I signed up for the "free stuff" but all I get are dozens and dozens of daily spam in my box, i.e. porn, Russian brides, Oriental brides, etc. Fortunately, I did NOT give them my bank information. The Feds should look into this before they skip the country. I shop online only from reputed companies like Target and VONS (Safeway) and delete my bank information after the purchase. There is no such thing as free stuff in this world.
The to company's are associated with one another. To get to the point, I signed up for a FREE 1 MONTH...
My credit was charged for $34.95 every 19th or 20th of the month. Please be advised that I never authorized your Company to charged the mentioned amount but I found out that since last year you continuously charging the amount with out my permission. I will earnestly request your Company to refrain from charging or using my credit card and refund the charges you already charged to my credit card since last October 2010, otherwise I will file damages against this theft.
Hoping for your immediate actions.
Sincerely,
Josephine Venzon
My husband and I have been "raped and financially violated" by DealMax by stealing something they had no...
Recently I found out this co. Dealmax was charging membership fees on my credit card account .
I never heard of the company and I din not authorized any charge on account.
Apparently I was signed up by purchasing other item on internet and
I am more upset with marketers on internet allowing this kind of practice for their benefits.
I am going to find out which internet marketers allowing this scams
and I will put their names on this page as many as I could.
This company is affiliated with other online companies and is charging
your credit card illegally. It seems to be 19.95/month.
I noticed it today for the first time on my CC electronic statment,
it appears to blend in with other stuff you might have on your
credit card and doesn't stand out.
Mine has had changing dates ranging from the 18, 19, 15 of the month.
When I called the compnay to inquire I was hung upon a couple of times.
Then the compnay switched me to some other people and when I stated
I didn't authorize this they said yes I did.
I had to point out these were fraudulent charges and a web search
confirmed this is an ongoing problem.
NOTE: DLMax or DealMax is affiliated with over 70 other companites.
I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS!!!
tHEY HAVE MY CHECKING ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND HAVE BEEN TAKING $19.95 FROM MY ACCOUNT ONCE A MONTH FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS..
MY ACCOUNT IS NOW OVER-DRAWN.
THIS IS TOTAL BULL
This is a TOTAL Rip OFF
First they used a BOGUS Best Buy Logo
to Intiate best buy card holders to sign up for a Free $1000
Gift card at a $1.00 particapation fee
WALMART IS ALSO USED
Then in very small well hidden fine print tucked deep away in their
privacy policy it states by accepting these terms you will allow SCAM MAX To charge $29.95
monthly from your bank account to become a particapaiting member
I was not even sent a brochure, membership card or any email confirming I had unknowingly accepted
these charges till i inquired 6 months later and had my Bank disputE the charges
on a service I NEVER USED OR KNEW I WAS A MEMBER OF ?
This is nothing but a bunch of very lucrative lawyers who have set up a legal way to fraudently extract money from your bank account without ANY Notification that it was done
NEVER ACCEPT A FREE GIFT CARD FROM ANY INTERNET SITE
YOU'LL PAY FOR IT $$
How these scams work:
Consumers either receive a spam e-mail or come across a web advertisement or web site offering a Walmart or other well known gift card worth a large amount of money.
The consumer is taken to a website that is has branding that makes it appear to be a legitimate merchant (ex: Walmart), there the consumer will be asked to enter an email address, and other personal contact information; including address and phone number. The privacy policy on the site will typically indicate that this information will be sold to other businesses for their own purposes, such as telemarketing and junk mail.
Once this information is entered the consumers may be asked to take part in a series of surveys.
Once the surveys are complete (if they were offered at all), the consumer is given a number of webpages where they have to "participate" in a certain amount of "sponsor offers." The number of offers may vary, but they will end up costing the consumer a great deal of money in fees, subscriptions, and products. In addition, at the end of the process there is no guarantee that the consumer will even receive the branded gift card.
I NEVER AUTHORIZE .
There was a charge on my cc for $19.95 (2 times!!!) which I did not authorize. The charge was on 4/20 and 5/20!!! I called my chase cc and got a new cc, they give me the company phone # to stop the charges and is an answer machine, i did anyways. ingrid 6/8/09.
I was charged the same $19.95 for a membership I did not ask for. It was somethihg that I order that I only had to pay the SH, which was $4.95. Then you get an offer for a choice of 4 different gift cards. That's how they get your card# from the 4.95 you pay. The number was on my bank statement so I called them on 6/3/09 and they said it would be credited in 2-3 business days. I called them again this morning and of course another person tells me the same thing.
Note: It sounds automated, but if you enter you phone number the option 1 to cancel you can then hit # to speak with someone. Hope this helps
I noticed an unauthorized debit charge on my bank statement to some company called Dealmax. I contacted my bank and informed them that I had no idea who they were. I tried to call Dealmax but could not get through without a customer number. Their web site does not work. I canceled my debit card. I later found a way to get a call through by hitting the number 1 several times and then the pound sign. When I talked to a CS rep, I was told that I had authorized Dealmax to take $19.95 a month from my debit card. This is how it works: I ordered some vitamins from a company called Vitacost. After the order, the good folks at Vitacost sent me an on-line coupon for $20.00 off my next order. I clicked on the coupon to accept. In doing so I authorized Dealmax to charge my account each month. Nice scam. I'll never order from Vitacost again.
DealMax took money from my debit car for nothing, I never ask anything, I never bought anything.A DealMax...
This is a scam. I had ordered some cosmetics from a different website and when I had completed that order, I got the comeon..."which do you want as your reward for ordering, a Walmart 50 gift card, etc."
I was curious, so I clicked on Walmart gift card and wasn't interested in the "entertainment/mdse from major retail chains" that was being hawked. However, clicking on "no thanks" just brought me back to the top of the page. The e-mail address that I used for my original order was listed, and according to the fine print gave my permission to charge my credit card with $19.00 per month. SCAM!!! The number [protected] could not be reached except through the [protected] that is an automated directory where you have to have the city and state or you get nothing. AT&T was absolutely no help; in fact the supervisor??? I spoke to was rude and snotty and cut me off without any help. I belong to LifeLock so I'll see what they can do about this scam.
Dealmax took money from my checking account through my debit card. Request immediate REFUND of my money...
I cancelled the DealMax membership in March 2008. DealMax continued to bill me monthly until 2/21/09 for a...
Dealmax you have charged my Cread Card $19.95 Four i don't Know What. I have not give my card # to...
Deal max was authorized to take one dollar out of my credit card account, they took several. I had to cancel my credit card and get a new card. They are unethical in their practices and lie about what they are actually taking out of your account. One dollar does not mean three or four dollars. So I was not sure if they were going to continue to dollar me until I had no money so I cancelled my credit card, I think that's the only option I had. Anita
I just heard from my credit union and I had a charge from DealMax which I never authorized. The charge was for 29.95 plus 1.00 authorization charge. Interestingly, I haven't contact any such company or approved any charges from my card. The only thing I have done recently is hunt for a part-time at home work program. I went to several website for rebate processors but I didn't give any information regarding my debit card. Now I get to go sign papers to stop the charge and to get a new card. Great! I live with my debit card since most places won't take a check without a blood test!
i don't remember authorizing charges to my bank account, which keep accuring, and have caused overdraft fees as well!
unauthorized charges for Dealmax.com @19.95/month x 2 months
I was charged twice on 10-09-08 for 1.00 to my cc and 29.95 as well when I called and spoke with someone I told them then that I wanted it cancelled and credited back to my cc and then on 10-10-08 I was taken for another 2.00 or 3.00 from my cc and the 29.95 went through on 10-10-08 from my cc. Now once again I want this credited back to my cc ASAP if not credited back I will be filing fraud charges so I should have 33.95 back on my cc soon I hope and I cancelled this on 10-09-08. And on the 10-10-08 they still took it out. So with all do respect pleased credit this back to my cc.
Thank-You

Money has been taken out of my account without my authorization and I want it to stop
This company is a total fake. They stole my money. I don't know who they are or how they got my account number but if they don't give me my money, I will report them to the better business bureau immediately.
I never authorized charges. I expect a FULL REFUND
I too have recently found unauthorized charges on my account and jave not recieved promised gift card from dealmax, nor it's affiliates... I am attempting to resolve these matters, but have yet to speak to a representative. I keep getting "yanked" around by their automated system, which seems to be part of their ploy. My next recourse is to notify the US Federal Trade Commission and my congressman.
DealMax just hit my account in the last 24 hours. I received a call from my credit union and they had charged to my account. Now I have to go to the branch sign papers and get a new card and pin. I can only think of two things on the web that I inquired about and now they have managed to get to my account. I didn't give the companies any of my card information; however, I did purchase from an online auction last night. Off I go to the credit union and several days without a debit card. What a SCAM!
IN CASE U DON'T KNOW, THEIR # IS 1-800-548-0685
Yeah. I think they should be a bit more accessible if they're gonna be tricking people out of their money. Otherwise, just be an honest business. Thanks for the phone number by the way.
Thank you so much for giving a number to call. I like you have no idea what I'm paying for! I see a charge for 19.95 which caused my account to overdraft. For the last few days I had been trying to figure out who this company was and how to get hold of them. FINALLY I called and found out that not only had they taken out the 19.95, but took out the same amount each month for the last 3 months, (who knows how I missed that!!!). I told them I wanted my money back, they tried to tell me no, I flipped out. They said their gonna refund the 60.00 they took from me, after I told them that I went online and there was tons of people they did this same thing to. I got a reference number and an account number and ladies name I talked to, but I still don't know what I was being charged for, she wouldn't tell me and I still do not know how they got the info. Funny thing is, I lost my card 2 months ago and had to get a new one, so they not only had my old CC number, but somehow they ended up with my new number as well.!!! This is very scarey! I guess I'll see if they actually give me my money back. too bad they can't reimburse me for the overdraft charges. I'm gonna talk to my bank about that.
My personal information was obtained including my bank account information. Several charges were made by dealmax.com and dealpass.com. Also several other similar companies to the dealmax.com/dealpass.com accepted unauthorized memberships in my name and to my bank account, all other companies were helpful in canceling all memberships and refunding the charges to my account. For some odd reason this dealmax.com/dealpass.com can not be contacted except for automated voice recordings. The bank and I will take whatever action to resolve this issue!!
I am having the same problem. I never authorized Dealmax to set up a monthly transaction fee which they have been taking out for over two years. I never noticed because I thought it was our X-Box monthly fee which I did authorize. Called the bank and going after them to get my money back...over $800!!!
i was look at may bank acct online and saw that i had been charge 29.95 from this company call dealmax. i had no idea what this was. took this to my bank and they got me the phone #. when i try to call i was put on hold and no one came back to phone. i canceled my debt card so that i would not be charge again. the bank also pulled my acct and from march 6 to april 2 this compay had tried to debt my acct for 29.95. this is wrong. this company is stealing money from people accts without them know it. i would like to see if i can get my 29.95 back.
Deal max debited my account w/ out any consent. I do not even know who Deal Max is! No representative got back to me, when i attempted to contact them. I am angry!
I too have ben charged $29.95 2 time on my account on the same day. I don't know who this is. but From now on wil not be depositing my money on thi account.
i haved been charged an account$29.95 two times last september 18, and september 20, 2008 and charged $1 from september 20, 2008.from dealmax THROUGH our credit card, by FIACARD SERVICE NOTICE. we cannot pay that, we dont know who is" MR DEAL MAX" credited to our accounts with out my consent.
I am so appauled to know that I have been having this place called DEALMAX taking money out of my account. I found that they had been taking this money out every since May 06 09. I immediately called the bank to get this matter corrected. I would like to know how in the hell did you get my cc number. This is fraud and soon due you will be caught up with and penalized for your fraudential actions. The party is over where I am concerned, you will not charge another $19.95 to my card DEALMAX!!! signed ANGRY WOMAN.
