J2 Global Billing

I have 2 complains. 1. J2 Global Communications charge me twice per month instead of once per month. When I called them they say it is an "error" and that they will give me a credit (no refund). 2. They had a problem with their servers and my eFax did not work for two months. Called them, they have fixed the problem and only offers me 1 month refund instead of the 2 months i was without services even though it was their fault. I refuse the "deal" since I don't want to pay for a services I did not received.

J2 Global Charge with fraud account

Yesterday we found a charge of $19.99 from J2 Global communication of eVoice service. We didn't buy the service but the charge was made. So, we called our credit card company and asked about it. They said we might have got the service by chance since there are many hidden services. But, they found that it used an old expiration date for our credit card and they would do the investigation. Then, I called J2 Global Communication. They claimed that they have all our information and we bought the service a couple of days ago. We said it is fraud since we didn't buy the service and also my credit card company found that it was from our old credit card (old expiration date) that was not used since we got a new card last Summer. Also, we found J2 has a wrong email address for us. That confirmed it as a fake account and J2 promised to cancel the service and return the money. I asked them to do fraud investigation and charge the person who did it, but they refused to investigate it as a fraud. A strange thing is how anybody is going to buy a voice-forward/fax service with a fake account. Also, we used only paid-phones that can not have those services at all. Is there anyway to charge those guys who makes fake accounts?

Getting unto this site I am not surprised seeing that there are lot of complaint already about the so called J2 Evoice. I have a similar problem with them. First of all this shoe box company operate from India and they claim they are in the California. secondly, it doesn't make much of a sense to charge extra $10 for a service that cost 9.95 even if you do not meet payment for one day for any reason.
I was told this and I then transferred the payment to my credit card from the prepaid card I had initially used, reason being I suspected the credibility of this shoe box company after I had spoken to one of the consultants from India.
My card was charged 19.95 all the way for 9 months as against the 9.95 we agreed upon.
People should be aware and not use the services of this company at all, they are fraudsters and there are better companies that are reputable and they offer the same services even for less.

J2 Global eFax credit card fraud

A transaction from EFAX appeared on my credit card account that occurred on 02/22/2010. The transaction was with EFAX in the amount of $16.95. I did not authorize this transaction. I do not have an account with EFAX and had never heard of them until this transaction occurred.

I contacted EFAX via telephone on 02/23/10 and was told by the EFAX representative that they closed the EFAX account for fraudulent activity, and that they would credit my card within 3 to 5 business days. No credit was made on to my card within that time period. I called back to EFAX on 03/02/2010, and was told this time, that it would take 5-15 business days for the credit to appear on my card. No credit from EFAX was ever posted to my card. On 03/09/2010, I sent them an e-mail requesting that they credit my card immediately. They never responded. I filed a dispute on 03/10/10 with my credit card company. I also contacted a law firm that posted contact info on this website to share with them my story. I hope EFAX gets prosecuted for credit card fraud! I'm so glad I did a search online to see if there were any complaints about this company and so glad I could post my story here! Thank you!

As a user of evoice plus' product, my company had grown to the point where i needed to upgrade to evoice receptionist. The website makes it appear that upgrading is an easy process with a 30 day free trial.

What they don't tell you is that you'll have to change all your marketing and advertising because they choose not to port numbers from within their own services.

When talking to customer support, the woman was rude, interrupted several times, and refused to listen to my questions regarding why it could not be done.

An email was sent apologizing for the poor customer support, but claimed that because they get the numbers from two different "pools, " it is impossible for them to port the numbers over, and because they are not a true communications provider, but a reseller, the fcc laws do not apply to them.

I am currently discussing matters with an attorney. I would have never signed up for evoice receptionist - - indeed, i would have never signed up for evoice plus - - had i known that it would be impossible to port telephone numbers. Their website implies they can port any number over to their service, yet they refuse to do so with me. I even offered to pay whatever costs were involved in the number porting up to $1000 to facilitate the transfer, but j2 appears to hold firmly to their conviction that they do not have to follow laws which require telecommunication companies to allow numbers to be ported over from one service to another.

Another thing: beware of any "telecommunications company" that does not have the infrastructure to transfer calls within the company, instead placing the burden on you to write down and / or remember a new number or email to contact.

J2 is such a company. I am ashamed and embarrassed to have ever even thought they were an ethical and reputable company.

I just signed up for the MyFax and something was telling me it was a fraud. I should have looked it up. Well I couldn't log in. I had to cancel my credit card, they charged me $1.38 for what. Now I am going to have to change all of my accounts, it is only $10.00 USD, but who knows if they really cancelled it as I asked. I cancelled it without even looking this up. Serves me right for not listening to my gut. I am in Canada and it would have cost me more than $10.00 and I can't access the site.

J2 Global Fraudulent charges

A$$holes charged me $29.95 for some kind of eFaxing service. Never heard of them. I disputed the charge with my bank and I'm sure I'll get my money back, but in the meantime, they had to inactivate my card. I have to wait a week for the new card to come. Since that's pretty much all I ever use to buy anything, it's a huge inconvenience.

I did a WHOIS lookup on their website. Here's their contact info in case anyone wants to egg their office or put their phone number on bathroom stalls or sign them up for all kinds of spam:

DNS servers:

These people should be locked up. I hope they are inconvenienced at least as much as all of the others they've screwed over.

J2 Global Lost business

This company is likely in violation of FCC regulations. We used them for their virtual service, multiple extentions. On numerous occasions the system just shut down, or reset all our settings to default. Customers could not reach us, or leave messages. Numerous calls to tech support yielded nothing but apologies and they outsource their call center somewhere outside the US. I asked them politely to port our toll free line away and they told me that "we decided recently not to do this". This company is a sham, and they gladly take your money.

Dear Mr./Madam, I am japanese living at work in Brazil. There are several friends in US that I would like to talk more frequently to. So, I reactivate my NYC phone number and arranged to "ONEBOX.COM" to forward all call that I could receive to my cell phone number in Brazil.
Well, for personal reason, I decided to cancel the service. In their advertisement they said about "free 30 days trial period..." FAKE!
By several times I contacted Onebox.com by e-mail and by phone to cancel the service within "one or two weeks". HOWEVER THEY DO CHARGED MY AMEX CREDIT CARD! SO I WAS OBLIGATED TO CANCEL THAT !

Honestly, this was the first time that I had trouble with an US company!

All the times that I tried to contact them by their 'Chat', there was only one attendant: "Ms. Myriem Guessous". Myriem works on "J2 Global Communications" that owns to the same business group...

THE MAIN QUESTION: "I HAVE CANCELLED THE SERVICE IN GOOD TIME (LESS ONE MONTH). HOWEVER, ANOTHER COMPANY, IN CALIFORNIA (HOLLYWOOD) had CHARGED ME! ONE COMPANY THAT I NEVER HAD HEARD about BEFORE!

SO, BEWARE! RUNAWAY "ONBEBOX.COM", "http://www.j2global.com/".

God save US and keep it away from these kind of companies to keep safe his good looking regarding to honesty and liability!

Very sincerly,

ERICK

We have had a terrible experience with onebox trying to steal our 888 number. We had service with another company (tollfreeexpress) that was taken over by onebox. The services we had with tollfreeexpress do not work now and they have refused to port our number away even though we had no agreement with them. We have filed a complaint with the FCC and are still trying to get our number away from them.

J2 Global continued billing for services not requested

These people keep billing me for services I never ordered. I have cancelled all services twice, and yet they continue to bill me. Each time they tell me it was a computer error and that they will be sending me back the money they have billed me. Each time it is a lie.

I agree with the previous comment. This company is outrageous and l would not recommend them under any circumstance.Several times I have tried to cancel their service as l do not require it and yet l am still being charged.

J2 Global Bad service

A charge of $179.50 appeared on my credit card for a company I never heard of. I called the company in question from the number displayed on the charge my credit card company supplied. A lady named Vanessa with a foreign accent offered to cancel the charge and gave me a confirmation number, she then started asking personal financial information. I refused to give her anymore info and she replied that the charge would be cancelled. The number I called was [protected]. I then called my credit card company and the said since the charge was already processed, they would send me a dispute form and I must return it ASAP.

This same thing happened to me, except:

- it was my credit card company that contacted me questioning the charge
- the charge was for $173.94

Capital One gave me the same phone number to call as listed in the original complaint. I haven't bothered to call, but instead have taken care of this through the credit card company (same deal - dispute form which I have to sign and send right back.

J2 Global J2 Stole my phone number

On March 27th, J2 Communications stole my phone number which I have had for over 15 years. It appears that someone switched it on the internet into my sons name. Obviously this was done without my permission. I lost a lot of business not to mention an incredible amount of hassle and wasted time. I wrote J2 and asked for compensation, but they did not respond. Mr. Sean Hitchings the President is acting in a very unethical manner. He does not respond to my request for mediation nor any form of communication. He won't even apologize or offer anything for his mistake. Nor will he Now it turns out they have an unregulated phone company, however they were supposed to get my permission BEFORE taking my phone number. This is an example of an unethical company from the top down. I would like compensation or at least an explanation of how my number was taken, including who did it. If they don't respond I will have to take them to small claims court.
