A company named Value Max, which is supposedly some kind of savings service for all kinds of different services, has taken $19.95 out of my checking account. Which also caused me $35.00 in insufficient funds fees and a bank service charge of $10.00 - a total of $64.95. Has anybody heard of this company? I want my money back immediately! How do I go about getting my money back?
Another one bites the dust ... I used Intellius, didn't get much information, but still paid the $21.45 I agreed to. A week later I received a letter throught USPS "Welcome to ValueMax". I tossed it thinking it was a scam to get me to their site to buy something. Just now I checked my AmEx statement to find a $19.95 fee for a ValueMax subscription AND $19.95 for an Intellius subscription. Given that the Intellius report I wanted and agreed to pay for was really worthless, containing only bits of information, some of which were 10 years old, I think they are both scams too! The good thing about AmEx, they'll reverse the charges and they'll contact these idiots to stop the recurring subscription fees.
They put charges on my credit card and I didn't even know what the company was. I used web site Intelius also and then about a week later a charge for valuemax appeared as a charge on my credit card. I think both companies must be scam artists. Intelius for giving my credit card information and Valuemax for charging me for something I did not order. I had a stop put on my credit card and now I will be very leery of ordering anything online.
Wow! I did the people search thing 2, how do they get away with this? I'm still trying to figure out how I applied at least that's what the man told me on the phone, he had all my information. stuff like this is really scary. the only good thing is they refund your money back with no problem but that's if you catch them in time.
I just had the exact same problem. Things like this are a scam. Damn you, ValueMax!
I CONTACTED MY BANK AND REPORTED UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES..THEY ARE REVERSING THE CHARGE
After your 7-day FREE trial period, it's just $19.95 per month,
automatically charged/debited to the card on file with us. Remember, you can call us toll-free at [protected] within the first 7 days to cancel, and you will not be charged/debited.
Terms of service are a great thing!
The phone number for ValueMax is [protected]. I had the same problem. Apparently I had used a website called Intelius for a people search and they started charging my account 19.95 a month just like you. The will stop collecting with no problem if you give them a call. You'll have to give them your bank card number because I'm sure like me, you don't have an account number for them.
