In this paper we provide amongst others some simple error bounds in approximating the weighted Riemann-Stieltjes integral $\int_{a}^{b}f\left(t\right) g\left(t\right) dv\left(t\right) $ by the use of three points formula \begin{equation*} f\left(b\right) \int_{c}^{b}g\left(s\right) dv\left(s\right) +f\left(a\right) \int_{a}^{d}g\left( s\right) dv\left( s\right) -f\left(x\right) \int_{c}^{d}g\left(t\right) dv\left(t\right) \end{equation*} where $x,$ $c,$ $d\in \left[a,b\right],$ $g,$ $v:\left[a,b\right] \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ under bounded variation and Lipschitzian assumptions for the function $f$ and such that the involved Riemann-Stieltjes integrals exist.
