This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I have never even been to this site or its affiliates, yet somehow my bank info was used for a $70.00 charge. This is fraud and identity theft. Why is this site even still on the net? Please go a step further and report them to www.ftc.gov.

I did not sign up for this. I called and wrote to stop this as I did not ever agree to being charged $16.95 a month for WHAT? I receive nothing.
I just got my credit card bill and there are five yes 5 $16.95 charges all dated 6-21-08
How can Visa let this continue and where is our regulatory agency regarding fraud and abus? Is this not a federal offense?
You can bet if I charged on soeone else's credit card without their permission my bumm would go right to prison. Why is this company so special?

I two have noticed a debit to my account for 16.95. I have no I dea who these people are and who authorized them to debit my checking account especially if I didn't give them my account info. Who ever you are you need to refund my money NOW not 7 weeks from now. This is un called for for people who have nothing better to do than take someone elses money especially during these times.

i recieved my information pack from funscource and to claim my gift card i had to go to the web site and enter my subscriber id number. guess what, it doesn't work the number is invallid. also there was suppose to be a 14 day trial membership, i recieved the package on july 1, they charged my wifes credit card 19.95 on july 2nd. thats not 14 days in my world. i now have to print off this form and request a refund, if they feel it is warranted, maybe i'll get my 20bucks back, but i doubt it. someone should file a class action law suite against these crooks.My advice if oyu get a phone call from one of there pushy persistent, dishonest sales people, just say no and hang up.

I bought a book from Kevin Trudeau entitled Natural Cures Revealed. From the time of this purchase and they got a hold of my account number, funds in the amount of $19.95 has been withdrawn everymonth for the past three months. I have contacted the company and asked them to discontinue whatever program they have signed me up for; at that time they took $19.95 twice in the same month from my account. I am asking that funds be refunded or more drastic measures will be taken. I am looking and reading the complaints, but no one seem to be able to stop this company from ripping off anyone.

This company has been deducting 16.95 a month for 6 months from my account as well as that of my boyfriend. We share the same e-mail address. I never authorized yhese withdrawals. When I called, they cancelled the account and sent me a form to complete regarding my reimbursement. What is going on? I will never put my credit card or debit card information in the computer again. Beware - they camouflage the charges by using different names on the debit or simply reads as ACH Withdrawal!

I was looking at my bank statement and saw 16.95 charged to me and I had never heard of wc value plus v ? Called my bank and they said there had been charges over the last few months. Bank North said they are looking into it and to change my account numbers right away. Thanks Elizabeth at Bank North, she made me feel alot better. I was going to start cancelling all my credit cards.

I just called the [protected] to cancel the Pro-Value Plus monthly charge (16.95) on my Discover Card. I will be vigillant about checking my credit card statements from now on (and to make sure the current charges are refunded). I don't remember signing up for this charge. I am glad I found the programsstop website and read other comments. Thank you.

You people are really starting to irritate me. You took money off my account last month 05/02/2008. I called you about it and you agreed to return it and stop future debits. You never did and today 06/01/2008, you just deducted another $19.95. I immediately called your 800 number only to receive a recording that you are closed. I am nicely asking you to stop deducting money from my account and return the last two transactions immediately. I am going to make a complaint to the credit affairs consumer dept because obviously, I am not the only one that you mess with.

I called the 800 number to cancel and was told I would still be charged the processing fees. I told her I read nothing that said I would be charged "processing fees" at the time of initial signup. I don't even recall giving them my credit card number. I don't know how they got that. But, I told the operator I better not be charged anything. She said she would send me a confirmation number of cancelation and no money would be charged. I will wait and see. I also sent an email to the "ProgramStop.com" for immediated cancellation a week earlier and the opeator told me nothing had been recieved for a cancellation. So, don't count on an email to do anything for you. Again, I still don't think I gave them a credit card number. That really puzzels me.

I have a charge to my account and when I went to cancel the membership as it states at this No.# [protected], it told me to go to this site to do this. I don't know if it is a Dvd membership or what. Can you look into this for me. I got trapped as I was looking for jobs on net and they make you sign up for all this stuff first before qualifying for certain levels. Don't do it. Now I have all these ccharges coming out of my account like that WuYi tea company keeps charging me and now my bank account is in the neg. because they took money out without my approval when I already canceled. So, you get screwed by these companies and it's hard to get it fixed.

Got a letter in the mail saying that Value Plus is going to take $19.95 a month from my checking account. After I supposely had a free 30 day trial. Today is 4-7-08. And guess what the 30 days is 4-4-08. This charge was never approved or agreed with me. If I did not receive the letter I would have known about this stupid company trying to take money from me as they please for no reason. This is a fraudulent charge from my account. I would like for this to be solved soon as possilbe!

Hi,All you guys are idiots this is a complaint site made by that company or someone,this sight will not help you get a refund,all you have to do to get a refund is call that company that is charging you,heres the number for the WC Value Plus it's [protected] then complain to them,then you'll get your money in 4-6 weeks they say at first and then it comes back in 2 days to your account,I can't believe how many idiots there is in this country,this is my first time and I already got my money back in 2 days,and you idiots have been going crazy because no one is calling you back,and your money is gone,well to find out other ways to stop getting ripped off write to me at www.businesswebdesigner@comcast.net Once I got my money back and then I went back to this page I felt sorry for these really naive honest people, they tryed it over the phone on me also but they end up loosing,basically when you call this place someone got you signed up for some membership and thats why you are being charged,they work closely together with All Access I bet they have the illuminati sign which is the pyramid,which also tells you that they were probably in on it,call them back and demand your money back and stop letting people take your hard earned cash people,and especially in real estate pay your taxes so that I won't end up with them...Peace Out

I to have seen this charge on my credit card. I do not know what this WC VALUE PLUS-V is nor have I even ordered it. Take this off of my credit card and return back the 4 $16.95 charges on my card. This is an out right scam. Who ever you are should be put in jail.

This is the second letter I have written to this site concerning this matter. I contacted my bank ( Bank of America) and they say they can only reimburse me as far back as 60 days. I cancelled my card and ordered a new one and then recieved a letter from B of A stating they had reimbursed me for $20.95 and thus closing this dispute ! This Wc Value company has been taking $19.95 out of my account for months. If the bank can only go back 60 days, to my calculations that comes to $39.90. Also, how can they close this matter, seems like fraud, idenity theft, maybe even wire fraud and god knows what else. I am about ready to switch banks and never order anything over the internet or the phone again. Or maybe the salusion is to start putting my money in a coffee can and burying it in the back yard or under my mattress! Totally frustrated and thanks for letting me let off a lot of steam. E.L.C.
