I should have checked before I used this service. I agree they get you for $19.95 before you can blink an eye. I've learned my lesson always check on the web for pros & cons about web sites & services before jumping into the lava pit. Thank you for the opportunity to vent my frustration and hopefully it will help someone else to not make the mistake I have made.
BE VERY CAREFUL - THIS IS NOT LEGITIMATE! THEIR TACTICS ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND DISHONEST. THANKFULLY, MY CHASE MASTERCARD REPRESENTATIVE TOOK CARE OF THIS AND I'M GOING TO BE CREDITED. I HOPE!
The site was used to find a DB in Chicago and I was never told of follow up charges... Shoot the 'stards. $1 is not bad for the info I requested, but the additional $19 sucked. I cancelled this morning... They are theives.
Agree with all others: this is a huge scam. They suck you in for $1 then bill your card $18.95 monthly. Interesting that their phone message immediately gets all legal-de-gook to make you think you can't fight it. My Chase credit card representative got them to refund the $18.95. Chase provides terrific service! I'm a good reader and was really aggravated thinking of all the $18.95's they were stealing from customers that I decided to try for the refund. I'll think it will come through or Chase will take the next step.
Please, decent people. Do not use their services. They bait you in for $1.00 and then charge yor credit card $18.95/ monthly and it is hell to try to cancel. They will eventually cancel but your$18.95 is gone forever. I am going to BBB in their state right now to complain. Others should do the same. Also for double protection, let your credit card company know... they'll send you papers to stop the monthly billing... These people will go straight to Hell.
I hate being taken advantage of like this. This website lures you in with a $1.00 charge for information which actually isn't that bad but then they charge your CC with a whopping $18.95 monthly charge! It was kinda funny that after I called them about the dollar charge (my wife had made the original purchase) on my ledger the $18.95 mysteriously popped on there because the fee had already been initiated or some crap like that. Hope you read these reviews before you use them but more then likely you'll be caught by surprise too.
Web site is a rip off, plane and simple. Charged me 1.00 for directory service that yielded 0 information, then slapped me with 18.95 service fee later on my cc.
This site is a big big SCAM. I used it to find a name attached to a number and charged the $1.00 to my card and what did they do, they started a monthly billing of $18.95 that I never requested. Stay away from this company. They are very dishonest.
I can only agree with the earlier reviews. The online agent refused to answer my question about the requesting of the $1 charge before I even finished the session because they did not provide me the information I requested and told me that the number I was searching for did not exist in any data banks. Kind of funny that I had a conversation with that person last night. Im going to find where they are and file a complaint with the BBB in their state. Chances are pretty good they arent really in the US. total and complete SCAM
They always tell you they have the information ready, just give them your credit card info and it will be displayed. Never received anything except a note that they would get back to me in 24- 72 hours with the information. When I did the live chat after I saw the immediate charge to my account, they would not give me any company information such as their address.
This phone company will steal your money but they will not render the services requested. This company is a SCAM! If you don't want to loose your money don't use their services please use services from other companies. Please report their actions to BBB! Maybe if more complaints are filled something might be done.
Read fine print, I used the $1.00 lookup which they refunded due to not being able to locate number, but meanwhile signed me up for a monthly $18.95 charge which is not refundable. How do you spell S C A M! Any company with a decent product does not rely on misleading ads and have a nonrefundable policy..
I tried it for a week and because I didn't want it, I cancelled it. They closed down my account but charged me $18.95 anyway. They claimed that I cancelled too late in the day and that they had every right to charge me. What a bunch of scammers!
Do not use, does not provide info, opted one tine use and was charged for a month and would have continued to charge me if hadn't contacted them. May still charge will have to wait to see. Refused to give me their address to file with BBB in their state. Fraudulent practices, deceptive.
It is definitely a scam. I put all the info to generate a report which the website stated was complete and all I had to do was give all my credit card info to access the report. Guess what? After they got my info there was no report! I had a live chat with their cust service who made excuses for why I didn't get it. She said she was not authorized to cancel my membership or issue a refund.
This was the BIGGEST SCAM I HAVE EVER SEEN! I want to warn everyone out there that their money is gone forever if you make the mistake of using this service. Rude customer service and they will argue until the cows come home that you authorized their charges. WARN YOUR FRIENDS. REPORT ABUSE. RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!
Answer: I read on another website that the same server of 173. 203. 36. 144 has Swipebidscs.com on it, well Swipebids scam is well known and Jesse Willms is behind it so it is possible and indeed quite likely he may also be behind the phone agent source scam. Here is some more informations about that: http://industrypace.com/frontpage/2010/11/01/jesse-willms-swipeauctions-shutting-down-stealing-deposits-and-refusing-to-issue-refunds-scumbag-willms-strikes-again.html http://www.webcops.net/just_think_media_spam_scams_8001.html http://edmonton.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100320/EDM_w5investigation_100320/20100320/
