Evidentily there is a list of people that the scammers pass around. My Mom is 85 years old and has dementia so I have been handling her account for 3 years.  During this time she has had money  drafted from her account, this one is #9. I have changed bank account #'s however this scam got the money before the money was transfered to the new account. $329 is the amount also.  I am at my witts end trying to get her money back.

My mother's Bank of America checking account was hit by an electronic check scam this past month (10/3/08) so I am warning you all to pay attention.  My mom doesn't keep much money in her checking account so it overdrew her account and she was at a loss for what had happened.  There was a check for $399 that she couldn't account for.  I investigated and found it was an electronic check made out to Scuta Network and on the signature line it said "Authorization on File".  Mom didn't recognize the Scuta name so my sister and I did a Google search and found out it is an active scam.  I want you to be aware for yourself and your family.  Folks like my mom are at risk as they don't always understand how the electronic charges happen and elderly people tend to be polite with unsolicited phone calls and can reveal more information that they should (Mom swears that she just hangs up on them).

Mom went to the bank and they are having her fill out an affidavit that this was a fraudulent withdrawal.  I am hoping she will get her money back plus the overdraft fees - we will see.  Unfortunately she has plenty of company as a victim of this scam as you can see...

I never received any calls, they just took my money. They must have done a mass rip-off, because mine came out on 4/08/08 as well. Unfortunately I had not closely examined my account staement and only now had this pointed out by a bank rep while researching something else for me. The same people hit me for $394 in September under the name of "BSS" or "BBS". I caught that fast enough that I got my money back by paying $15 for a stop-payment order. No clue how they got my account info, but I am seriously ticked off. I can't close my checking account and saving s out because of a loan I have tied to the savings account. Now I am checking my account online daily. Can't they do something about these jerks?

Okay, I believe they may have changed tactics. We found an electronic check debiting our account for 399.00. The company name on the front was SCUTA Network, with an 888 number in the memo field. The payee on the back was listed as Landmark Clearing. We will be sure to file a report with the police. Luckily our bank has a guarantee regarding unauthorized electronic transactions.

The same exact thing happen to me. I went directly to my credit union and they had my money returned the same day - as an unauthorized debit. You should contact your financial institution and have the transaction returned and if it's too late contact the processing company they can and should return your funds because it was unauthorized. Good Luck!!

This company also operates as "Calivada Marketing", and seems to also use the phone numbers (201) 786 3033, as well as (888) 205 8881.  They most certainly seem to be a scam.  All of their "checks" seem to clear through Landmark Clearing, which seems to be a legitimate company.  If you have been the victim of one of this company's scams, call Landmark Clearing at (972) 239 2327, and see if they can be of help.  I suggest you ask for the underwriting department.

Sue, I am investigating an incident similar to yours and wanted to know what state police station investigated your complaint.  I would like to get the investigating Troopers name so I can find out who they contacted to get your money back.  Thank you!

it looks like we all wrote the some place a check 8 years ago i looked at all my bank transactions from 8 years ago and i got one that might  sell the bank info to this idfraudshield so i'm going to call the F.B.I

I found out about these lovely losers when my credit card payment bounced twice, which cost me $109 in fees from bank and cc.  I immediately went to my bank and complained about it.  

The lady tried implying that I clicked on it.  I told her no, then went to file a police report.  I went back to back the following morning and spoke with another lady who was able to reverse the $329 charge as well as $70 in overdraft fees, which leaves me out of $39 because of these chumps.  

I then contacted godaddy after tracing their IP address and sent them all of the information to prove their theivary.  I also made an online complaint to the NJ Attorneys General Office as well as the FBI.  I would strongly recommend everyone to do this so that if they keep getting complaints, they will eventually pay the price.  

Most importantly, you only have 30 days to retrieve your money from the bank, so time is of the essence.  Good luck all!

I have been dealing with the same problem from the idiots.  My $329 came out of my account on 04/08/08 and a called immediately.  It took forever to get someone but when I did I let them have it.  I called back on 04-21-08 and talked to a person named John in Sales.  He assured me that my account was in the hands of a supervisor and he would see to it that they gave me a call or he would call me back.  On 05/01/08 I called again and talked to someone named Manuel so in turn referred me to Ralph (apparently his supervisor)and I was told that John had been notified by email and had some info for meand would call me back by 4 p.m. EST.  Well as I sit here typing these very words, 05/02/08 at 6:41 p.m. CST there has been no return call from anyone.  I also sent emails to their email address and threatend then with a lawyer but must say that did no go either.  I intend to contact the police and State Attorney's Office along with BBB in my town.  This is so frustrating, why must people be so evil.

I did a reverse look up on whitepages.com for this address. It listed like 9 different people. I'm half tempted to start calling all of them...

Looks like I'm not unique in this situation... They also took 329 from me. I call and call and call. Ironic that a "company" called idfraudshield is involved in fraudulant activities. Has anyone noticed that the first "Did you Know?" point they make on their website is "That your money can be debited from your bank account without your authorization or knowledge?" Are they trying to prove a point? I think I will also call my State Police.

Same thing here.  $329 taken from my account.  The address they used, like someone else, was an address I haven't lived at in 7 or 8 years.  I went to my band and put a stop payment on it, but they informed me there was a chance I may not get my money back.  I'm calling for updates from them every day now, and if they cannot get my money back I'm going to the FBI.

they also got me but i stoped payment and my bank helped by not charging me any fee we have to get this animal>>>>i went to the adress he had on the website but when i got there they had no idea who idfraud was but they also looked shady in that office some kind of bs services i closed my account just to be safe

call F.B.I at 215-418-4000  the address for this co.is 545 8th ave suite 401 new york ny 10018 you can call the attorney generals office at 717-787-3391 and file a report

They got me today, too.  I have ID Protection through my employer so there is no way I would have knowingly authorized this.  I never received any information, a return call, a receipt, or a welcome package.  Bank of America was very helpful in resolving my claim.  I'm closing my account just to be safe.  A bit inconvenient, but at least I won't have anymore $329.00 charges hitting that account.  I have also filed a complaint with the State Attorney General.

Thanks for the info Sue I will go to the State Police and not local...and by the way I did not recieve a call either!  See my previous message

I had 329.00 taken out of my account last week from Idfraudshield.com...i got a hold of some one last week at 888-234-1743 and they said they were a customer service and had to get a hold of the supervisor at idfraudshield.com..to reimburse me my money which they said would be done in 24 to 48 hours as of now still no money and the electronic check they used was an old address of ours that we haven't live at for 8 years!!!!  I am goind to file a police report tomorrow.  Hope I can get something done.  This sucks!!!!!!

I did not receive a phone call...but the bank informed me that $329 had come from my account...and that it was from www.idfraudshield.com. The also gave me the phone number of 1-888-234-1743.  I have never heard of them before!  What a SCAM!

I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CALL EITHER BUT $329.00 WAS WITHDRAW FROM MY BANK

How did this company get your account information??

I too was ripped off.
My checking account was hit for $329.  I got the phone number but no one answers, no one returned my call.  I have to pay $15 to stop payment and $30 because of overdraft. This sucks.

I never received a call from them, either; the $329.00 withdrawal just showed up on my checking acct.  I went to my bank Friday about this, and they implied that I was somehow at fault.  I went to the state police this morning, filed a report, and already have my money back in my account.  I URGE all of you to file a police report if this happens to you.  Not only may it save countless others from the trauma of wire theft; it may help catch the monsters who did this!

I never received a call from this number. I just reviewed my checking account statement this morning and saw $329.00 that I did not authroize removed from my checking account. I got their telephone number from the bank along with their web site of www.idfraudshield.com. Their site WAS located on go-daddy.com but it is no longer active. I called go daddy.com and was told that IDfraudshield.com did not keep their site and they are looking for the owners too. I wounder why. I will file an official complaint against this transaction with my bank on Moday morning in that this is interstate wire fraud. I hope those of you who have had a simimlar experience will also follow through. Who, what and where did this money go? Is this part of a larger plan to funnel money out of the United States to support activities against our troops. Please do not let your guard down on this type of activity.

The didn't call, they just fraudulently take money from you.

This company is a SCAM BEWARE!!!
