Value Plus review: Credit fraud 139

I discovered that for at least the past six months this company has been charging $19.95 to my credit card. I have never heard of them before and did not authorize such charges. This is just FRAUD.

WC Value Plus is charging $ 14.95 for a purchase I never made and the phone number that I have which is [protected] can not be reached at. Thank you.

I recently noticed on my credit card statement a charge which I was unaware of. It was for 16.95 to WC Value Plus out of Hopkins, Mn. I hadn't ordered anything that I was aware of from this company and called the number to speak with a CSP. This individual was barely helpful. I asked how they got my information and why I was being charged for something I didn't order. He didn't have an answer for me. I told him to stop the charges immediately and to refund the previous charges back to my account.

I just check my bank account and saw that WC value plus charged $19.95 to my credit card. I called [protected], spoke to a customer service rep. She couldn't explain what they offer etc. And all i was able to do was cancel my "so called account", they say i applied or created. Someone must do something about this company scamming people.

Thank you.

To Whom it may concern,

Told me to log on here to claim it and sent me to this site so what kind of business is this company trying to run... No wounder people dont want to do business on line. I hope some one will make them pay for what they have said and done. Thank You

I just got my bank statement and found a charge on it for $19. 95. I call the 800 number and told them to stop the withdrawles and credit the money back into my account. They informed me that 3 - 5 days it would be back into my account. The number is [protected]. Wish all good luck!

unaotherized charges to bank account and possibility of selling of personal an private information.

I have been charged $16.95 for 13 months, Has any one ever received any kind of forms/information ? I was just told by one of the phone rep. Said they will send me some forms for rembursemt, after they get the forms back from me, they would notife the bank .
In the process it will take just a little over 30 days! This is a scam.
[protected] is the # I was given a confirmation number for my complaint.

I supposedly signed up for this discount and these people have been charging me. The BBB wouldn't help because, I don't have a physical address. The problem here is this needs media attention. This is ruining peoples lives. Bad credit and overdrawn back accounts are not good in todays economy.

I just received a call from my bank that $16.95 was charged to my account. I did't buy anything from them. They had to cancel my debit card so this would stop. This should not happen. Why isn't this place shut down?

WC value plus is an evil scam. Without any warning they suddenly started charging 19.99 to my elderly, seriously ill parents' credit card. They have never even heard of this company much less authorized any payments to them. Their medication and doctor's bills are astromomical. They don't need someone stealing from them. As far as I am concerned hell isn't hot enough for these evil monsters.

I never heard of this company but now I can see on the internet that a number of others are experiencing the same fraud charges. How do I see about getting the charge reversed? Do I have to cancel my VISA account? This is infuriating to say the least!

I noticed a charge on my visa bill from a company I had no knowledge out. I called the number listed on my statement. They had my email address that they said I used to join their discount club. But I had NEVER contacted this company for anything. They said they would send me a notice that they have taken the charge off my credit card. I am waiting to see. But how they got my credit card number, I have no idea.

My boss is blugarian and i usually handle problems in the office that require a phone call some how this company got her information and is charging 19.95 a mounth for nothing. ive called everyone from the bank to the credit company, one thing that kills me is that without a singature or contract of any kind the bank allows a company to take money out mounthly, when to set up automatic payments for any of my regular expences i have to jump through hoops.. if they had a product that they sent us we would be able to send it back and cancell this so called account, but we don't know what they do ecept charge people 19.95 i think credit card companies should hold some responsibility for letting company take out monthy payment w/o some contact with the card holder.

I have turned their info over to the fraud unit for my credit card. They will take care of it!

Yeah, it's a racket - Basically, they make it so difficult to collect the gas rebates they offer you that they probably come out ahead by getting to charge people for at least a month or two of membership fees, and most of those people probably aren't willing to put forth the effort required to collect the rebates.

The only way to stop something like that is cancel your crdit card or get a new one or change accounts whilte you try to get money back.
i was having unauthrotized stuff taken out of my account also by debit card so cancelled the card and that took care of that. i am in process of getting my money back but may take awile. i am retired and on limited funds cannot afford unauthroized charges.

este numero esta relacionado con "WC Value Plus" que malicisamente adquirieron mi informacion del "Healt Master, Living Well MonteL' cuando ordene algo que se anuncio en la TV. tube que cancelar mi numero de cuenta y ordene una nueva, es la mejor forma de asegurarme de que no van a seguir tomando dinero de mi cuenta.
Healt Master, Living Well MonteL=WC Value Plu =[protected]=Stonebridge Services = RATEROS
Cuando llame al Healt M. me dieron este numero para que llamara, y en mi cuenta de banco aparecia como WC Value Plus. Mi banco me va a ayudar con este problemaReply !

I just noticed it too just now on my debit checking account that I was charged by value plus for two months without me authorizing the transaction. I guess this happened when I use my debit card for online purchase I already called my bank and applied for a new ATM card. I guess it would be better if you do the same. A lesson for me that using my debit card with online purchase is not safe.

I am currently experiencing the same from these people. they have been debiting an account for $19.95(2xs) since last October. I to called and got no where except they will send me a form to see if I am able to get a refund. I don't shop online and have no idea how they got my name and address with my mother's debit card number. We do have a joint account and has lost over $620. We do have a fraud claim with our bank. This is really bad that no one seems to be able to do anything. The company can't even tell you what services you approved but they can take your money. I was told it could have been coupon promotions, well I don't even use coupons from the Sunday papers so why pay $40 for them, go figure. I just want our money back and for others to be aware. Just a hassle to have to change accounts and cards and then wonder about getting regfunded.

I am agreed with any complain against any hurt to society and persons in particular.

I agreed with your complain, and aloso get together with you against this scam performed by criminal institutions supported and protected by bankers and other stealers. So I as another affected person will make cause with you.

I never ever did receive the promised two $25.00 gift cards and was wondering how I go about getting that. Does anyone have any suggestions? I canceled my membership right away when I found out it was a hoax, but I should still be receiving the two $25.00 gift cards.

they cant let you

the phone number I am able to reach them onis [protected].You talk to a different person everytime You call and if u ask for the last person you spoke with they say they can let you.They said they stoped my service that i never asked for but will not give the money back. they told me they confirmed that they had premission but when i ask them for the proof they have none.This is a websit that the gave to me www.programstop.com.but it doesnt take you very far.

the phone number i have is [protected]. i believe you transposed their phone number. i have not had a problem getting assistance from them. to get the free gift card you do have to go online to www.valueplusonline.com to print out the form or you can request it over the phone. good luck!

My advise to anyone is to not do any business with anyone connected with "WC Valve Plus. WC* Value Plus is aware of the legal loopholes in the law and plans to rip you off by taking your money through unauthorized credit card charges. Many of us get busy and don't watch charges on our credit cards that closely thinking that the activity may have been done by the spouse. In regards to the Nyssa of WC*Valve Plus, I wonder what gist cards and gas rebates she is in reference to. I never received anything for the money they stole from me. They are skirting the law. Beware of them and don't get ripped off like I hae done.

Dear J. Thomas, My husband and I also had a propblem with unauthorized withdrawals from our checking account from value plus. I also had no idea what we were paying for. I called Value Plus and cancelled the service, I requested the form for a refund, the form I received also stated I was not entitled to refund from enrollment. Here is my story, I figured out that all of this started when I ordered a TV product (Smooth Away) off the internet. I listed the date of each deduction, $16.96 for a five moth period, I also called an attorney, who explained, write in the letter I would send a copy in 30 days to the Attorney General of the State we live in that Value Plus will investagated for fraud, if all money was not deposted back into our checking account. I sent this letter Aug. 31, 2009, as of today Sept. 8th 2009, all money was deposted back into our checking account in the amount of $86.75. Good Luck J. Thomas, but my letter shook them up! It is worth a try, I sent the letter to Consumer Affairs, Attn: C/A, P.O. Box 658, Hopkins MN 55343
Sincerely KATSSC

We have also received them. What is this place?

Ive been charged for something I dont even know what it is! fraud is allthis is!

I called my bank and they gave me their number. It's [protected]. I called hem today and it said they're only open monday through friday but then they gave me a website. It's www.programstop.com. That's where you can stop your "membership". I wrote membership like that because I've never heard of them in my life. Most likely they're a parent company that if you purcahse something they give you an automatic membership without your knowledge. Also you can sign up for a form disputing their charge. I requested one but I'm still going to call them next week. Hope this helps.

why am i being charged for this I do not rember signing up ffor it

I too have been scammed and am pressing charges, along with my credit card company. This so called "Value Plus"
has charged my credit card on 3 different occasions in the amount of $16.95 each, all without my authorization.
I have NO IDEA who these people are or how they got my credit card number. If this has happened to you, report
it to your bank or card holder. They can close the acct. and issue you a new number, and put a stop to them charging
your credit card. Then, you can take legal actions with your credit card company to find out who these rip-off artists
are and put a stop to their unlawful transactions!

I just found out myself about these charges on my account. They had been coming out for five months at a charge of $24.95, but not just from one source but from two of them. One is this value plus and the other is funsource. I called the number and actually got somewhere hope this will help you as well. I was given a web site address so that I could print off my own refund request. ( I also kept the representative on the line until i made sure it was not a hoax.) Here is the web address www.programstop.com. you need to scroll down to the FAQ section pull it up, and down at the bottom next to the last question is the request to print form. I hope that this is helpfull to you.

Don't buy anything, including gift cards, without asking of it includes any type of "special" offer.
It's all a scam. Think how many people never catch the charges.

WC VALUE PLUS HAVE BEEN TAKING MY MONEY WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION

I am just aware today (12/19/08) that I have been put on the same charges for several months (from June 2008). Every month this "WC Value Plus" charges me $16.95. I am really not aware that I have been signing up for their service. This is definitely a fraud. I just called them, and they canceled my membership, which I never applied for. They promised me to send some form for refund. I am not sure whether I will my money back. I do hope so. But, I also reported this, as you suggested, to the Federal Trade Commission at [protected] and file a complaint with them. I would also recommend people who have been victims of this, would do the same. Lets fight together!

We've been having money taken out of our account for awhile, but don't remember ordering anything from them. I don't know how to stop it, without canceling our card.

Anyone have any other suggestions, we're all ears.

Thanks,

Bryan Penney

This company is a ripoff-and the other writers are correct the service reps are useless-and there is no supervisor-I am glad I canceled and I will 1 way or another get my 2 $50.00 gift certificates--an 8 to 10 week process-to have to a turn around --beware-- this company should be put out of business-
