Telephone Alert - Members 1st Federal Credit Union
The latest telephone alert involves members contacted by individuals claiming to be a “Checking Account Supervisor” and offering “free” services. Please be aware these are not Members 1st employees and the calls are originating from a company based out of Florida named Distinct Advantage.
As when contacted by any company soliciting services via the telephone, Members 1st recommends exercising caution. Ask questions to fully understand all aspects of the offer being made.
If you are contacted and note charges were made to your account without consent by Distinct Advantage, or if you feel employees of Distinct Advantage misrepresented themselves, please contact the Florida Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection.
The toll free number for the Florida Attorney General’s office for filing a complaint is 1-866-966-7226. Complaints can also be filed online at
Once on the site click on the ‘Consumer Protection’ link, then click on the ‘How to File a Complaint or Check on a Business’ link. All the necessary information for filing a complaint is provided.
Be aware of a phone solicitation scam that has come to our attention. The caller is claiming that the person has won a gift from their financial institution for being a member or customer in good standing. We know of these calls being placed from the “727″ area code. In the past, this group has used the business names of Distinct Advantage, Freedom Gold, and Capital Vacations. Do NOT give your account number, social security number, bank name or any other personal or financial information in response to any unsolicited phone call.
End of Alert!

A former employee at Suntasia let's everyone know the inside game going on in there. She recently posted her experience working at Suntasia and even apologized to anyone she might of misled accidently.
If you want to read it, just click the link below and scroll down to the bottom. It's titled, "ALL OF THIS IS TRUE, SUNTASIA IS A RIPOFF".
Well, good for you. At least you are telling the truth. You took advantage, took the money, and kept it, and Yeah, that s great. You don t really believe Dx is a legit business or any of the other cheerleader BS you spout or have spouted. You are a winner and everybody else can go to hell for all you care and everybody else is a loser in the Dx Ponzi. At least you are now honest in admitting that you know that Dx is all just a Ponzi game and not a real business and that people that make money as fast as they can anyway they can (take advantage of Dx stupid programming) and then get it out as fast as they can are the real winners. And everybody else foolishly believing DX is real become losers. And if Dx falls apart which it will now, you don t care because you got yours!
The Better Business Bureau has finally completed it’s report on the company we’ve been discussing in the posts above, Suntasia Marketing in Largo, Florida. For those who don’t know, this company does marketing for vacation packages/promotions and long distance service.
Of course it is no surprise they have an “unsatisfactory” rating due to a pattern of complaints concerning misrepresentation and sales practices, unauthorized billing and credit issues, refund disputes and delivery issues. Now in all fairness the company did resolve most of the complaints presented by the Bureau but when you have 160 of them in 36 months that’s way too much for such a small company.

Once again another bank alert has been sent out to consumers. This time it’s Bridgeview Bank in Illinois making them the 6th financial institution to warn their customers about this company. Bridgeview Bank even names Suntasia Marketing and it’s sub company “Distinct Advantage” specifically in its warning. Take a look below.
The Bridgeview Bank Group has become aware of a fraud scheme which has targeted some of our customers. In this scheme a consumer is called by a marketing firm and asked to participate in a customer service survey. They claim to have been hired by Bridgeview Bank. They claim that the victim will receive free gifts, but that they need to confirm a bank account number. The caller will read off the bank’s routing number, which is public knowledge, and ask the victim to provide the account number. The account number can be used to withdraw funds from the victim’s account.
Bridgeview Bank has not hired Distinct Advantage, Suntasia Marketing or any other marketing company to call our customers. You should be very cautious of any free offer made over the telephone. Never give out confidential information such as account numbers, social security numbers or other personal information.
Yes folks you read right AGAIN! This is becoming a frightening pattern with Scam-tasia. The following alert comes from the Better Business Bureau website.
This is the latest press release that came out a few days ago.
CURRENT ALERT:
Suntasia Marketing Targeting Area with Deceptive Calls
Date: November 13, 2006
Suntasia Marketing Targeting Area with Deceptive Calls
Company Saying You've Won a Vacation, Quoting Personal Info
Spokane, WA. - November 13, 2006 - An elderly woman from Spokane received a call a couple nights ago from Travel Agents Direct. The person calling was named Arthur Holden, and the number displayed on her Caller ID was 877-777-2709, and yet the number the telemarketer left for her to call was 727-683-1112.
When she tried a call to the 877# number, a voice recording stated that this is a call to which long distance charges apply, please dial 1 first.
The telemarketer was offering 2 nights anywhere in the US, and airfare up to $500 on American Airlines for a shipping and handling fee of $1.95.
The elderly woman said, NO! I do not give you permission to take money out of my account, to which the telemarketer said they already HAD her account number. They proceeded to read her CORRECT banking info off, both her routing and account number.
The elderly woman, with her adult child, went to the bank immediately to report this activity, and the bank is watching her account for any unauthorized activity.
Scary, or what? And who, exactly is this company, anyway?
BBB investigations came to find that the long distance number given for this company is directly linked to Suntasia, a marketing group for vacation packages/promotions and long distance service located at 8751 Ulmerton Road, Largo, FL, 33771-3832, Web site: www.suntasia.com
This company has amassed 160 complaints as of the release of this alert, and based on BBB West Florida files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to failure to respond to one or more complaints and two or more unresolved complaints. However the business has resolved most complaints presented to the Bureau.
This company also has an unsatisfactory record due to a pattern of complaints concerning misrepresentation and sales practices, unauthorized billing and credit issues, refund disputes and delivery issues.
This company has responded to some complaints regarding such companies as, but not limited to, FreeStuffForYou, Imperial Majesty, Paradise Vacations, Membership Services, Capital Travel, Capital Vacations, Two Talk Communications, and Travel Agent Network (TAN).
End of Alert.
It is no wonder they are currently being investigated by the Florida Attorney Generals Office. I am sure there will be more warnings coming out concerning Suntasia.
well alot of times these scams originate when the telesales agents are taking calls for a product people see on tv. Say for instance you are calling to order a george foreman grill. Well they take your order for a george foreman grill and get your payment information. Sometimes at the end of the call the telesales agent offers you third party stuff such as magazines, trips, insurance or whatever. Sometimes the victim non chalantly accepts the third party information or whatever without listening to details. Now some telesales agents sometimes take not of that and proceed to steal the victims identity or set up the scam by the information collected. It is not often, but a select few teleservice agents are behind these types of frauds because they have first access to the customers payment information.
