ON 06/06/08 USN charged our bank for $225.92 , called the 800 number and just got a voice message...My bank just called and said that "Southfield Group"= USN does business with DHL... I still did not authorize this charge!
Filing fraud charges...

POST NO. 1164 DRAFT MAN CIVIL (B) NO. 1164251

This has also happened to my companies account, only they are using different names.  We have been hit twice, one by a company named Liberty Management and the other was APC

No call, but our account was charged 07/29/08 for $349.96. Everything else the same as everyone else. The proofers at our bank actually got in a bit of trouble for allowing this 'check' through, as it had the wrong company name on it, no check number, and neither of our signators signed it.

It's so tempting to call them, leave a message, and see if they try their scam again. The fraud department at the bank could give us no information, but said they had hit several accounts the previous week.

This is from www.internetscam.wordpress.com . . . "Montreal scam artists Garo Manoug and Vatche Manoug, doing business under names including National Business Information Exchange, Inc., NBIE, yourcompanylisting.com, Corporate Information Exchange, Inc. and Cinex, Inc."

I have to wonder if it's the same brothers/family that have been scamming U.S. businesses for quite some time now. We've received scam invoices from all of these companies.

did you get account cleared

how did you clear this matter i just realized it was done to me

I eventually found their website- they were obviously hoping to be confused with other similarly-named legitimate companies (their site is the one with the "globe" at the front and center and it has USN at its heart). Their domain is registered through Domains By Proxy in Arizona- which seems to be the registrar of choice for ACH (Automated Clearing House) scammers. I am certain that a lot of these bad guys use a lot of the resources that are marketed towards small companies (virtual call centers, etc).

I called USN's number on July 15 and left a message on their voice mail and they never returned my call (they couldn't even be bothered to give me the run around and follow their breadcrumbs through five different companies/aliases/accomplices like so many of their brethren usually do). So I made my trek over to my bank a few days ago to fill out an affidavit and discovered that USN charged my account again (for the same amount) on the same day that I left my message! Seems to be a new ploy- charge someone, get them to call and show that they are a viable business (still generating an income), and then hit them up as many times as you can before they 1)discover the charges and/or 2) fill out an affidavit. These people always seem to have a Canadian address- helping to give Canadians a bad name! I will be very happy when the FTC finally catches up to these scumbags!

Charged our company bank account 7/24/08 in the amount of $349.96. It is listed as USN however it stands for United Shipping Network. United Shipping Inc. has a not on thier web site saying this is fraud and are not affiliated with USN. DHL also has a statement on their web site saying they are not affiliated with this company.

This number charged my bank account of 7-16-2008 for 349.96.  Called number on check and get no results.  contacted bank and started fraud action.

Charged my bank account 6/6/2008 for 225.92. Bank statement attributes charge to a "USN". It sure isn't the Navy! Web searching the phone number hasn't netted me anything yet. Will have to call my bank to see if they have any further details.
