fraudulent charges
I was foolish enough to believe the over 60 emails which assured me over and over that the charge for a year was $24. I paid my $24 on 2/10/2013 and visited the site maybe 3 times finding it not impressive. In March my money situation was pretty tight, when suddenly on 3/11/2013 a charge from ESPChat.com for $39.99 came through my bank. This unauthorized charge caused an overdraft charge, since I was not expecting this fraudulent charge. I sent them a message demanding my money, the first couple of messages were totally ignored. Finally they refunded the $39.99, said nothing about the overdraft they had caused and nothing about the $24 (the 60 plus emails said if not happy that the money would be refunded. I contacted the BBB and filed a complaint they reluctantly refunded the $24 but refuse to refund the overdraft charges. I NEVER signed up for any additional services at this site and did not authorize $39.99 much less getting stuck with a $33 charge because I thought this was a reputable company.

Mila is the hugest scam artist! The whole Esp chat and Mila, is a huge scam! They make money off of the interest on your credit card, even though you cancel and get your money back! Beware!

My name is Karen Swift and I signed up for the initial reading not realizing there would be additional charges. So I want to cancel with them and get my money back of $39.99 but cannot find a way to get in touch with them.

Dear Shirley,

We just want to confirm that a full refund has been issued to your credit card, including your $33 overdraft fee. You signed up for a $24 yearly membership and the Inner Circle membership on the same day. You had 30 days to cancel the Inner Circle if you did not want to be charged $39.99 after your free trial. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us: [protected].

Sincerely,

Connie, we want to thank you for contacting our customer service office on March 24, 2011 and per your request, we want to confirm that we immediately canceled your ESPchat membership and refunded the monthly membership fee to your credit card. We just want you to understand that the reason your credit card was billed for the monthly membership fee is due to the fact you signed up for our special trial offer to our website and did not cancel your membership when the trial offer was over.

Our customers can cancel their ESPchat membership at any time simply by logging onto the site with their personal login information and clicking the “Membership Cancellation” link located on the main menu. Our customer service can also be contacted directly by phone [protected]) or email (support@espchat.com). We send an invoice via email to our clients acknowledging any charges to their account for services on the site. It seems that you didn’t receive this email and we would like to know if it didn’t make it into your inbox. We are glad we were able to resolve your issue after speaking with you on March 24, 2011. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
