I was charged 84.97 on my Credit Card on 5/3/07 I never authorized this charge nor did I order their product Extreme LeanRX. The month before there was a charge for 74.95 for the same thing which again this was not authorized. I did call the 866/882-3186 number that was on my credit card statement and the gal gave me a confirmation number for the membership removal which of course I never signed up for and she told me that they would refund my money within 72 hrs. Which I will believe when I see it.

My dad like most of you has been hit by unauthorized charges from this company. The credit card bill came with $84.97 due CJW Holding, which of course he didn't charge. On calling the credit card company we found there were several other charges to the same company. We canceled the credit card and are disputing the charges. I called the Utah Attorney General's Office and have been told to please file a complaint with them. The web site is www.dcp.utah.gov. Click on the Consumer Complaint link. Print out the form and mail it.

Doesn't this just make you furious. By the way my fathers card was issued through Bank of America - anybody else have that?

I received my credit card bill and found the $84.97 charge for something I never ordered from a company I never heard of. I called the 801 # which was disconnected. I goggled the company and read all about identical scams.
I called my credit card company who will question the charge. Here is my question: BESIDES MYSELF, HOW MANY PEOPLE ORDERED FROM OVERSTOCK.COM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE BEING FALSELY CHARGED? I'm trying to figure out how they got my number and that's the only charge on this card from an internet purchase. If we can all find a similar pattern, maybe the authorities can find out where they are getting out numbers.

I have on my credit card statement for May & June 2007 a charge for $84.97. This is definitely a fraudulent charge on my card. I tried calling the number listed on my statement was got a recording. This company is also part of LeanRX. In April 07, I had 3 charges ranging from $64.95 to $99.95 for something I did not order nor authorized.

June 10, 2007 A charge 84.97 was put on my card on a day I wasn't even in Chicago. I called Cap l and disputed the charge. They said they were investigating this company because other people were getting this charge on their card. CAP l removed this charge and I ordered a new card.

My bank advises that a charge for $84.97 has been made on June 3, 2007----to a credit card account that hasn't been used in over a year. I know nothing of this company or its charge. Please handle and advise of your actions.

Thanks,
C. B. A.

I have no idea who this company is, but when I noticed an unauthorized charge on a credit card I never actually use, I became suspicious and attempted to call the company. They make some diet product which I have never used. They didn't answer their phone.

Same story here ... $84.97 charges that are not mine and telephone# on statement for cjw holdings inc is automated which gives you a website to post your complaint on. I did call visa & they are going to charge back $84.97 to cjw holding inc.

I just discovered a charge of $84.97 to my card made 6/07. This card has gone unused in sometime so it was clearly fraudulent. I have no idea who this company is, but I hope they're shut down soon.

It is astounding that a company can get away with fraud so easily.
I have "two" charges on my MC for $84.97. One was on May 13, 07 & June 12,07. There are reference numbers and all but when you try to get a hold of the company, there really isn't any. I cannot get in touch with anyone from CJW Holding Inc. to find out who they really are and why are they charging me. I am not a computer person, never owned a computer and does not have access to one. I am using a friends computer to send this. So if I don't have a computer, e-mail etc, how am getting charged for this. I have contacted my MC and they are looking into it.

I too was charged on my Visa card $84.97 on May 29, 2007 by CJW Holdings. I noticed the charge the following day and contacted Bank of America fraud department. They refunded my money and are currently investigating this unauthorized credit card use. CJW holdings sells diet pills among other various items.

Same thing just happened to me. I got a statement from a credit card I haven't used since Dec 2006. I immediately double-checked to make sure I hadn't bought anything in the amount and then called Citibank. They are cancelling my account and giving me a new number. Luckily I don't use the card but if I it was the only one I had and used it a lot I'd be in trouble. I hope this guys gets thrown in jail for all the trouble he's causing.

I too was charged $84.97 on May 31, 2007, not once but TWICE by CJW Holdings. Who are these people? How do they keep getting away with robbing folks? Does anybody know how to address this issue with them?

I opened my credit to the same, stinking $84.97 charge. I rarely even use this credit card & know I didn't make this charge.

I called my credit card immediately & disputed the charge. As many complaints as I'm seeing, I'm amazed that my credit card company is not on top of this problem.

I did my normal daily on line check of my credit card and found this unauthorized charge on my account from Cjw Holding INC in the amount of $84.97. I have closed the account and begun the process of reporting this rip-off error with my card issuer. It is sad that the net is being plagued by this kind of illegal activity. I also plan to notify everyone I know about this so that they can check their card statements and make sure they are not being ripped off.

I had the same issue occur to me with my Debit Card. I got hit with 2 charges for 84.97 each. I had never purchased anything from that company. The funny thing is that I don't normally use this card. In the past year, I've only made purchases with it at Best Buy, Ritz Camera, and Barnes and Noble. I've never used the card at an ATM. Therefore, I have to believe that my card may have been compromised at one of those locations.

At least I'm not alone, my credit card company just called me about the same charge. Fortunately, their fraud department is proactively investigating charges to this company. I hope someone's headed to prison for a long, long time.

Fortunately our credit card company fraud department alerted us to the same $84.97 charge on our card. We must close our account. I'm hopeful someone will be able to catch these criminals!

My credit card company contacted me today asking if I had made a purchase of $84.97 online with CJW Holding Co. I told them "No". I have canceled the card number. What can be done about this? How could these people do this?

On May 16, 2007 I was charged 84.97 on my credit card for something I did not order. I do not know anything about this company or their products and i did not make any purchases from them. In February of this year a similar charge was made to my credit card but eventually my card was credited. Please help.

I recently checked my card statement and found the same charge as well! I then googled CJW Holdings and low and behold a bunch of complaint sites appeared. I immediately called my card company to dispute the charge. I recommend you do the same. This company is bad news!
