Savings Direct Club Unauthorized charge to my credit card

This person called to get me to join and I politely refused several times, but he continued to presure and I continued to refuse. Two months later I received my credit card statement, and there were charges for the membership to this Savings Direct Club. When I tried to call the number listed for this Club, I get a recording that the number is not a working number. How do you stop these people from doing these charges to our credit cards? And how do I get the charges taken off? I will not be so polite the next time someone like this calls. Please help me get these charges off my credit card! Thanks!

Savings Direct Club Unauthorized credit card info shared!

Caller-ID blocked call from "Becky" at Savings Direct Club. Said she was congratulating me on my excellent credit and then gave me the last four digits of my credit card number. I objected to her having that info and asked her to identify where her last name (she wouldn't give it), and where / from whom she received my credit card info. She said because of "privacy concerns" she could not give that info out. I told her that I was the holder of the card and that I, therefore, was entitled to have the info I asked for! I asked for her telephone number and address. She wouldn't give it. I asked her for her manager. She asked "Mike" to get on the phone, and I heard him yell at her in the background. When he got on the phone, I calmly asked him to provide me with his company's tel. # and address. He promptly hung up on me. Something should be done about this outfit.

Savings Direct Club Aggressive & offensive telemarketers!

Cory Smyth called me and when I politely declined to listen to his sales pitch, he continued to insist that I listen to his pitch and consider his product. I clarified that i was not only NOT interested, but strenuously objected to any company telemarketing to me, and particularly to a company selling my credit card last 4 digits to his company.

He continued to argue with me even after I told him that I had no interest in having a conversation with him about the legitimacy of telemarketing.

I asked for his managers name and number. He told me that his managers name was John Witherspoon and that there was no number at the call center that I could call into. I asked to be transferred to his manager and he hung up on me.

Ron Allen of Ron Allen Enterprises, 350 E St, Santa Rosa, CA 95402 is behind this scam. Ron Allen Enterprises owns Synergy Credit Services (maybe how they get the CC numbers?) Synergy Teleservices (maybe the people who are calling?), Discount Savings Club (www.discountshopperssavingsclub.com), Direct Discount Club (www.directdiscountclub.com), and Leisure Time Savings (leisure-time-savings.com). I would suggest you call his personal business number to complain. [protected] It is automated, just wait for the prompt then enter the first three letters of his last name and you will be connected to his personal line. Hope this helps.

THIS IS HOW YOU CANCEL Savings Direct Club:

Customer Service: [protected] Menu option 5 for cancelation.

Tell them all the charges you have and If they say they can't refund you, tell them you will take this up with your credit card/bank and file for a fraudulent charge dispute, then proceed to ask for a supervisor if issue is not resolved. You gotta fight dirty to get your money back.

This company made fraudulent charges on my mother’s checking account. Reversed after much fighting and five seperate phone calls. Too bad my mom's bank has already canceld the card they were charging. I guess they will have to take it up with the bank now.
