Please stop taking money out of my account. I have contacted you three times over the last year to stop the deductions and hear evertime that it will be the next billing cycle. It has been a year! I call today again, and you in a meeting. Please contact me and make it stop and provide me a refund for every $15.00 deduction over the last year. Please take care of my issue now.

Classmates lying and unauthorized charges

I contacted classmates.com about a month ago. They were using my brother's name to entice people to join classmates. The problem is my brother Died March 26th 2009. Classmates contacted a friend and neighbor of mine, (That my brother's and I we'nt all through school with). I told them they were being Very fraudelent by telling people he was trying to get in touch with them. They would'nt even appoligize, Even when I told them They owed my family an appoligy for using his name. While E-mailing them I ask them to cancel my membership and never bill me again, (I tried to do it by following their directions, I could'nt make it work)
I thought they would at least honor this request, after what they had done. Guess What? They just billed me again. Now I'm trying to get them to refund that money. I would "NEVER" be a member of classmates.com again. Nor would I recommend them to Anyone ! My personal opinion ! "VERY POOR" Business practices.

Classmates - online scam

This actually is a story for the entire country - Two years ago, I joined a website called classmates.com - this site will let you find old classmates, get reunion info, etc - In the two years that I had this service, I really never used - So, I was just going to let my subscription expire - Wrong! This website billed me for another two year subscription -...

Classmates selling my information

Classmates sold my information. I signed up for a free trial with classmates.com and cancelled my free trial within the 7 day period. I did provide my cc # for the free trial, believing it to be a legitimate company. Apparently they sold my cc# to a company called privacy matters, and I was charged $19.95. After finding this, I called privacy matters, they did take responsibility, and offered to give me my money back - however when I called classmates.com to complain about it, they took absolutely no responsibility. The extremely rude customer service person I spoke with explained that you have to enter your email address twice before they will give this company your cc #. I explained that I gave them my cc# and trusted them with it, not this other company, and if they are going to advertise, then the customer should have to enter all their information on the site of this other company, so that they know they are signing up with this other company, and not make it part of your purchase with classmates.com. She then rudely said again that we have to enter our email address twice, not once but twice before they will give them your information. I got very mad and told her I would not be using classmates.com again. She said she was sorry I felt that way. I am so upset with classmates.com, i’m not even mad at the company that took my money, because they at least are taking responsibility and refunding my money, but classmates.com for giving my information to other companies without taking any responsibility for violating customer's privacy.. Apparently privacy does not matter. What makes me even more upset is the customer service rep's attitude like it's ok because you enter your email address twice, which I don't remember doing, however with a name like privacy matters, it sounds like a program they use to ensure your privacy while you are giving your information online, as well as a lot of companies use your email address as a digital signature, so it's not far fetched to think that someone is entering their email address into a program called privacy matters as a digital signature of an authorized transaction. It amazes me at their ability to think it is ok.

Classmates unsubscribe

Unsubscribed about 3 months ago. When I got my credit card bill this month, there was a charge for Classmates for 39.00. I want my card credited because I did not authorize this charge. Classmates is just a scam, you can't even talk to anyone about this. You call the number on the bill and they have a recording saying to go to Classmates.combilling, and you can't do anything but fill out a complaint. What the Heck?

Classmates unauthorized renewal fee charged

I had the same thing happen to me. Except, I signed on for a one-time only fee that would expire in 3 months. It did expire...almost a year ago. Now, months later they charged me $39. I called classmates customer care # [protected]. I spoke to a guy who has obviously gone through the same old shpeel at least a hundred times. He refused to refund my money. I threatened to call the Better Business Bureau and he still refused. I finally asked to speak to his supervisor. The same guy came on the line shortly afterward and said he could do me a favor and exchange the $39 membership to a $9.95 membership. I said absolutely not. He finally agreed to make this exclusive exception just this once. They said they will reverse the charges. I then instructed him to delete any credit card information they have on file for me. He said he would do that, too. WE WILL SEE...if I don't see a refund within 10 days, I will dispute the charge with my credit card company. CLASSMATES.COM SUCKS!

They did the same thing to me! I signed up for a manual renewal, meaning I would have to intitiate the payment but they continue to charge me. When I complained they said I was signed up for automatic renewal. They completely lied and scammed me out of my money, refusing to refund my money for this whole year even though the charge just happened two weeks ago.

When I called my credit card company they were already aware of the scam Classmates.com was running and said they get calls about them ALL OF THE TIME! How do we shut them down?

However there is no way I can talk to a person there as they are always too busy. I recently signed up for a three month trial. I should have saved my time and money.

Unsolicited ads shouldn't be a part of a page which could really be a neat communication tool to get in touch with old high school buddies. I cancelled my membership.

I just noticed a charge on my crdit card. They said they keep your credit card on file and automatically charge you after your membership has run out and that they have the right to do that.

WWW.MYLIFE.COM...WWW.REUNION.COM ...WWW.MYLIFE.COM

I am an attorney researching the business practices of WWW.MYLIFE.COM, WWW.REUNION.COM and WWW.MYLIFE.COM . I am interested in their practices as it relates to the unauthorized SCRAPING OF EMAIL ADDRESS BOOKS.

Pending my review, consideration of legal action shall be evaluated. I located your complaint from a google search of all those complaining about reunion.com and my life.com . Any information you may provide would be helpful so as for me to understand the issues, but response should not be considered as developing an attorney-client relationship. I merely need to obtain information.

Here's a few questions:
1) Did you join the dating portion of these sites and have any issues and concerns?

2) were you enticed to visit any of these websites after an email came to you, appearing like it was from a friend, inviting you to join?

3) do you feel the terms of service and privacy policy noted on the site explained what exactly they were going to do to your email addresses?

4) Were your email address contacts emailed an invitation to join after receiving an invitation which claimed you sent them the invite?

5) how has your involvement damaged your reputation or any finacial losses?

6) Were you contacted by any other companies associated with any of these sites claiming that you had joined their site also, being sent marketing info from companies, ASKING FOR YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER, OR RECEIVING MONTHLY CHARGES TO YOUR TELEPHONE BILL?

So as to support my interest and qualify my identity, I would refer you to a few of my recent cases I filed, so that you can confirm that I do represent individuals in internet privacy matters. Google my recent cases:

lane v facebook,
valentine v nebuad
simon v adzilla
slater v tagged.com

Once you locate these cases, review the atorneys noted, and then confirm I have the same email as the attorney noted on the lawsuit:

"Attorney Joseph H Malley
malleylaw@gmail.com"

Please feel free to contact me in confidence to discuss any issues. As noted at this point I am merely researching and discussing complaints to determine if there is any allegations of merit.
Thanks

I noticed a charge on my card from this company. I have never used them ever, and have no idea how they got my credit card information. I believe it may have been through one of their sister companies (a lineage site? ancestry.com maybe) but i don't know for certain how they got my information. I promptly called my credit card company and told them i wasn't paying for the charge. Problem solved.

Classmates scam charges

Classmates.com automatically charged my credit card without my authorization for membership fees, then refused to refund the money after I'd alerted them to the mistake. They had changed the Terms of Service (which is a contract) since my initial membership to an automatic charge of my card at the end of my membership and told me they could change their TOS anytime they wanted. Classmates.com refused to cancel my membership unless I logged into the site and requested the cancellation online. THEN they informed me that by logging on, I had agreed to the new Terms of Service and had forfeited my membership fee by doing so! I complained to the company via snail mail, email and phone calls without success. I had to resolve the issue via my credit card company by disputing the charge and providing copies of my complaints to Classmates.com. The credit card company refunded my money. My next step would've been the Better Business Bureau. READ THE TOS OF ALL ONLINE SERVICES PRIOR TO LOGGING IN EACH TIME! Companies can (and do) change them often and without notice to you!

Classmates failure to provide services

I have been a gold member for 3+ years. It seems that Classmates.com has changed its rules for contacting other members and even for contacting their own Help services. There is neither a place to hit "send" in order to get your email sent out to a classmate or former student nor to send your question as to how to get the email to send in the first place. "Customer service" and "Help" are useless. It is a rather helpless feeling especially when one has paid to use/belong to its services. I am wondering why I have to pay for NOT being able to use Classmates.com.

Classmates scam artists

This company made an unauthorized debit to my ckg account. The most infuriating aspect of this whole thing was spending half an hour trying to find a phone number or even a working email to contact them on their site. There is a place to email them, but when you try you get an 'oops, sorry no page'. They are scam artists.

I will join any class action suit. Losing $39 is not the point. having it stolen from me is.

Apparently, I'm just one of many. They need to be put out of business.

Classmates got me for 59.00. The money was taken from my checkng account because my wife was listed as a secondary on it. She cancelled her membership to classmates over four years ago. When she recently called about the charge she was told by a representative that she did not cancel the membership for life.
Classmates has the practice of archiving peoples information then waitng for some time to go by just to reactivate membership without the person's knowledge. By the time you discover that you have been taken it is too late. They refuse to refund your money and tell you they will once again cancel your membership.
The worst part is the 59.00 charge was forwarded from and old debit card on an account that had been closed for over a year. Anyone reading this better check with your bank because according to my bank (Charter One) auto withdrawls will be forwarded to another account even if they were not set up by the account holder. Just because it is closed does not make it inactive or safe.
I just hope that classmates goes out of business soon so no one else will get taken or fall victim to their scams.

Classmates fraud

They are giving unauthorized credit card information to ap9*privacyprotection. After signing up for "gold" membership on this site, I got a pop up for a free credit check and a $100 gift card for canadian tire. I did not sign up for this service. I closed the pop up because I was not interested. Somehow they got my credit card information. After talking to "andy" at privacy protection, I was informed that classmates gave them the credit card information. So much for their secure site. Whatever you do, do not sign up for "gold" membership on classmates. You are getting more than gold membership! You are gaining an unauthorized credit card bill!

When I joined classmates I unknowingly joined Privacy Matters123 they took 39.90 from me. When I contacted Classmates they said I took advantage of a free trial. Well if it was free then why was 39.90 stolen from my account. Isnt there some law where online companies disclose who their in bed with. Dont join Classmates.

I didn't understand. I didn't know what that charge was for I've never heard of that and then my bank also charged me $27.50 for insuffient funds. So I called the number that was givin to me on my bank statement about the $12.99 charge and got a hold of a lady there and I asked her what was the company I was calling and told her what had happened she did take the charge off but only just the charge my bank said that they were responsible for the insuffient funds as well I had my bank type up a letter and had it notorized. The next day I was preparing to do my taxes and I was going through my all my oldbank statements and apparently this CLASSMATES ONLINE INC [protected] had been taking out every month $12.99 since 12/26/07 plus I was charged twice in two of those month $15.00 by a different company name.

Classmates unauthorized credit card charge of $39

I have not even visited classmates.com for years and yet somehow, when my account balance is in the single digits I get a $39 charge from classmates.com. I have never signed up for any pay service from that website, so aside from getting tons of spam from them over the years I have no idea why I would be getting charged $39. Someone has to do something about this. I am going to call my bank tomorrow morning, but based on other things I have read about this issue it is not likely my money will be refunded, meaning I am now out another $35 for the overdraft charge on my bank account.

Classmates scam

I recently resigned up to the free side of Classmates.com. One day later, while checking my credit card online, I saw a mysterious charge to SHopping Essentials. I phoned the number associated with the charge and was passed off to numerous "associates" who all refused to tell me just who they and their company was. They said they had no record of my name or phone number. They asked me to verify myself by giving them my credit card number! When I balked at that, the guy (Carlos # 18228) scoffed that they "already had the number" because they charged me. So I said to read me the number and I would tell them if they were correct. He refused and said they couldn't do that. To dispute the charge, I was told to fax him a copy of my credit card bill showing the charge! I told him that I was calling my credit card company and cancelling the charge. I did that but also had to cancel my card and will have to wait a week to 10 days to get my new card. I also have to deal with juggling a few automatic payments that are on the card. I never gave my credit card number to Classmates. How did they or their 'partner in crime' get it? No fine print on a terms of use blurb should allow for stealing a credit card number! That, my friends, is still a crime!

6) Were you contacted by any other companies associated with any of these sites claiming that you had joined their site also, being sent marketing info from companies, ASKING FOR YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER, OR RECEIVING MONTHLY CHARGES TO YOUR TELEPHONE BILL?

So as to support my interest and qualify my identity, I would refer you to a few of my recent cases I filed, so that you can confirm that I do represent individuals in internet privacy matters. Google my recent cases:

lane v facebook,
valentine v nebuad
simon v adzilla
slater v tagged.com

Once you locate these cases, review the atorneys noted, and then confirm I have the same email as the attorney noted on the lawsuit:

"Attorney Joseph H Malley
malleylaw@gmail.com"

Please feel free to contact me in confidence to discuss any issues. As noted at this point I am merely researching and discussing complaints to determine if there is any allegations of merit.
Thanks

This Classmates.com IS some scam! They lure you in with a one-time fee of $15, then before you know it - you're being charged every month. As a few of you wrote - there is no way to contact them via phone.. as you only receive a recorded message & then it diconnects you... BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO is notify your bank as soon as they take your money. Your bank is on YOUR side. If more of us take this action immediately - perhaps we can put these crooks out of business.

Classmates automatic renwal

I had the "automatic renewal" recently charged to my card for $39 after my previous one year membeship was 9.95 and the card they charged to had the wrong expiration date. I don't recall ever selecting an automatic renewal selection nor do I recall getting a notice about it. I have now had to file a dispute with my credit card company and have read many other similar complaints.
