Re: [Scam] Tenant Verified Scam

Due to me being naive and not knowing this is a scam I paid the $39.95 and registered. This morning logged in and sent a message wanting a contact number to speak to someone. They ACTUALLY responded:

Hi xxxxx,

If there is an issue it is quicker resolved via this helpdesk. TenantVerified's toll free number will show up on your credit card statement as 1.888.373.2455

Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

I called and someone answered. I told them they charged $3,995 to my credit card. He said "really? did the charge go through." I was so angry I hung up!!!! Didn't want to say too much because I wanted to give the number to police. These people stole money and act like they didn't know. Actually have a 888# which makes me wonder. They are just scamming a bogus service and making $39.95 off each person, and time to time steeling thousands. How in the world do people sleep at night?! Thankful for internet and how fast things getting around.......quicker to stop these individuals but seriously why don't these people get real jobs make money correct way. Start a business FINE but make the service real not half #$%.

Call your Credit Card company and report it as a fraudulent charge as they are scammers. Do not file the report you make as a disputed billing as it is pure fraud instead. Reporting it as a fraud charge is how you get the money charged back to your account. Don't contact the scammers further, just tell the Credit Card company that when you called they laughed at you about their charging right at 4 thousand dollars.

Also request at the same time a new Credit Card to replace your current card now that scammers have your Credit Card account info.

Don't forget calling FTC, Federal Trade Commission! These people are stealing, at the very least, lease information from a rental application (as was one of the scams I found) and at the most, a good amount of money from Tenant Verified. That is clearly consumer fraud and that is one of the reasons we have the FTC. They helped me and the worst the scammer did was link me to a bunch of creepy photos of knives, guns and exposed body parts.

The fact that they could pull that off technically at a Google web site, chose those subjects and did it so quickly, tells me dealing directly with these people and being confrontational, like I was in my email, may not be the thing to do. But the last posting was full of great suggestions!
