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

This is the second time my card has been charged without my permission.. I complained last year about the same thing and it continues to happen. I need something done about this! $39.00 is alot of money withdrawn especially if I dont have it. Last year
I was overdrafted due to the withdraw that was made from my account without permission. I would like to get my money back. One thing I would like to know is how did they get my card number when it was just changed...Please look into this matter and let me know the results...susan.[protected]@region16.net

Classmates.com charged for an automatic renewal, and when asked to remove the charge and cancel the account, they were happy to cancel the account, but not remove the charge. I've been in this situation several times in the past, and this is the first time a company has refused to remove the charge.

Be very careful on this site, they cost us 6 months of billing to two additional sites at $19.95 per. At least thats where MVQ claims they got the information from. I went back to the site and cant seem to find any opt in authorizing use of the credit card for other billing.

Classmates.com is a total ripoff. They bill you for ridiculous fees and then they make it where you can't cancel your membership. This website ought to be abolished immediately. This is nothing more than a racket.

This website is a scam. They will bill your credit card and use there obscure T&Cs as their defense. Anyone considering signing up for this website should have it head examined. Use Facebook and save your money. Do NOT give this company your credit card info.

1. This website shares info with other websites. I have added small qualifiers to one site. It shows up in offers from other sites.
2. Each time I have logged onto this site, my operating system appears to lock up. I reboot to get back control.
3. I will stay away.
