same thing happened to me and i keep calling talking to different people. Ive tried being rude, nice, it doesn't matter. they told me i wasn't responsible and hung up on me. Them taking the money out of my account has messed everything up. my account was overdrawn and bc it was a international transaction the bank "HAD" to overdraw my account which doesn't make sense because 1 i have it so i dont get overdrawn and 2 bc this company is in the USA not in another country. I hope these peoples kids burn in front of them. Now my kids are out of diapers and other things bc of these ###s.

Rachel. You Need to keep calling them. Be rude to them, come up with something like 'i do not have the time for this now' Or something. Keep calling, and keep pushing for it. Terms and conditions (according to people) states that you can get a full refund within 30 days. These guys are unethical and should burn in hell. They live on dirty money, and karma is gona be a total ### to them. What goes around will come around. I suggest to ask for a supervisor or the 'owner' of whoever you're calling. Be on their heads. Goodluck xx

You need to try and call the [protected] number I called them after I talked to the bank. My bank couldn't stop it supposedly because those sneaky DCA people didn't put it as reoccurring monthly charge but called it a membership obviously meaning it was. So I called the [protected] number and was persistent they kept telling me they were a third party and couldn't do anything for me other than close my account. I didn't even know what I had an account for! And getting her to tell me the name of the company or the company they work for was like pulling teeth first she said a rewards company or something the finally DCA. I told the women I would like to speak to her supervisor and she told me she was on the phone with another client. So I said I'll just wait which she wouldn't let me. Apparently they wont ever let you talk to supervisor from what I've read on other complaint sites. But after telling her I wanted to close the account and wanted the pending 68.71 in my account left alone, she said sorry we do no returns and apparently someone was standing beside her because no sooner she got that out of her mouth she turned around and gave me a refund. Being persistent pays off! Worse comes to worse L.Jeannot I would tell them you were going to report them to the Better Business Bureau and I'm positive they'll comply. But supposedly I'm suppose to get my money back in 7-10 business days we'll see!

Same problem unfortunately like everyone else. I was offered to pay $2.97 and was charged $39.95 and 68.71 thereafter on my Chase bank account. When I called the [protected] and [protected] numbers, all I got was a voice mail saying to leave a message. I am trying to dispute the charges with my bank. What else can I do?

Just wanted to let you know that I called them and told them exactly what I wrote in my previous post of the 30 day satisfaction guarantee and got a FULL refund of my initial charge and the next charge I didn´t approve, $2.97 and $138.67.

Call them and tell them that according to the their own Terms and Conditions, they give a 30 day satisfaction guarantee and if you´re not satisfied (which we are not) they will give you a FULL REFUND including the initial fee.

Hi, I have the same problem. They charge me $138.67. What I can do to not pay this amount? I didn't make any kind of money, and I lost a lot of time to.

Some sum sucking low life got a hold of my debit card info and charged this crap to my account. Lucky for me this is my fun money account and I only keep a little bit of money in it so they could not take out anything but $2.97. I called my bank and they shut off my card. I also called this company and this lady told me they couldn't refund my money. So I went off and told this lady I know this company is a scam I have read about it online and they will regret messing with me because I am not finished with them and she hung up on me. So now I am turning this co. into the indiana attorney Generals office. I also had 2 other transactions go through from companies I have never heard of but they returned my money. That same day I found out whoever got a hold of my information was trying to run credit checks in my name...so I put a freeze on my credit info. Everyone keep an eye out. watch your bank statments close. You can't trust anyone in this world anymore, and that is really sad! They also told me they would be canceling this so called account and I should recieve a confermation e-mail (they didn't even have the right e-mail address) so I have no idea if they really closed this fraud account or not. I also recieved 2 phone calls from another "home employment agency" to notify me that my card had been denied! I also went off of this guy and told him why it was denied. I think everyone should turn this company into their states attorney generals office.

The same thing happened to me, someone from India or Pakistan called me on October 19, 2010 and I told them I didn't want anything, but they had my bank card information and my address, everything! I got three charges to my bank account, two of $2.99 and one of $3.06, the two for $2.99 were MedeFile.com and Member Advantage, LLC. The other one for $3.06 was from Direct Commerce Academy. I told the caller that I didn't want any of them, I even talked with the manager, but still my account was charged. Direct Commerce Academy charged my bank account again this month on the 22nd for a maintenance fee of $2.05, I called them and asked them why they were taking money out of my account, they said that someone using my credit card made the charges from my computer, but it wasn't from my computer it was from IP: 203.153.53.26. The agent #340 from Direct Commerce Academy at phone number [protected], told me that she would cancel my account and refund $1.99, not the $5.11 that was taken out of my account.

it happend to me too...what now? I have to call my bank tomorrow..maybe they can help me get my money back...

It happend to me too...
So what now...I have to call my bank and maybe they can help me get my money back...

I was ripped of 2. I send stop order to my bank

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD Signed up for this for 2.95. All I needed to get started posting links online and being paid accordingly. I even paid additional 29.95 for they call it VIP. Follow 5 steps and get started right ! Before you complete 5 steps you have to purchase a website and so much other crap. I finally called to cancel and get my money back and they said nonrefundable. That is how they make there money. By the way NO ONE SPEAKS ENGLISH ! HOW DO PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH SCREWING PEOPLE FOR A LIVING!

I signed up for a work at home business with Direct Commerce Academy for $2.97. The terms and conditions stated that I would be charged an immediate fee of $2.97 and that I would receive a packet in the mail. Five days later they charged my card $138.97. I called the customer service number and was treated very rudely and was lied to. I asked to speak to a supervisor at least 20 times and they refused to allow me to speak to a supervisor. The first guy I spoke with, Jared basically called me stupid and lied to me. When I asked him to speak with a supervisor he told me that he was the supervisor and that there wasn't anyone above him and that I wasn't getting my money back. I hung up and called right back and spoke with Keith, who told me there was nothing he could do because there was a 5 day trial period after which I would be charged $138.97 and that it was clearly stated in the terms and conditions. This is not true, that was not stated in the terms and conditions. He told me that I would not believe that amount of calls they receive from people with the same complaint. I told him that is because the fee is not stated in the terms and conditions and replied by saying that people just don't read. When I asked to speak with his supervisor he told me that she was busy and there was nothing they could do. When I told them that I was going to file complaints with the BBB and the state Attorney General they just laughed and said go ahead. I'm going to go ahead alright. DO NOT sign up with this so called company.

Signed up for extra income and all they wanted was more money to do anything. Then it said if not satisfied within 30 days would get a full refund now they will not give a full refund and just want your money not making money on this at all. When called the number to talk to someone they hung up on me DONT DO IT. ITS A SCAM THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY.

Hi i am pamela davis i was told to put some money on my debit card to recieve my $200.00 wal-mart gift card evertime i call and ask about my gift they tell me it take 7 to 10 busniess days my days is up i would like to what is the problem is they is why people dont like dealing with people on the comupter i won a labtop i have got it yet

I really did disagree with who ever got my $2.95 off my debit card told me i have won a labtop comptuer and i haven't recieve anything from yoll i don't think that is right if i have won something seem like to me yoll should have sent it out i haven't recieve my gift card are nothing it have been over 7 to 10 days i would like to know whats the problem is i want my gift are my money back on my card my account number is DCA.123 thank you all so much

This is a scam...big time. I was charged 2.97, then called to cancel the acct spoke with someone and she said she canceled it, then I called back to make sure and spoke with Maria, she said she would cancel it so apparently it wasn't canceled by the first person...I also got a email from Capo with a phone number, they are the billing company that works with Direct Commerce Academy...I called them and Jess said she didn't know why Maria told me to call since they are sitting next to each other. SCAM! Don't do it! I went on the BBB site and there are a lot of complaints. I told them if they charged my acct with any additional charges I was going to press charges. The second number on Capo is disconnect! Let the buyer beware, if it sounds too good to be true, it is!

Oh! Another lesson that I learned. Before attempting to do business with a company, research them online. Had I looked online to see what other people were saying about Direct Commerce Academy, I would have been slow to do business with them. I recalled being very sad that day because I could not find a job and saw the work at home opportunity. I read their info then read what the woman said from my hometown and saw that it did not cost much only $2.97 and went for it! I got excited! I envisioned my making at least $10, 000 per month. I borrowed the money from someone to pay for this opportunity to find that $2.97 was no where to the end of paying more money to make money. Each step required more money and more money and more money and more money. Do you get my drift?

Research...research...research. Let us band together to stop dishonest businesses and promote businesses that want to give us a chance. I choose not to be on welfare, etc. I choose to work hard to earn money since I am able.

I need a legititmate work at home career. It does not have to be work at home. It can be a job period. I am qualified. I am educated. Paid a lot of money for my education and have no job. What a mess! Yet government tells our children if you get a good education you will get a good job. Please! Too much politics and nepotism in the way!

Do your research. I learned the hard way and I am hoping that Direct Commerce Academy do not charge me anything extra and refund me. I will be watching! I urge you not to learn the hard way.

Help me to find a job. I am loving, intelligent, smart, educated, versatile, hardworking, skillful, caring, creative, talented, technology savvy, inventive, and a great leader who stand on moral principles even if I stand alone.

Help! I am for the people!

Direct Commerce Academy appears to be misleading. The information is communicated in a way that if you pay $2.97, you can make money without experiencing hassles and paying extra monies, which is a lot as you experience the steps. Once you begin the 5 step process, you quickly discover that you have been tricked and you are in over your head with continuous cost after cost before you can instantly make money. What if you are in a poor state such as me where you have very little money or no money, this type of action from a business could sink you lower.

Just a few minutes ago, I called Direct Commerce Academy to cancel the free trial because I found their company to false advertise in my opinion. In the beginning, their communication do not explain that you will have to pay more than $2.97, which it should because you do have to pay more and more and more monies and I am not sure if you will get the results. The first impression for me is that I cannot trust Direct Commerce Academy because they do not give adequate information upfront that will help you to make an informed decision. It appears that this company baits you and I do not do business with people that I cannot trust. If you are not 100% honest in the beginning, it appears to be an implication that you will not be honest during the process. When I saw that woman from my hometown making money and I thought about how broke I am I fell for the bait but I quickly woke up when they were asking for more money and more money.

I do not recommend doing business with Direct Commerce Academy. Instead I recommended that all people report them to Better Business Bureau so that representatives can investigate the company and if found to be guilty, maybe the business will be discontinued. SPREAD THIS INFO AROUND TO THE WORLD SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN BE MORE CAREFUL THAN WE DID.

When I called to cancel the trial, Bernie said that he will cancel my membership and expect to see the cancellation in my email between 24 or 34 hours. I am not sure because I kept saying 24 or 34 and I never could get a clear answer. I asked him for his last name and he said they are not allowed to give their last name so he said his professional number is 0330. I asked for the name of the owner and he said they are not allowed to give the owner's name. I asked him what was his role and he said Customer Service. I asked him to explain the hierarchy and he got quiet. I asked him if he had a supervisor and he said yes. I asked him for the next level of hierarchy and he said the supervisor is the highest level. I do not know about you but something smells mighty suspicious to me! I asked for the name and he said Evan. I asked to speak to Evan and he said he was unavailable and on another call. I asked if I could hold for him and he said yes and put me on hold for a few minutes then came back to the phone and said that Evan was busy helping a customer and I said I will hold. He told me again that Evan was helping with another customor and decided to say that I will refund your $2.97 when he could have said that in the beginning when I first asked for the $2.97 as well because I felt that their company was false advertising. He told me to expect the $2.97 between 7-10 days. During the process I asked if they had another supervisor that I could speak to and he said they only have one supervisor and that is Evan. What do you think about this world?

Question: When I saw their information online, they showed a woman from my city as being very successful. I am wondering, when you guys looked at their site, did they show a customer being successful from your hometown? If so, I wondered if this is a way to make you feel like you can be successful with their company as well?

I do not know what is going on with this company but I am very suspicious and do not trust them. I believe that legitimate businesses do not mind giving you the hierarchy and owners' name and location to report complaints because they desire continuous growth. Well, I did not get this treatment. When you question businesses' intergrity, report to Better Business Bureau to investigate and get a resolution. Let us band together to stop scams and misleading businesses.

Bernie told me that they are not going to charge me for anything and have not charged me for anything. I will watch them very closely because I do not trust them and hate that I experienced them. I was trying to just find a way to make an honest living at home because I am in need for survival. I am vulnerable and need some income to survive - honest income is what I need. I am a great and skillful person who is able to multitask. I was hoping to make at least $10, 000 per month. I am an open-minded person.

Help!

Consider reporting Direct Commerce Academy to Better Business Bureau?

Well they got me to, I've been paying them 39.95 for 5 months to a company called NTK, that I later found out was just Marktecture for some website I never logged into. At the end of the day they gave me 3 months back after calling two call centers speaking to 2 different Reps and when the process was explained the main Company is Direct Commerce Academy who takes your info and gives it to other companies who charge you to help them build your website, so you must cancel them all or you will keep getting charged. The second Rep also said the Company Direct Commerce Academy did a lot of wrong things and they have seperated from that Company

I went to a website about earning extra money from home. I don't even recall giving them the information about the $2.97, but then my account was charged for the $139.95 activation feee. When I called, i asked her what is activated. She told me it was to activate my account and then I would be charged $39.95 each month. I told her to cancel everything and she said she would send a confirmation email to my account. Never happened and she said the money was non-refundable. I told her she was ripping people off and she said it was my fault. Maybe so, but they are very underhanded and they prey on people who are looking to help their financial situation out and instead are being ripped off of money they can't afford to lose. I have cancelled my debit card and hope this helps, but additional calls to the company go unanswered.

Looked at what I thought and had read was a no hassle at home business, the story was positive on how you could make money from home easily. I guess I should know better by now but I did not see a down side - apparently I did not read the small print well enough and you needed to cancel within 5 days if you were not going to do the program, they made it sound like you could check it out for a few cents. I refused the first couple of offers they put out but I thought .99 was reasonable to check something out. Now I have 4 charges, .99, .02, 1.72 & 68.71 and am on hold with the company trying to get a refund for 20 min now, they make it sound like it is your fault for not knowing where they hide this important information. I would think that you would want to be upfront with people so that you don't have thousands of people calling to try and get refunds. No wonder customer service is rude!

Browsing through the internet I came across Direct Commerce Academy I read all those dumb stories of stay at home mom making good money and for to $2.97 I said alright I soon found out that you had to pay quite a bit more than $2.97 so I stopped and thought I was only out $2.97 and thought nothing more. I missed the charge last month but I caught it today it was a charge of 68.71 by some company that said BIZ [protected]. My bank couldn't tell me who it was and I couldn't figure it out they also couldn't stop it supposedly because those sneaky DCA people didn't put it as reoccurring monthly charge but called it a membership obviously meaning it was. So I called the [protected] number and was persistent they kept telling me they were a third party and couldn't do anything for me other than close my account. I didn't even know what I had an account for! And getting her to tell me the name of the company or the company they work for was like pulling teeth first she said a rewards company or something then finally DCA. I told the women I would like to speak to her supervisor and she told me she was on the phone with another client. So I said I'll just wait which she wouldn't let me. Apparently they wont ever let you talk to supervisor from what I've read on other complaint sites. But after telling her I wanted to close the account and wanted the pending 68.71 in my account left alone, she said sorry we do no returns and apparently someone was standing beside her because no sooner she got that out of her mouth she turned around and gave me a refund. Being persistent pays off! Worse comes to worse I would tell them you were going to report them to the Better Business Bureau and I'm positive they'll comply. But supposedly I'm suppose to get my money back in 7-10 business days we'll see!

DO NOT SEND DIRECT COMMERCE ACADEMY YOUR MONEY I KNOW 2.97 LOOKS GREAT FOR SOME EXTREA CASH BUT IT IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THE MEDIA PRAISING IT!

I went to this website http://www.cnbcfinance20.com/ and it talks about making money on the internet and shown on CNBC, CNN, ABC and USA Today and for $2.97 you will get a Home Income Kit. So I gave them my Credit Card and I explored the site and as I get more into it, they wanted more money. So I just stopped and figured my $2.97 was a waste of time. The next week I get a $139.95 Charge on my card. I called and talked to some lady and she said that in the terms and conditions, I will be charge this in 3 days if I don't cancel. I asked for my refund and was told I can't get it back. I told her that I would complain to the BBB and on the internet if this is not resolved. She then put me through another person and I repeated the same story to her and she said that I can't get it back. I told her about reporting her company and she told me that I threaten and that the phone conversation is being recorded. She finally said she would refund my money back, but as of a week, I still don't have the money. The first website that talks about only $2.97 doesn't say anything about $139.95 after 3 days.

Just another in a long line of complaints about DCA. First I will give you a "working number" where you can actually talk to someone. I got a confirmation number that my "membership" will be cancelled and that they are refunding my money. That number is [protected].

However, I would like to add that it really is probably more the fault of those of us too lazy to a)listen all the way through to the end of the video b) read the fine print and/or c) pay attention to details. I was going to get back to the information "later" and figured that $3 wasn't going to hurt even if it was a scam. Then that $138+ international charges kicked in and I decided that DID hurt. Problem is, there are no numbers that really can get you to talk to anyone directly about it. The website does almost a "ha ha ha--you must have seen your bank account!". I even went back to their little "academy" and tried to figure out what they were doing. I guess they probably have some almost legit scheme for marketing if you actually can get going with their little plan. Maybe that is for some people. I, however, still never got to the part where they said they would be charging a "maintenance fee" or the international fees either. My bank also had credited me back everything due to "not receiving purchased goods or services". Hopefully others can get the same results after calling that number. Good luck!

On 10/25/2017 after receiving an email to my Yahoo acct., I accepted a free trial offer from Direct Commerce Academy for a minimal chare of $2.95. However when i entered my bank info. Iwas advised a fee of $138.67
would be charged after 5 days. I cancelled the transaction at that point. However, the company has charged my account the $138.67 as of 10/26.
I called their [protected] customer service No. and was advised they could only cancel future billing, that I had accepted the current charges.
This company needs to be STOPPED.
I am tring to work this out thur my Bank, but doesn't look too good at this point.
THIS COMPANY NEEDS MAJOR EXPOSURE FOR THEIR FRAUDELENT ACTS.

This company managed somehow to obtain my Visa credit/debit card information and took money out of my account without my permission! I tried to contact them and I spoke with the "co-founder" of this scam organization and was told there was nothing that they could do to stop the charges against my account.

if you want to arrest the people you can go here in the phillipines there have a third party call center here and the owner is mon zabala.the member annaliza barcelona joanna blas arrest them they are rich now becouse of the dca...the name of the company is allez contact center...

The owner of eHarbor is oliver bigler. He is a professional scam artist. I know because I used to work there. We were trained from Oliver himself to not tell the customer that they would be charged even though we told them they were getting a "free trial". Free nothing. Not to mention it's a one size fits all program and it doesn't fit most customers. It simply doesn't work. It's a total scam. Oliver has set up several companies to try and hide behind so you never know who to call to complain and get a refund. He sincerely is a scam artist. I quit, I couldn't take the high pressure sales tactics full of half truths and empty promises.

DIRECT COMMERCE ACADEMY is a SCAM! I signed up on Friday and by the next two days (Saturday and Sunday) tried to cancel my 3 day free trial and NOBODY was available on the toll free number they gave you on the website to help cancel my membership. Sure enough, coming Monday (the third day), DIRECT COMMERCE ACADEMY charged me $139.95. My bank changed my debit card and stopped further (unauthorized) transactions. I fought with this place to get my money back for two months, also expressing my opinions of them as senseless, worthless, inhumanitarian way of business of "helping people make money easy and fast" by not even considering ways to keep me as a customer.

DIRECT COMMERCE ACADEMY IS SUCH A SCAM! WHO READS THE SMALL FONTS TERMS AND CONDITIONS AFTER $2.97 TO JUST TAKE A PEEK AT WHAT IS IT ABOUT! THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT SAID AFTER 5 DAYS WITHOUT CANCELING IT WILL CHARGE A SERVICE FEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT! $139.95 HAD BEEN WITHDRWAN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT! I WAS STUCK @ A GAS STATION TRYING TO PUMP GAS AND HAD TO DEAL WITH MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY! WHAT A PAIN! THEY ARE LOCATED IN BELIZE AND THEY WOULD NEVER TELL US THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION LIKE A PHYSICAL ADDRESS! THEY ARE AN OUT OF COUNTRY SCAMS WHO DOES NOT CARE THAT IF YOU HAD THE MONEY FOR THEM TO WITHDRAW YOU WOULDN'T BE TRYING TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE! I GOT SCREWED OVER AND DEFINITELY PUT UP A FIGHT! A GUY WITH AN ACCENT KEPT TELLING ME NO REFUNDS UNTIL I KEPT GOING SAYING THAT I WILL GET MY LAWYER AND BANK TO DO AN INVESTIGATIVE PROCEDURES AND WILL GET THEIR SITE EXPOSED AND SHUT DOWN! WELL, THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A COURTESY FOR $70! I EVENTUALLY TOOK IT BECAUSE I HAD TO GO TO SLEEP BUT I WILL PROBABLY CANCEL MY CARD AND HAVE THE CREDIT CO. INVESTIGATE AND REFUND ME BACK MY MONEY THAT IS MARKED AS A FRAUDULENT . I WILL GET MORE BANK THAN HALF THE CHARGE THAT THEY WOULD REFUND ME BUT WHO KNOWS THEY SAID FROM 7-10 DAYS IT WILL BE BACK ON MY CREDIT WITH AN EMAIL CONFIRMATION AND GAVE ME A CONFIRMATION CODE ALSO. STILL DDN'T GET ANY EMAIL. I NOTICED ON THE CALL THERE WERE MANY PAUSES LIKE SOMEONE WAS ALSO LISTENING OR MY COMMENTS WERE HEARD BY SOMEBODY ELSE THERE WERE SOMEONE WHO IS AGREEING TO MY ARGUMENT(THAT WILL GET THEM IN TROUBLE) OR IF I DON'T PUSH FOR IT AND NOT SAY KEY WORDS LIKE INVESTIGATE, SUE, LOCATION ETC THERE WILL BE NO REFUND! HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN! THERE IS DEFINITEY SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT THIS "COMPANY." THE SITE HAS NO CONTACT INFO BUT RANDOM CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBERS AND NO ADDRESS. I BELIEVE THAT SOME OTHER COUNTRIES NOW ARE TECHNOLOGICALLY DEVELOPED BUT DOES NOT HAVE MONEY AND THEY WILL DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO GET FREE MONEY! THERE SITE IS JUST CONNECTED OR OTHER WORDS A GATEWAY TO LEGIT SITE LIKE THE BLOGGING SITE OR CLICK BANK...BUT THERE SITE HAS NOTHING. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE I FELL FOR IT. NOTHING IS FREE OR WHEN YOU FEEL IT IS T OO GOOD TO BE TRUE..IT IS! WHEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE MONEY TO MAKE MONEY ESPECIALLY ONLINE IT IS A RED FLAG! PLEASE BE CAREFUL! I WILL NOT LET THIS GO! THEY WILL BE CURSED AND GET WHAT IS COMEING TO THEM.I HATE LIERS AND SCAMS!

This bull---and for the one who said it is our fault for not reading the tiny fine print that I never saw you are crazy.. This people are ripping everyone off and when you call you get the run around big time. Melanie is who I talked to after I first talked to a very rude gentleman who hung up on me. I agreed to the $2.97 charge to look at this page and when I read that it would cost what was stated at $39.95 a month I said no way and went no further with it.. I never watched a video or anything. Then they charged $68.71 which is supposed to be a monthly charge. I said for what? I have done nothing with this. Talked to a supervisor who surprise has no boss above her..yeah right. Then she said they do not handle these things and they do not call people back. Bull--I will call a lawyer. And again to the one that wrote it was our fault you probably work for them. dks1957

I used my NetSpend card (which had a total balance of $9.00) to purchase the $2.97 plan. Now the card has $6.03. Needless to say, the site failed to recognize my username and password but, wtf. I rarely ever use this card. Wont they be surprised! If I need to pay a bill over the phone or online I just put the money on the card and spend it within the hour to keep a minimal balance. Yeah, I got beat for $2.97, what a pathetic scam - but I'd still like to get 10 minutes in a room with any of these pathetic cowards!

I THINK IT IS NOT THE WRONG OF THIS COMPANY IF YOU GUYS WER'E CHARGED... FIRST OF ALL IF YOU WILL SEE THEIR WEBSITE THEY FOLLOW THE RULES TO PUT THE TERMS ANYWHERE ON THEIR SITE AND WHEN YOU SEE THE NEXT PAGE YOU WILL NOTICE A CLEAR PRINT ABOUT THE CHARGES AFTER 5 DAYS IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE OR NOT... LET'S NOT BLAME OTHERS WHILE WE SHOULD BE DISGUSTED WITH OURSELVES IF WE ARE TOO TIRED TO READ.. SHAME ON YOU GUYS!

I JUST DID THE SAME THING LAST NIGHT! READ ALL THE POSTS TODAY, CALLED TO CANCEL, SPOKE WITH MELANIE WHO HAS NO LAST NAME. SHE SAID SHE COULD NOT GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION! SO I ASKED FOR HER SUPERVISORS NAME AND SHE SAYS I CAN'T GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION EITHER UNLESS YOU SPEAK WITH THEM PERSONALLY AND THEY GIVE IT TO YOU! OK WELL LET ME SPEAK WITH YOUR SUPERVISOR, SHE SAYS "NOT AVAILABLE. I ONLY JUST SIGNED UP LAST NIGHT SO MAYBE THEY WILL NOT STEAL $139.00 FROM MY ACCOUNT!

I was charged the $139.95 and right after that, they proceeded to charge me a payment of $39.99. I was really mad- totally PISSED. I called and canceled the account and I have not yet received the e-mail confirmation. I may take further precautions and cancel my debit (or even my bank account). The customer support guy didn't tell me his name or anything. It was just, " Why are you calling today?" and I told him that I was calling to cancel my account and he told me that they were going to charge me another $39.99 and that would be all. UHHH... NO. This is a total scam. I'm deeply thinking about calling them to credit both those unexpected charges to my account because they were falsely advertising.

I was told the exact same thing, a trial charge of $2.97 for information about their company. It is in their terms an conditions that they will charge your account a one time fee of $138.67 and $58.91 per month for the duration of your membership. They charged my account two times for the $2.97 and I never saw the other charge until it was already withdrawn from my account. I too feel stupid for being scammed by these people. I just wanted to make a little extra money working from home. The advertisement that hooked me was about a woman in the city I live that had lost her job and started making extra income at home.

Never again! I'm still fighting with my bank about these charges.

Good luck to everyone else they've stolen from.

I canceled as soon as I read this page and am like "Ashamed mom", very ashamed that I fell for this. I managed to get it canceled by stubborness. KEEP CALLING THEM ! One says you have to wait 5-7 hours before your account is created while another tells you an hour. I kept calling them and in the end she told me she cancelled it and I got a conformation code. I am dreading looking at my credit card statement to come. I cant believe I am this stupid. I know better.

I just paid the $2.97 S&H and turned around and canceled as soon as I read this page. I am so ashamed of myself for falling scam again. Yes I fell for the acai berry weight loss scam. I honestly cant believe I did this. If you have any gut feeling that this or anything else may be a scam then DON'T DO IT! I had that gut feeling and did it anyways. When you cancel, be very cautious and listen to their wording because they do try to trip you up. It is very sad that there are people out there that still take advantage of people. Its a dog eat dog world for sure.

I signed up for what I thought was a no strings attached work from home internet link for $ 2.95 this sounded great and well 5 days later, they debited my account for $ 139.95! I called DCA who told me i could have a partial refund, I said no i want all my money back I did not authorize your company to do this ! so on 09/26/10 i was told they started my full refund back to me and that i should not be signing up for a company i know nothing about ! excuse me a**clown i sent away for information on your company and never receive any ifnormation ! so i've called this company for my refund status i was told the first time it would take 5 days to 7-10 days then i asked for a supervisor who told me it could take 30 days ! i told her that i was prepared to go to my bank to file a dispute she told me oh no dont do that because i have seen several refund disputes come in and this will take 60 days ! and that my refund was sitting in a "que" and not going anywhere so she had to cancel and re-request the refund i told this lady great now im out and addtional 7 days ! she said no it would go thru now ! in 30 days ! what haha omg this company ! i told her i see i'm not the only person with this issue of them taking money when they should'nt be ! i will go to my bank file a dispute and file a complaint at the BBB the lady hung up on me ! So i start reviewing online this Direct Commerce Acedemy they are scammers ! Everybody is getting jerked around by this company ! So I wonder how many Complaints/Unathorized Charges will this company continue to get away with before they are shut down ?! Sue Mad in Sacto, Calif -

I signed up on Nov. 11, 2010 for a kit to start my own home based company, they offered this kit for 2.97 . Not only did i not receive the kit, but on December 5, 2010 they charged my checking account for an additional 68.71 . They claim that I did not cancel in the alotted time frame of 5 days therefore I am getting this charge and there is nothing I can do about it. They cancelled my account...I have been dealing with my Credit Card Company now for 3 days...I am told that I will be getting my money back...but it will take 7-10 business days...I fall in the 30 day guarentee refund...zone...but after more than 4 hours of debates on the phone with there rude people...I gave up and let the CC people deal with them...this is nothing more than a SCAM...there web page says nothing about a 70 dollar charge if you do not cancel in 5 days...we need to shut these people down...what they are doing is nothing short of FRAUD...

I didn't agree to the charge. I was told a packet would be sent and to look over. Nothing arrived. Now I an being charged $138.67 and it's a fraud! I was on hold with the company for 75 mins and nothing! How can they do this! We are looking for help working and they scam us? I read the entire site and nothing was said about a additional charge of $138.67 would be taken in 4 days. I never would have agreed. Has anyone gotten the money back?

In trying to find a work at home job I came across the link for DCA. I read what they had to say about the product and watched one of the videos. I do not recall seeing anything about being charged $139.95 for the program. I have been very careful in reading the fine print as I have lost money before not doing so. When I checked my account I could not figure out what this charge was for. I called my Bank right away and was given the 800 number for DCA. I called them and spoke with JC? who told me that there was a 5-day free trial and all they could give me back would be $70. His English was almost incomprehensible, I have no idea what country he could be from and he spoke as if he didn’t want to be heard. When I asked why I couldn’t’ have the full amount refunded he put me on hold. When he came back on the line he still insisted that all I could get back was $70. I went ahead and agreed but it dawned on me that I could get the Bank to put a stop payment on it and so get my money back. The Bank said that as it was in process I would have to wait until it posted and then call their direct claims dept and report the problem. This is exactly what I will be doing and anyone else out there that this happens to, call your Bank and have them stop the payment no matter how long it takes to get it sorted out. When DCA starts losing money with this plan, maybe then they will be forced to pull the plug on themselves.

You have the nerve to charge my credit card without my permission I will give this over the the authority, the promisesyou made never happend, but you took something from me with out permission,
and I will take action agains this.

I also signed up for the $2.97 fee and was charged a second fee of $2.97 and then a charge for $61.01 and a foreign Transacti0n fee of $2.21. total overcharge of $66.19. I did not get the kit ... I cannot get thru to their phone # . I am going to dispute thru my credit card. I am hoping they will hepl me as I have been banking with them since 1988. this whole process is a scam and should be reviewed legally ! SHUT THEM DOWN AND PUT THEM IN JAIL !

i did this thing through DCA. i paid the $2.95 or whatever it was to get the info on how to work from home. THEN LIKE 2 DAYS LATER THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A 5 DAY TRIAL AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE OTHER CHARGES IF I WANTED TO GO THROUGH WITH IT. I HAD THE OPTION TO SAY YES OR NO. YOU ALL MUST HAVE MISSED THAT PHONE CALL. the $2.95 was ONLY to be able to read and listen to the tutorials on how to work from home. if you want to use the company you have to pay a monthly membership fee. they make you a website to work from. then you load products you want to sell on your website. as they say, you have to spend money to make money. the advertisement or whatever you saw was probably the same one i saw. people claiming to make $5000+ a month working from home. did you really think there was not some sort of a "catch" to it. you will make $5000+ a month and not have to pay someone for the resources they give you. that is the way of the world. how do you think anybody makes any money? nothing in life is free. go sell something on ebay. you have to pay ebay sellers fees for being able to use their services. i dont think anybody got "ripped off" you just didnt "read the fine print"

guys next time please read everything first and don't get too excited. these people working on this company have morals and seen an opportunity on this program and have faith on their service. they stand to they're terms cause they really do have and this business stands for long cause they have valid reasons to charge you since you agree to their terms when you sign up

I fell for this scam as well - I called my bank and they immediately canceled my debit card number and will issue me a new one so no further charges will occur. They got my $2.97, but that's all they're going to get. I feel so stupid signing up for this without researching it first. What a scam!

This is the link that spells out the terms and conditions. It took me quite a research to get to this page, but it´s from them! Hope this helps out everybody out there...
