My bank account was charged $99.00 and I never authorized this 8778832431 number to debit my account.

my back account as been hit with a 99.00 charge and 47.50 a month since Dec. I just found this out this month because I don't watch my statement that much and they refuse to give any of the money back. Where can I go to take this further?

DID ANY OF YOU SIGN UP FOR A FREE TRIAL OF SOMETHING? There is a lot of confusion about these free trial offers - just pay shipping and handling.
THE PRODUCT IS NOT FREE - if you fail to cancel during the trial period - you get charged for the first shipment and placed into a contract for more product shipments and charges monthly.
The Trial Period starts the day you place the order - NOT WHEN IT IS RECEIVED. So you never get the full time period to test the product.
They also make it impossible to cancel and if you are successful in getting through to cancel - they still keep taking money from your accounts.
IF yes - then you did authorize the charges - all these free trials are using Negative Option contracts.
When you agree to one thing - you also agree to numerous others as outlined in the terms and conditions on the website. If ordered by phone - they NEVER tell you this.
The GRANT websites (ALL SCAMS) also sign you up for numerous other programs as well with re-occuring monthly charges.
Different Product - but this explains how these Free Sample SCAM PROGRAMS WORK

Weight-loss supplement makers settle deceptive marketing claims
February 11, 2009
Makers of dietary supplements that lured consumers on the Internet with allegedly deceptive weight-loss claims and bogus "free" sample offers, and then debited their bank accounts or charged their credit cards for continuing shipments without their consent, have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they violated federal law.
In one FTC law enforcement action, the defendants claimed their products ? LeanLife PM, Burn Fat 2, Hoodia 66, Hoodia Thin, HoodiaGordonii, and RxZyte ? would help consumers lose weight or improve male sexual function.
To get a "free" sample, consumers provided their account number to pay a shipping and handling fee, unaware that they would be enrolled in a "negative option" continuity program and billed about $100 every few months for recurring shipments of the products unless they cancelled.
In the other case, consumers who ordered a "free" sample of Woman's UltraSlim were asked to provide their credit or debit card account number to pay a shipping and handling fee, unaware that they would be enrolled in a continuity program and charged a monthly fee of almost $30 until they cancelled their enrollment.
All were charged with the following violations of the FTC Act:
? Making false or unsubstantiated weight-loss and related claims;
? Failing to disclose adequately that consumers who order a "free" sample are enrolled in a continuity program, that their accounts will be debited or charged to pay for the program, that they must cancel to avoid extra shipments and debits and charges, and how and when they must cancel to avoid the debits or charges;
? Debiting or charging accounts of consumers who cancelled or tried to cancel, or those who were not adequately informed of the negative option features or terms and conditions, and therefore did not provide express informed consent for the debits or charges.
They also were charged with violating the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E by debiting consumers' accounts on a recurring basis without obtaining the required written authorization.
Under the settlements, regarding the marketing of any dietary supplement, food, drug, device, or health-related program or service, or of any product or service by means of a negative option feature, the defendants are barred from misrepresentations, including that a product or service is "free" or without obligation if a charge will be assessed unless the consumer cancels.
Other prohibited misrepresentations include the amount that will be charged, that a consumer will not be charged, the timing or manner of any charge, the length of any trial period before a charge will be made, and that a consumer has authorized a purchase.
The settlement with marketers JAB Ventures, LLC and Jason Brailow imposes a $7,803,425 judgment, all but $610,000 of which is suspended based on their inability to pay.
The settlement with Woman's UltraSlim marketers Complete Weightloss Center, Inc., Terry Guthmiller, and David Guthmiller imposes a $2,532,014 judgment, all but $3,000 of which is suspended due to their inability to pay.
In each case, the full judgment will be imposed if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition.

Someone, some how used my bank card and fraudulantly signed up for this "Google" (as the caller claimed to be from) "Internet Search Marketing" SCAM and even after they were told that I didn't sign up for anything with them and that I was not verifying any account number with them, they sent me their so called "MyHomeCashKit". This 877 number doesn't work nor does their www. (website). This number is a scam number and I recommend that you don't answer it and contact you banking facilities immediately because you might end up with this so call "Kit" too just because you answered the phone.Their intent is to rip you off because you have no contact number to get intouch with them or anyone else. I don't know how they got my bank info. but you can bet they aren't going to get away with it as I am filing a fraud complaint with the FTC, my local police, my bank, etc... Just don't answer the phone when this number shows up on your caller ID.I fully look to see that this post doesn't stay up here long because somehow someway IF Google is part of this scam, it will be taken down before more people can read it.
