This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I received an email filled by many others from a Ask Crew company. I have never heard of them. I don’t know who they are and yet they seem to talk as though they are there to help me? I soon noticed that their company Lemandale took 49.00 out of my PayPal account without my permission and I have no idea how they got any of my personal information. This is scary. Another scam? I believe they are out of the UK. Can you help please?

Desired outcome: To get my money back and shut this company down

Exactly the same has happened to me. AskCrew has taken £49.00 via PayPal from my Amex credit card with no authority. I have alerted Amex about the scam and they are pursuing it.

I had the same happen to me in this month: first on 12/27 for $0.50, $0.25, then on 01/03 $49.00. I just started to check this out, but I'm also going to dispute it with PayPal and my bank. BTW, I finally got a phone number for PayPal Cust. Serv from another dispute: [protected] and they are located in San Jose, CA If I have any luck finding Lemandale LTD, I'll let you all know.

Askcrew I believe came up when I was trying to change my password with Google but and having trouble with it.

I too have had exactly the same experience as all of the other complainants. It is unclear whether anyone has received a satisfactory explanation from PayPal as to how Lemandale got access to their PayPal accounts, or indeed, whether anyone has received their money back from PayPal. To date 6 payments totalling $148 have been paid to Lemandale from my PayPal account since November 4 last year.

I also received an email stating Lemandal had taken $49.00 from my account through PayPal. WTH?!

I have no clue who they are or how they got my information or access to my PayPal account.

Any suggestions on how to stop this nonsense would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same problem they just took $49 for nothing and they took $0,25 on three occasions. They did what Facebook told me to do and did nothing for me. I want my money back.

You were supposed to tell me why you're stealing $25 a month from my account when I've NEVER used your services. Your response? Send me to a page asking for my credit card info, which you clearly already have--so I have to PAY to get my answer? This is BS. I WANT TO CANCEL THIS SUBSCRIPTION AND I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED IMMEDIATELY. I'M FILING A CLAIM WITH MY BANK

I have received $98 back from PayPal. Out of the $148 paid to Lemandale. PayPal have closed the “ case”, which can’t be reopened. I, therefore, have raised a further complaint to ask them to repay the outstanding amount. Thus far with no response. I originally asked them to also explain how Lemandale got access to my PayPal account, but got no response.

I just saw where Lemandale charged my PayPal account. 25 cents twice and 50 cents twice! Just think how much money they're making by charging each person just a dollar or two. What can be done about it? I'm a newly widow with no income and can't afford to be scammed out of a dollar or two. Think of how many people don't pay attention when it's small charges.

SAME THING! SAME METHOD!

Scam [censored].

Bank helped me out and is stopping payment to LEMONDALE scam LTD! Billed through ONLINE EXPERTS.ORG to my Paypal account.

My fault was should have watched my account closer. Went 4 months before I noticed it!

I had a problem with my dropbox, and that company popped up to help with a £1 charge and it will be refunded after the service then I found that they took out 0.25, 0.45 and today they took out from my Paypal account £43.83.

I spoke to Paypal, and they said they would refund me, hope for the best!

Do not, repeat, do not use this site for any reason what so ever. It is a scam and nothing more. I wanted an answer to a question, (I don't even remember asking) and was taken to this site and for $1.00 they would give me an answer or a solution to my problem. What a lie, scam, ripoff, or whatever you want to call it...They took $74.00 out of my bank account and I want it back. I never saw $74.00 in any of the information I had read about there services. $1.00 was the charge for there service, if I was satisfied. Well I am not satisfied, and I want my $74.00 returned to my bank account now. How do these people sleep at night, or at all, knowing they are stealing from people who have worked so hard for their money and have nothing to show for the money you charged them (without their authorization, I may add) and get away with it. Well I intend to get every cent of my money back from this ripoff of a web site. I will post my results favorable or not. Thanks

I, too, am a "victim" of this scam. Paid USD1 for help and noticed a $49 taken off my PayPal account. I did not sign up for any monthly subscription.

Is there anyway I can get a refund?

I contacted them to help me solve an issue with my computer. They asked for $1 which I paid. They didn't help me though they were very nice. I solved my own pb... Then I just discovered that I had been registered to pay $59 every month. I canceled the next payment but I would like to be refunded for the $59. I complained to Paypal. I tried to re-contact Lemandale but I wasn't able to do that.

Any idea?

This is a scam. If you need to ask a question you are sent to Ask Crew. They explain a $1.00 charge that is totally refundable. What they don't tell you is that there is a monthly charge of $49.00 for a subscription so you can ask questions anytime in the future. But you have to pay the $49.00 before you can cancel the subscription. But I still can't cancel mine. When I try I get a new application for the$1.00 one time refundable fee to contact Ask Crew. So, obviously, I don't have 24/7 access even though they took the monthly payment from my PayPal account.

I am very disgusted with PayPal. I've always used this app and haven't had this happen. But it is the PayPal rep that sends you to the Ask Crew site with your question. They don't mention the monthly fee that automatically is taken out. They say you can cancel after the fee is paid, but, as you see, they want me to pay the $1.00 fee again. So another new subscription will be generated and charged.

Same as a lot of others, here. Never heard of this company, or how it appeared on my account.

£46 just came out of my account, via PayPal. I have started complaint/fraud proceedings with my bank, and PayPal. Thank god I have notifications set up with both.

I received an email that Lemondale would take out $49 a month for a subscription. Like others I had paid $1 for a tech answer the day before, I did two things. I went into my PayPal account and cancelled the active online payment and I also ‘chatted’ with someone from Howly, who eventually agreed to unsubscribe me from their service.

Unfortunately my complaint is the same, I don’t remember signing up for this and wonder how they have received my information to deduct money every month. Unfortunately I noticed after 3 payments were made, tried to contact them directly and is now 5 payments. I would love my payments refunded as this just seems to be one big scam. Just one of many out there it would seem.

I have had the same thing happen and have had to cancel my card that I have attached to PayPal.This has mucked up all my automatic payment schedules that I have with PayPal.. My bank has returned one payment so far and I now have to wait for PayPal to get a response from their dispute made to this scamming company. It really is a nuisance and too much of this type of fraudulant activity is happening these days.It seems we have no options but to do all our business electronically and it is opening us up to a lot of scammers which makes us so vulnerable.

Hi everyone

I had £46 taken out of my PayPal today from this

nightmare of a scamming so called company!

Like all of you i never authorised any PayPal payments & don’t know how they got my details?

I phoned my bank & they have permanently cancelled any further payments to this company

& my bank are going to refund me the £46 phew! Hopefully it works for fingers crossed.

My suggestion would be for everyone to contact their banks immediately. I really hope all of you get this issue resolved as soon as possible. I wish you all the best.

I had the same thing, it was from howly.come, of of the ask professionals. You must have signed up for 1$ trial but they dis not send any email with log in info and even when i went to reset password get in to cancel it did not send email.

I was able to use the number on paypal to contact them and they issued refund. But yes it was a little skid-dish especially because they charged me before the end u day trial was up
