Membership services reviews and complaints

Same thing happened to me and it was debited out of my husband's account. What [censored]s, now it's cancelled, and I'm trying to find a phone number to call. Wish me luck I hope they'll give me my money back

My story is exactly the same. I never received a packet, nor did I know that $29.95 was being taken from a propay account I rarely look at. This happened 8 times. Those were from SEM -Budget Savers. What a scam. Has anyone determined how to get a refund? I cancelled this bogus account on 10-16-2016. They sent a confirmation of the cancellation. Since I now had an address, I sent them a request to POBox 658, Hopkins, MN [protected]. Asking what I was being charged for. I never got a reply.

This company took money out of my account and overdrew the account. I was only suppose to get the free sample. I guess it's true, nothing good is free. I need to find a way to get my money back

This Is SO Rediculous, I Just found out That My Card Has Also Been Charged By This Company... And I Have NO Idea Why? I Have Had To Cancell My card... And Of Course Can Not Get Ahold Of AnyOne To Find Out Y Or How They Have & Are Charging My Card... I Am So Beyond Upset, Mad, & SICK Over This Situation, Its Not Even Funny! I WILL Figure Out What Is Going On And How To Get My $$ Back...

I am also in this same exact situation. This all stemmed from trying to order the frying pans that are "orgreenic nonstick", which by the way ended up being 2x as much as the price at which they are advertised on TV. The phone call took 23 minutes not 1x being able to talk to a real live person. When all was said and done the pans were something like 75.00 and I also had 2 other charges from "member services"
I never received a welcome package or gift card of any sort! Is there a way to stop this SCAM? all I would like is to have my money back. I am very dissatisfied and this experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth as to ordering anything in the future from the TV.

This same matter has happened to me also! I never received any package or card of any kind either! And I am getting my debit card charged the same amount of $24.95 also! This so called membership scam was offered to me when I ordered Sensa over the phone! What to do? A very unsatisfied customer in Queen Creek, AZ I would like to have my money returned also!

I had the same thing happen to me. They charged my card for over 100$ over 3 months. How do I report them?

I just noticed that they took 24.95 out my account twice this month. I called the number on the statement and cancelled this membership. Just like you I dont remember agreeing to this. From some other posters here it seems to start with an online software purchase. The first time they took money out of my bank account it was for 1.95 in Jan of 2011. Whatever it was it sure wasn't worth $100. Next time I'll pay the full amount for my software. Meantime, I've filed a complaint with my state's attorney general. Next stop my bank for a new debit card.

I don't ever recall visiting this web site and requesting a membership, but they have debited my checking account for $19.95

i discovered a charge of 24.95 on my debit card that i dont even know where it came from. number was [protected]. i want my money back into my account asap

They tried to get me to subscribe for magazines to get a free gift card

you can call them back and get a mailing address to get a recording of the phone call in which you had signed up with the memberships. that way you can listen to it and make sure you just didn't forget or something.

@ Skeptical: if you had bothered to read the Terms and Conditions, you would have known that NAPW is protected, as it clearly states within their contract that they do renew your membership automatically. However, I have recently heard a lot of negative things about this org. Just for fun, I totally made up a fake name and company to see if they would accept me. And no surprise, my fictitious persona was magically accepted in three minutes. This means they don't bother to fact-check anything, which translates to zero security of members and a bunch of baloney in their prized Directory. To that end, they remain a totally bogus org that only wants your cash.

This company is a joke. Unfortunately, I fell for the initial membership- I was invited into their "special group" and, was initially asked to pay $900! I was appalled and tried to get off the phone ASAP. The lady, Andree, was able to reduce my membership to $99 as a trial. NO WHERE ON MY PAPERWORK/EMAILS does it say that my membership was set to automatically renew, at a higher rate, annually. (See attachments- if it will let me attach the 4 pages) Also, please note that it was called a "trial" membership, further explaining my temporary membership status. I quickly realized that I had just paid a group of people to SPAM me for an entire year and had no intention of renewing this membership. While reviewing my credit card statement last month, I noticed they had charged me a renewal fee of $199. I made several attempts to call and cancel after I saw this charge and it took several days to have someone get back to me. Then I was offered a $99 credit. No thanks. I want ALL of my money back. After feuding with the representative, she offered me an additional reimbursement of $50 ($149 total). Again, NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I wish I had done my research prior to signing up. BEWARE!

In May, 2011, I fell for the manipulative telemarketing scheme, paid the exorbitant initial membership fees, only to find out that all of the promises are a complete hoax.

However, I will not tolerate their threat to access my account for payment without my permission by stating in their email dated May 10, 2012 that "Your annual renewal of $99 has been processed, so there will be no interruption in your membership."

I have cancelled my credit card, reported the company for fraud to the New York State Attorney General, Metropolitan New York Better Business Bureau, [redacted], among others.

Angela must be an employee or Craig disguised as Angela. Wouldn't put it past him. Eely people can make themselves look like anything.

I received a post card in the mail and completed and returned it. I just received a very lengthy phone call. This membership that I thought was free, started out at $689 and ended up at $289 before I told them I was not interested at all. Beware ladies!

Scary Angela, you can't even spell correctly. No plaque is worth that type of money. It's NOT a networking organization for women. It's a company that you pay to compliment you and pay to give yourself a plaque.

I am currently an Elite Member with the National Association of Professional Women and purchased a plaque and I am highly satisfied with this comapny. I have spoken with both people Audrey and Shameeza and they do give a direct extension you can contact them at. Nothing is free, I asked the same question but a profile listing with your name on the website is complemetary.

The same thing has happened to me. Within 1 hour of ending my phone call with a Shameeza Mohammed, i e-mailed them to cancel the membership. Nothing happened. Then today a Craig Bifulco called and said "I understand you have questions about your membership" and i said that i didn't have questions, i wanted to CANCEL it. He offered me a membership given to retired woman, for "only $249". I kept asking if i could cancel completely and he finally said no. I asked why and he said "Well your name has already been published on our website and unless we find another Sarah A...Senior A/R Rep, we can't cancel it.

I, too, will be disputing it w/my credit card company b/c i am disgusted. Please keep me posted on your progress b/c it's the same thing on this end...got the postcard in the mail which said FREE.
