's telemarketing's way of getting around the caller id's and the Do Not Call list) - any - so "Jim" was making his little scam speech deal to me over the phone with his Indian accent (I take it this place is actually in India not Nevada), and I told "Jim" that I wanted to speak to his Supervisor. I was very polite and friendly with Jim, and Jim was puzzled and asked why? I said (lying to a scammer) that I wanted to let his Supervisor know that he was very polite and nice and doing an excellent job. So Jim took the bait, and got Jean Seaford (another Indian accent) his Supervisor on the phone. The tone in my voice was not nice. I explained to Jean (if that's her real name) that I did not appreciate the fact that I had 3 prior calls from UNIFIED SERVICES, and told each one not to call me and take me off the phone list. Then I continued to tell Ms. Seaford that I had her name, the company's name, Jim's name, the other Rep's name - the reason for the call and was going to report them to the FCC about this scam.

All Ms Seaford could do was apologize to me and "God Blessing Me" and told me that they would not call me again. Well, we'll see on Monday or Tuesday -

Please people don't give out your account numbers over the phone, there are SCAMMERS from the scam of the Earth wanting' your money! Be careful!

I have read all this complaints, good to know all this.

See I m a Indian Guy. I was Working in this Process. But We never know what they do. Our Job Is to Convince the customer and collect the Banking Information For the $1.95 in regards for the shipping and handling charge For the free $1000 online shopping spree and the vacation. Thats All. We Don't know actually what they do afterwards. I was Working for this company called Itronics Info Solution which is Under Unified Services. Peoples Don't feel Bad. I can Understand Your Situation. But at that time i Was Doing my Job. My Friends are still Working there. What I Can Suggest you all is, accept the offers and when they ask your account numbers, Give some fake account numbers. In this, You will also be in safer side and employees working there will also be in safer side Because they also have to make sales like this.

Thank You

Unified Services has made unauthorized transaction of $149.80 from my account without knowing to me. I don't know how they got the information of my bank account details.

I remember once that somebody has called and told me that they I have won some amount of money for paying taxes from IRS and took the information about my account details and informed me that the amount will be deposited into my account within 2 hours but exactly after 2-3 weeks Unified Services has done electronic transfer from my account of $149.80 without knowing to me.

So be careful with Unified Services, its a fraud company and somebody has to do something to close these kind of scams.

Regards,
Sri.

I definetly agree to this complaint, the same thing just happened to me, I just recieved my bank statement, and i saw a withdrawl of $149.80. I knew that i had not spent $149.80 on anything, I called the bank and they told me that the withdrawl is from a company call Unified Services. And all of a sudden it popped into my head that someone had called me from this company and told me that i would have a free trial period all I had to pay was $1.95 for the shipping of the information. Well yeah i recieved all of the information it wasnt much it was just a bunch of papers and a bottle of weight loss pills, it also had somthing in there for a free vacation. The first mistake I made was that I gave them my account number to withdrawl the $1.95 shipping and handling. Well after I gave him my account number I changed my mind and told them that I didnt want this anymore. THEN WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT I DIDNT WANT THIS ANYMORE HE WOULDNT ACCEPT NO FOR AN ANSWER. So I hung up on him and he continued to call and call probably like 10 to 15 times, they will not give up. My advise to those of you who are reading this is that when people call you and you dont know the number dont answer or answer and tell them you are not interested. They will sound promising and tell you that you will not be charged for anything else other than the shipping and handling. DO NOT EVER GIVE SOMEONE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER OR CREDIT CARD NUMBER THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW.

I received the same telephone call today (9/29/07) as everyone else, but refused to give my checking account number. All the criteria as mentioned in everyone elses posts matched identically, including the thick Middle Eastern accent by men who had very American names. However, I was never told that there were any free trials of anything.

I received this call at my place of business, a small bar & grill located in Louisiana. I am from, and make my home in, Florida - and this move to Louisiana is only temporary - therefore I have no permanent address here. The telephone number and address that the man gave were linked to the business - however, the address was slightly different than what is the normal business address. I realized that the address the man recited to me was the exact way I had given my address to my new checking account that I had opened up last week at Regions bank. I specifically gave Regions bank a different address, so that it appeared to be an apartment address - as opposed to a commercial address, since this was for my personal checking account. The only way that Unified Services could have that physical address in the strange unique manner I gave it out, was to get it from Regions Bank. Therefore, my next step is to contact Regions and find out why they are selling their customer information.

For the people who have unfortunately been scammed out of their $150 - you all should talk amongst each other and find out what common links in life you have. This may lead you to the source that is selling your personal information. I encourage you to stop your business dealings with any companies who you find to sell your personal information to such obviously unstable/illegal companies such as Unified Services.

This evening, (10/01/2007) I also received a call from the so-called company Unified Services. I spoke to a woman who had a thick foreign accent. What pissed me off the most was that I told the woman repeatedly that I was not interested and that I didn't know why she'd called because I am on the Do Not Call List. She told me that they weren't a sales company, Bull! And then to further my frustration, she kept raising her voice above mine when I repeated that I was NOT interested. I don't like to be rude to telemarketers but this one went to far, needless to say I hung up!

This company has continually called me every night (late at night, when most people are going to sleep)! Every time I speak with this company I ask them to stop calling me, remove my phone number from their soliciting list and quit harassing my family and I; the last time I spoke with a representative (Bryan?), he told me "this was not a sales call, but rather a "Business promotion I had been selected for." Sales or Promotions, when I have to practically beg them to stop calling me and bothering my family and I, it has gone too far, I don't know where to start to have this stopped. Hopefully this will add to the many other complaints that have been filed and they will begin either training their employees better, or the company will begin better practices in polices and procedures. I work in customer service, actually also in a call center environment, and we also go through federal guidelines training in regards to entertainment media sales and the way I have been harassed and spoken too, breaks the threshold that is set for customer service representatives. And lastly to comment that when you consider the word customer service, I do want to be a serviced customer for this company, so there should be no reason why they still are calling me...

Unified Services is an international scamming business based in India. Therefore, look in your phone book (usually in the very front under "important phone numbers") and call the number for your local FBI annex. Explain to them whats going on and they will study the situation/company. This is the only way your going to get anything accomplished. Enough complaints to the FBI and something will be done. You need to apply more effort than just this website.

Yes, I to began getting unrequested phone calls at all hours of the day, several times a day. The reps were rude and used vulgarity. The calls spanned about a month long and finally it stopped. After a month or so of not hearing from them, I thought it was over. I open the mailbox and here is a package from them with their pills and ### in it saying "Thank you for accepting our offer"... I went straight to the FBI here in my city.

I never gave Unified Services any of my information, of any kind... ever.

I am including the link for the FBI reports. Do not be worried about filling out a complaint. You are in no trouble. The FBI will help you.

Go to: https://tips.fbi.gov/

Unified Services is a dangerous network of scam artists with international origins. Gaining unauthorized access to personal bank accounts, home addresses, and credit information. You have not asked for the terror these people have brought upon you. Neither have I. However, you have to fight it back or they will win.

I wish you the best because I know what your going threw... or will be if you don't attack now.

I have received at least 20 phone calls from this company on my cell phone (AT&T) within 2 weeks. Each time I ask them to either remove the number from their list or to never call again, to no avail. Every caller has a heavy accent and I have been called names, threatened to be sued (!) and cussed at for being annoyed and asking them why they don't comply with me demanding to stop calling my cell phone. The last comment from the guy was "Why you bark like dog, ###!"

I would love to either sue these people (haha) or strangle one of them, not sure where to complain to do something against them.

Anybody who knows how to get rid of these people and make them pay for violating telemarketing laws, let me know.

I too received these phone calls and they had my name in FULL and my address. They stated that all they needed was my credit card number. I refused to give it to them, they insisted that they were not going to take any money out, all it was for was verification purposes. I only gave them four fake digits. They sent me there package like everyone else gets and I promptly canceled everything, fearing a bill in the mail, and maybe there knowledge of more of my personal info. They were very polite and canceled my pills, Internet, and calling card. By the way, the two people I talked to were actually from the same company, and were VERY American sounding. The first person I talked to though that called me from a 5-digit number on my cell phone was Indian sounding, and told me that the 1,000 dollar shopping spree was good anywhere at anytime. I asked and he said I could use it at ANY store in the USA for ANY items I wanted. This was a lie, it is an Internet only gift certificate good only at one of two web sites, I could only get to one. By the way, you pay the shipping, it says, and guess how you pay for that? I plan on contacting these people and not going any furtherer with this "shopping spree."

Thank you for your time, oh and I subscribe to "Metro PCS," and gave my info at the "Home and Garden Show," Is this the same for anyone else. I would like to find some similarities between us all.

I'm strongly agree with the complaint. My wife got the same phone call for gifts and all and they asked for the cheque number and after that they send one packet with some pills saying that as a sample. I even called @[protected] to check and they says your name is removed from database and removal number is 655825. But yesterday UNIFIED SERVICES charged for $149.8, that is just a fraud.

I received a phone call on the evening of Sept 12, 2007 from a company call Unified Services telling me that I was choosen to the winner of my state to receive a $1000.00 dollar online gift certificate and a three day-two night vacation toany one of my choice destinations within their package that and they will ship out thoses destinations for me today. Well, needless to say i fell for it because he tells me that he only needed my checking account number for them to take out for the shipping charges of $1.95 to send the package to me. I must admit I was excited about the idea of it all and fell for the scam hook, line and sinker.
Now, on or about two weeks ago which would be around the 1st of the month I get a package from them, but when I realized they meant on line shopping, I sealed the envelope up and drove around the corner and handed it to my mailman, thinking foolishly that would be the end of it because he said I had ten days to return the package...Needless, to say I got the surprise and horror of my life to see on the 12th of October after my daughter put a hundred dollars in my account to cover my life insurance policy these dogs, had taken not 1.95 but $149.80 out of my account. I have since found out that I am not the only victim but rather there have been over 582 victims and to make matters worst, this company is located in Las Vegas, with representative using American names but sounding like a man with a very thick Indian accent Please take these people down and stop them from getting rich off of poor peolple (seniors) like myself and hundreds of future victims.

I to received the call from unified services about 3 weeks ago, and I to thought it was to good to be true but still did it I thought what the heck its only $1.95 if i dont get it or its bull I am out out 1.95 then after 2 weeks I realized that had not took the money of course I only had $4.00 in my account. Then Friday I put $200.00 in my account and they took $150.00 out but I didnt know till this morning when I looked at my account and not I $200.00 in the hole. Its like they watched my account till the money was there then went for it.

Anyways I called my bank Wachovia they were very nice and helpful even heard of them before, so they put me through to the dispute and disclaimer department since I did not tell them to take $149.80 only $1.95. (dont talk to the fraud department they cant help only if your number is stole if you give them the account number but they take more than they should go to the dispute department) so I explained what happened once again very polite to me and they sent me to a bank investigator and we talked and what not the back it gonna do a reverse transaction to return the money and take the bank fees off to get my account back to normal,but he said make sure on Monday I close the account out and get a new.

But see this is were all who has been scammed come in, see the bank helping ain't enough i plan to call the company Monday and if they do not do something for the hell they have caused me I plan to go to the newspaper the bbb and the news stations and anyone else that will listen and I encourage everyone else to threaten them to and make sure they know the game is up,the longer people let them get away with this the more they will do it.So please do the right thing there next victim could be your family or friends. So dont let there be a next. Thanks for your time!

Hello I am here to comp[lain about this unified service, there was a 149.80 charge on my account. I call the 1-800 number to find out that I supposedly signed up for a 10 day free trial with three companies. Now first of all I dont give out my info on the phone like that. They said I received a package with a cancel in 10 days trial or be charged for all three services. Well I didnt receive no pkg. they say if I cant prove its fraudulent then I cant have my money back cause the 10 day trial is up. But what dont make since to me is you can cancel the service but you cant get your money back. 149.80 for services I never heard of never see and surely never had or used! I am contacting my bank today to fill out a fraudulent charge paper. If that dont work then I am definitely going one step further to get my money back. This business has to liar and cheaters. Taking ppls money and keeping it weather you cancel or not 149.80 for three services. I never used one service so how do u get charged? Well be careful not to make this mistake. Never give ur information on the phone. Even if it sounds good. Cause you will be cheated just like Unified services cheated me.

THANK A LOT anyway this whole world is corrupted but they (unified stilling services) make a check of 99 dollars without my permission kind of funny they decided hey lets get this looser he's next, my issue is how in the living corrupt world unified services got my bank to accept the check,and my bank didn't call me to notify me and my own crazy name was writing in the check in top of that, my Mom was right I should listen also when I heard that girl talking from customer service for unified she sounded ghetto like she didn't care about anybody but I got people working at the case looking to score big, I will get my money back no matter what and this jokers will pay for their crime, they think because they're in Nevada that is too far to get near them or something but what goes around come around.

My phone service is through US Cellular and I bank through Chase, so I really don't think that phone carriers and banks have anything to do with this. I believe they are getting their information from an internet site that maybe we have entered our information. So far I have received 2 calls this morning from [protected]. Normally I don't answer the phone for numbers I don't know especially from 900 numbers. As I recall they are the numbers that come from sex lines and fortune teller lines. Well, I decided to look up this number on the net to see if I could find out where it is coming from and that is when I found all these comments from many people who are getting the same calls. I am glad I did this so next time they call, I will answer and let them know that I have to low down on them and they need to stop calling.

Same thing happened to me and when I tried to talk to those people, they just hung phone on me. They also didn't tell any reason for why did they took out money from my account. Though I already complaint this to my bank, but I am not sure whether bank will be return money or not.

He never told me that he would charge me 149.But then $14980 on 7/30/2007 and & 69.93 on 9/26/2007. I realized this only after I was charged 69.93 on 10/26 and as there was no money in my account, I was charged for overdraft. I have never used this service. So please look into this matter as soon as possible and refund my money.

I am a student and i am really in a very bad financial state.

Everday I receive atleast 5 phone calls from [protected]. They say that you won $1000, and want my checking account information. I told them to stop calling me, but they wont.

I was also taken by this phone scam from Unified Services. I was asked to pay $1.95 for shipping and handling of a package containing some free trial products. I fell for it and am now having to try to get things resolved. Unfortunately because I acted on this late my bank (Citibank) had already processed the payment. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

So it turns out the only way to get your money back is to promise to post that you did on whatever forum you exposed this company on!

This company has been calling me several times a day as well. I only answered the phone once - yesterday. No one responded when I said hello, and so I hung up immediately. Today, I googled the 900 number that appeared on my caller ID [protected]) and was led to several message boards indicating the company in question was United Services.

My number has been registered with the National Do Not Call List since October 11, 2007. Most telemarketers are required to stop calling within 31 days of the date the number is registered. I have filed a complaint with the National Do Not Call Registry as well as the Massachusetts Attorney General today (12/25/07) in an attempt to get the calls to stop. Tomorrow, once my cell phone provider opens again after the holiday, I'll be calling their customer service department to try to block this number.

The best way to contend with a bullying company such as this one is to nip it in the bud before it has a chance to get you. If any family or friends tell you that they've been receiving weird calls from a 900 number, tell them not to answer the phone and get some complaints filed quickly.

Sorry - I meant UNIFIED Services, not UNITED Services. Although, frankly, I've seen both names.
