Billing for services not ordered nor received.
Complaint Rating: 
Company information:
BIDFUEL
Texas
United States
As indicated above, I just discovered a charge for $39.95 on my credit card account as I was paying bills today. When I called the credit card company they said I would have to call BIDFUEL directly to challenge the charge. BIDFUEL said they would cancel the current month's charge but would not refund the two prior month's charges of $39.95, since I had not notified them earlier that I did not want their "service." I never received any product nor any service, and intend to pursue this. However, when you look on the web there are so many complaints, I wonder why they have not already been shut down for fraud. Due to family illness, I did not check the charges on my credit card statement closely enough the past two months and paid the amount shown. I would appreciate receiving any advice about how I can go about seeing that what appears to be a scam, at the very least, is shut down.

| bidfuel is a money making fraud that should be shut down and taken to court in the best interest of many people that have been frauded, they got 39.95 for nothing. |

Same thing just happened to me. I keep very close track of my bank account. Somehow they got my debit card number and charged me 1.01 then 1.88; then they got me for 39.95.
Luckily my bank is wonderful and they refunded my money right away and put in a fraud report.
Why aren't they shut down????? |
|
|
| I also just got my credit card and noticed a billing of $39.95 for bidfuel which I did not authorize. I just called them and they said I did not cancel within 14 days. Cancel what alls I did was order the CDS for free and pay shipping, I also think they should be shut down for fraud. |

I want to go on record as another Ebay user who was defrauded by Bid Fuel.
When I first found the chardge on my credit card I called up the credit card and asked that it be removed as invalid.
They investigated and removed the cxharge. Now I was going over my credit card staements this weekend and noticedcharge after charge of $39.95even after I had cancelled payment of the first charge. I called up BidFuel and they kept arguing it was my resp[onsibility to pay. I told them I'd never heard of Bid Fuel
and I was going to report them for illegal charges they agreed to refund my card. I will see if this happens. They must be making millions. They should be prosecuted.

I want to go on record as another Ebay user who was defrauded by Bid Fuel.
When I first found the charge on my credit card statement months ago, I called up the credit card and asked that it be removed as invalid.
They investigated and removed the charge. I was going over my credit card statements this weekend for taxes, and noticed charge after charge of $39.95 even after I had cancelled payment of the first charge. I called up BidFuel and they kept arguing it was my responsibility to pay. I told them I'd never heard of Bid Fuel. They kept arguing.
When I insisted I was going to report them for illegal charges,and press charges, they agreed to refund my card.
I will see if this happens. They must be making millions. They should be prosecuted.

Lets get these guys.
I have a paypal account, occaisionally buy things on e-bay, but have never sold or considered selling on e-bay. I just received a call from my bank about fraudulent activity. I am a student and generally keep good watch over my credit cards... i just hadn't been monitoring my debit account as closely. From what I can tell, BIDFUEL has taken 279.65 from me and I want it back. And then some. |

| Hi there, I have the same problem. I´m from Germany and I was suspicious when I checked my credit card account because I rarely use my visa and I don´t know how they got my details. I´ve never been to this website and I don´t even have a paypal account ( I´m at Ebay though but I do all my payments with my regular bank account). There were very strange amounts, e.g. 1, 36 € then 22, 45 and now 25 something. My bank said it was charged in USD - so even wondered more. I ´ll get a new credit card now and I hope this will stop!! So take care everybody, Diana. |

They own different websites that offer BIDFUEL, Blogtoolkit.com, ADDmedia, and many others.
The St. Kitts, East Caribbean address is BOGUS. It's just an off shore mailbox drop-off address.
Here is their ACTUAL address:
i Lead Media Inc
Bidfuel.com
437 E 1000 S
Pleasant Grove, UT 84062

| I was charged 39.95 on 5 different occasions. I called bidfuel and they only refunded me for the last charge. I filed a complaint with the better buusiness bureau and I just checked my account, they have refunded two more payments of 39.95 that they had stolen from me. They shold most definitely be shut down!!! |

Same thing happened to me. I called them and some woman at first said she would refund the $39.95 and then started to lecture me about how I should have read the "fine print". I said there was no "fine print" to read and that I wanted the refund she already stated she would give me - she then said she didn't like my attitude and was not going to refund it - she then hung up.
I called my credit card company (BANK OF AMERICA VISA) and challenged the charge. They said they would contest it and for me to not pay the $39.95 on my statement.
This BIDFUEL bunch are nothing but crooks! And they are rude and arrogant to boot! I only wish I could meet them face to face - I feel sure I could adjust their attitude.
And yes, they should be put out of business. |

| Called and told BidFuel would be sending me info on E-bay, and I had 7 days to accept of be charge $39.95. I thought I would be working with E-bay. I told caller I had no interest. Received package. Day I received, I called BidFuel and reiterated I had no interest in package. I was charge $39.95 three times and $1.97 three times. I called to complain. Hung up on me two times. Finally spoke with Supervisor. Told me they had recording agreeing to pay the $39.95. I asked them to let me listen to recording. He refused. Said was too busy. This is a huge scam. Letter to Better Business Bureu in Clearwater, FL. Letter to Capital One. Letter to E-bay. Have not heard from anyone. SCAM. Do not get suckered in as I did. RB Atlanta. |
