The company of PrivacyGuard (owned by Trilegiant Corporation) has UNETHICAL business practices and are a bunch of scammers.

Let me explain:

I rented a truck from Budget Trucks last year to make a cross-country move. Apparently PrivacyGuard mailed an $8 check to my old address and if I cashed the check, I would be automatically enrolled in a $13.99/month service to watch my credit. The only problem, I didn't cash the check as evidence by a copy PrivacyGuard provided me of the signed check. On the back it reads "For deposit only." The only problem is that is NOT MY SIGNATURE. The company falsified this and I was charged $13.99 a month from 3/9/2010 until 10/11/2010. I called them up and after much fighting they refunded two of my payments but they still stole $83.94 from me. This is completely UNETHICAL and they should be put in jail for stealing.

I may have accepted a $1 charge to look at the supposed benefits of this company, but accepted nothing further. The mistake I made was in submitting my $1 by credit card, making it easy for this company to bill me in the succeeding month for $129.99. I will report this to my credit card company as I have no intention whatsoever of paying for this scam.
