Just had my credit card cancelled due to two in a row monthly charges that sent flags up at my bank. I called and they asked me if i had purchased from helpmedownload.com and I didn't. The first time I wasn't sure, but thought that maybe I had bought something, but I know I don't have anything I owe monthly for 9.88. call your bank and canel your card.

Its a website that will charge if u become member. They provide softwares which are all free, this is a rip-off.
All the softwares in their website are all freeware or trial versions, you can get it by yourself by going to the official website of those softwares.

I suggest that you call them and ask for a full refund of everything that you been charged for since the start. Even if they insist of the 7 day guarantee, refuse it, threaten them that you will call your bank if they dont give you a full refund, if they mention any process fee refuse it also, you have the right to get everything, just give them a threat that you will call your bank, this companies are afraid of cash backs it will cause them more.

I had a debit of $37.00 from this company I called them spoke to "ronald" in INDIA I believe and he offered to refund my charge but with a processing fee of $9.95. I questioned this charge so he placed me on hold spoke to his supervisor (or went and got a coke) and came back an refunded my entire charge stating it can take 5 -40 days to receive credit.. cross your fingers for me...

i ordered a 1 time download from Mozilla and now I am getting billed for the past 4 months $9.96 for xp which I do not have. This computer is equiped with Vista, so why am I being charged for xp and who authorized this service. I need some answers. I am currently on the phone talking to the site and it appears that we may have the matter taking care of. Thank you. Sheri Thurman

I have never heard of this company and I certainly did not give them my credit card #, but they cotinue to charge me monthly, they are a ripoff plain and simple, cannot get a hold of them over the phone. PEOPLE BEWARE! I am having a very hard time getting this issue resolved.

I am sending this email in order to request credit of $63.70 for a transaction done on 110608.

I no longer need this because I have found another way to resolve this. Actually, i was not aware that I was being billed. i thought this was a free download of software I was attempt.

Here is the information pertaining to my request:

order/transaction# [protected]
email address: shawnhuckabee@bellsouth.net
account name Mary or Shawn Huckabee
Credit card used- Visa
[protected]

I have spoke with Dee (ref# 454247) and Nick (ref#454245)concerning this request. I was informed by both that they could not locate my account. i find that odd since you could find my account to billing but you can't find it to credit me. i was also told that your company is undergoing a system upgrade which is making your system running slow and delaying the resolve of my request.

Please handle this as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this matter.

Mary Huckabee

Have been unable to relocate sight to query or stop payments, and now have 4 months of payments, increasing monthly.

I was also charged $16.70 on my credit card by this company. I saw it on my credit card statement for June and I didn't recognize the name of the company. I received an email today from "rebills@helpmedownload.com", it mentioned that they will charge my credit card again for July. I called the customer service number that was with the email. The person I spoke to wanted me to verify my email address and my address. I didn't fell comfortable giving my address as "How would they have my address?" I never gave them my address in the first place. I asked if he had my address in front him, he said no. But, he wanted me to verify my address as he couldn't find me in their system?. I refused to give him my address but conviently he was able to pull up my info with the just my City and Province?. He said he will issue a refund and it will take 15 to 30 days. He said that my computer will not get security updates now that I have cancelled the membership. He was not too concerned that I didn't authorize this monthly charge. I have contacted my credit card company inregards to this and they will issue me a new credit card number.

Hello M. Byram,

I do apologize for any inconvenience or confusion about this. We are not scam, we do not sell software from the website. Customeres are paying for the unlimited technical assistance that they can get by having a membership with us. We also have more than 500 software that we support. They can download music software and programs that can protect their computer.

There are issues about the charges but those customers are not well informed about the services that we have. We are glad to explain it to you by contacting us anytime.

Hi Glam01,

I am a customer service representative from helpmedownload. I have read this complaint coming form our company. I do understand your situation now. You mentioned that you were able to contact us regarding this issue. It sounds like you did not authorize the transaction on your card, the representative was asking for your EMAIL ADDRESS and COMPLETE NAME for verification. He needs all those information to help you out regarding the cancellation, if the account is not under your name we will disclose the information and explain all the things about the membership and if we find out that all the charges are not authorized we are going to make an approriate action for it.

We are trying to help you out with this issue, so we just need your cooperation. I know that you were frustated when you called us and I apologize for that.

If you do have questions about the refund, you can call us anytime since we are open 24/7.

WARNING TO ALL CONSUMERS. On 02.01.14 HelpMeDownload.com fraudulently took £81.58 from my credit card without any prior notification of this amount and without my authorisation. I have tried contacting them on numerous occasions by email as soon as I became aware of this action requesting that they return this money immediately and have had no response whatsoever. My credit card company are now investigating the matter. Do not go anywhere near this company - I have since found that even their website is blocked as malicious.

I recently had two transactions on my credit card account and didn't know what they were. I have discovered that they come from mp3musicHQ.com under other names such HelpMeDownload.com & Saphie Number One Limited. However the reference numbers are the same on all of them. I used a link on one of the postings here to try to make contact with them - to no avail. However there is an email link to the CEO, so I have sent mail with a timeframe for them to respond. I will post again when I get a response.
