SCAM ALERT CIC CREDIT MONITORING.....SCAM ALERT
I am posting this for 3 reasons:
To inform so you don't get sucked in.
To see if anyone else has had similar incidences.
And to see if I have a case against the company to take to the atty gen in Ohio.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS..... IT MAY HELP YOU!!!!!!!!
This company advertises on Yahoo, E-Bay and other reputable sites as offering free credit.
Once you click they ask for you CC# but assure you they will not bill you.
They take your information and you are supposed to get an e-mail with your report. You can also click for "free" updates.
Well I was suckered in, wanting to know and I did this since then I have been billed monthly $12 and in June an additional $36 for what I have no idea as I have never recieved ANYTHING from them.
Once I noticed this unknown billing on my MC I called my card company to ask what it was, thinking it was something from my card. They said they had no idea but had a few customers complain about it and wondered themselves.
I called the 800# that appears next to their name on my bill. Lo and behold I got a tape recording saying that (direct quote), "their lines were busy and if I were calling to cancel to e mail them at....."
So I e-mailed them May 12th.
I saw them on my June bill so I called again..... again i got the same message and the same e-mail address to send a cancel to...... I did on June 13th.
In July, again I saw them on my bill, not just for the $12 but for $12 AND a charge for $36........
Again I called...... again same message.... again I e-mailed.
Now I have recieved them on my bill again. So today I paid my MC bill by phone asked the card company how to take them off, I can't unless I get a new card......
So.... again I called the 800#....... this time I recieved a live person......
I explained I had e-mailed 3 times to cancel and I wished to cancel.
She pulled up my account and said, "well we do show that we tried to charge you but it was denied because of lack of funding.... I assume.... if you give me a new credit card # I can help you....."
I got very angry and pissily yelled into my phone, "I DO NOT WANT TO PAY ANOTHER DIME..... I HAVE SENT 3 E MAILS TO CANCEL YOU AND I WISH TO STOP CEASE DESIST ANY FURTHER PAYMENTS."
She put me on hold.......
5 minutes later she came back said "you have been cancelled.... goodbye." and hung up.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
