Value Plus unauthorized charges

I don't know HOW they got my Master-Card number, but they charged me $24.95 in October. or November. This charge showed the telephone number given above. I called that number on Nov. 30, and talked to Ashley and asked her to CANCEL my "subscriber # [protected]. She said she cancels it.
However, in my December statement, there are TWO charges on Nov. 15 for 1.95 and 1.95 respectively for Value Plus and FunSource and TWO credit items: - 1.95, and -1.95, respectively on Dec. 1.
This means that Ashley only canceled the TWO charges — monthly perhaps? — in November, but I have NOT been reimbursed for the $24.95 charged earlier.

If they con a million people, they would have received $24.95 million so far. This is a scheme that should be labelled FRAUD or CREDIT CARD THEFT.

I just discovered that charge on my debit card today (8-3-16) for the amount of $19.95. The listing is slightly different, "Semi * value plus". Its a good thing I check my bank acc online very often, anyway I called my bank immediately and put a freeze on it. The bank said its a possible scam. The sad thing is i'll have to get a new debit card with a new acc number and fill out a form.

Had a unauthorized transaction with Sem Value Plus on 7/2/2016 for $24.95. I do not know how this acured.
Also happened two years ago. same company, same amount. Interesting fact, both incidents happened just after having an online
purchase transaction with Penndot E-ZPass . Coincidence or not?

I also found a charge on my bank account from this company. They told me it was because I had ordered something off of TV and was enrolled into a membership even though I was never told I would be. I happened to order something from THE WISE FOOD COMPANY. I did receive my money back but am not able to get a straight answer from The wise food company as to why this was done.

I just had the same problem, however when i called the number provided I was immediately answered and spoke to a very nice associate who explained why this happens. You have to read the disclaimers whenever you buy sometime on line, sometimes you are agreeing to be enrolled in this program by proceeding with some online purchases. They do understand and will willingly refund your purchases. They said my refund should be within 3 days. I will let you know if i receive it but so far very satisfied

Charge caused an overdraft to my account. If this had not happened I would not have noticed. Called the 800 number and was met with the same nice individual who said that the charge would be removed. I asked how this was authorized, and was told that it was added when I ordered something online. I saw that the charges started in Dec. so I will scrutinize my orders and figure out which one and complain to them. THINK ABOUT THIS- this guy, starts a consumer service, that does anything, like sends you a coupon < when requested. As long as you do something it is not fraud. He may be just 1 guy working at an answering service that takes orders. He puts the order for SEM without asking. if he did that to 1000 people a month. How many would catch it? The ones that do, They simply take off the charge and no one really reports it. Think if he recruited 2 more guys and they did 3000 orders a month. Do the math. I'm in the wrong business.

Value Plus Questionable monthly charges

I am being charged $1.95 / month by this company and another $1.95 by Pro FunSource Monthly for services I have no idea about. I suspect it's related to a "free" subscription for Hydrolyze cream. While ordering the free trial for this under-eye cream the recorded message bombarded me with offers for about six other products I had no interest in and one that came with a "free" $80 gift card for either Targets or Walgreens. I believe I said yes to that offer but it had nothing to do with the products offered by these companies - bicycle lights, is just one example I can remember from their website. THIS IS A SCAM to separate us from our money a little at time like my two $1.95 charges that they probably hoped would go unnoticed for many more months - or $19.95 a month like I see on some other complaints. The company should be put out of business asap because their only "service" is to make people cynical about ordering products over the phone. I might have considered keeping the Hydrolize subscription if it did, indeed, work to remove the bags under my eyes, but now I consider them part and parcel of one big scam and I am cancelling that order today. STAY AWAY FROM PRO VALUE, PRO FUN, AND HYDROLIZE - IT'S NOTHING BUT A SCAM!

I just found the same thing but rather than nickle and dime us, they hit us with a whopping 149.99 charge in December 2010 on a card that was not activated until February 2011. These folks are SHADY! I called Chase they seem to have handled it. They are removing it from the account, closing the account and re-issuing a card. This account is my parents credit card. They are elderly, in fact my mother 84 just passed away last month. She would have definitely paid the amount. EVIL just nasty what people are doing.

Value Plus Unauthorized billing

A charge by this person or organization (which I have never heard of or seen) was made to my Master Card twice this month without my knowledge. I cannot find any information on what this company is or what I owe them for and would appreciate having my name and e-mail, etc. removed from their records immediately.
I do not purchase from unknown companies on line!

Please inform me who this or what this is and how I can remove my name and e-mail from their records.

I show on my credit card that I was charged for services/products that were not ordered by me. The charge appears on my credit card on Christmas day. No one has been authorized to have this company charge my credit card. Please remove this charge from my credit card by either reversing this charge or refunding the amount charged on this card

Value Plus Charges I did not authorize against my credit card

In July I thought the charge was something my husband did and wanted to pay my credit card before any late fees or penalties. In August I had an identical charge and my husband had no idea what the charge is for either. When I Goggled I it found others had reported as a scam and it lead me to your link.
When I called the phone number on my credit card bill [protected]) the message was "Membership Service". I cannot make lengthily phone calls from work, so tried to call on a weekend. Hours are weekdays and they gave me a website www.programstop.com, which did not work. I finally reached them by phone and told them to cancel and issue a total refund. Katy was vague about what the charge was for and said paperwork would be mailed in a plain envelope from Minnesota to request a refund. I also has to ask her for a confirmation number ([protected]).
Unfortunately before I could reach them another charge was issued against my credit card. I have disputed the 3rd charge and will contact my credit card company about the 2nd and not accepting father charges. Hopefully I will not be out of pocket more than the 1st charge.
Thank you for your assistance in stopping these scams. Jodie Ball 9/13/10

Value Plus unauthorized charges to debit

Charged 24.95 twice this month and 1.95. I don't know who these companies are or what they do. I just do not wwant them doing it to me. I found the funsource website and sent them a message to stop charging me immediately. Will try to do the same for value plus, even though some of your complaints say they are the same. Can anyone tell me what the next step is? This is my first time on this site and I'm not sure how to use it.

Value Plus 50$ gift card scam

There is no website as indicated on my trial membership letter. The specfic website given: www.valueplusonline.com/open/form/50 does not exsist. I was suppose to recieve my 50$ gift card to walmart from their. This is the only reason I took the trial offer. My trial period is over in 16 days on 8/18/210. So I will cancel my membership as of right now. Hopefully they do not "accidently look over my cancelation" and illegally charge me for this "coupon" service. I should've just said no when i was ordering over the phone. It should be illegal to bribe people with false claims.

Value Plus Unable to get gift cards as promised

This all started with Kevin Trudeau's book. They sign you up for all of this free stuff and promise you savings and all you get are solicitation calls. His method is not saving you money or getting you out of debt...it is simply a scam to get you into debt. I cannot seem to get any of the "gifts" that were promised. A lot of running around. I will chalk it up as a loss and never fall for these tactics again. There seems to be no legit value plus web site and there is no way to contact elizabeth collins. a lesson needs to be learned here and we can start by not partaking in anything these two people are involved in.

Value Plus unauthorized credit card charges

Unauthorized charges to my credit card for coupons/discount service that I never joined nor did I ever received any discount information via mail or email. They have been charging my card $19.95 for at least 10 months. (I know..should have looked but my husband was paying the bills and assumed I signed up for something with and automatic charge.) I called and asked who WC Value Plus was and what product they sold. They stated it was a service that provided me with discounts on various items and services. I told them I did not authorize such a membership or charge and to cancel. I also asked for my money back. They said a form would be mailed in 7 to 10 days. He also gave me a confirmation number.

Is this a scam? It's false advertisement to get people to sign up and
convience people to sign up and you will receive a $50.oo free
gift card from Walmart.

Where do we go from here, please advise this is not right.

after u get the value plus stuff in the trial period..the walmart gift card info is in there..then you call and get the walmart gift card obviously giving you 3 free magazines of your choice...and then are asked to pay a fee after a trial period with the magazines... sooo if your smart ..you cancel valueplus as soon as u get the papers in the mail with the number for the walmart gift card, and call for it... then after you get the walmart card in the mail with the magazines you cancel the magazine trial... sooo u get a free walmart gift card and 3 free magazines.. and even tho it seems like a hastle.. u could use the trial membership with saversplus..coz the savings are pretty cool...but just ALWAYS CANCEL BEFORE THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD IS DONE!

People, Get real! Nothing in this world is FREE. This is a very shady business that some companies do. They get you to sign up for a program that promisses a $XX.XX giftcard so they can have access to your credi/debit card account. Once you give out this information to them, THEY GOT YOU!

I hate to say this, Yes, you were scamed. Usually with these programs they send out so called vouchers. These vouchers contain paperwork that you need to fill out and return. Sounds simple doesn't it ? Ofcourse it does. Here's where the problem is, the voucher in most cases wont arrive untill 2-3 weeks from the date you sign up. Thats 2-3 weeks of waiting time. and when you do receive it, returning the paper work to get the claim from will take another 1-2 weeks. Thats 5 weeks or over a month of waiting time.

By this time, your 30day trial is up and you get hit with whatever the monthly charge is for this program. So, if you are thinking, "I can just cancel my subscription and still receive that gift card" Not a chance. These are very very cleaverly designed deceptive yet legal programs designed to access you bank or credit accounts.

Hope this helps

Value Plus $50 Gift Card

I was promised a 50 gift card from Wal Marts to checkout the services . I called the valueplusonline they said I would receive a form in the mail, when I received the form, I filled it out and sent it back. This happened in December, so I called them back after a couple months I called them back asking about my gift card ! They told me they hadn't received a selecti0n form back, I informed them I sent back the form they sent me, I was informed they had sent a selection form out on Dec. 31, 2009. I proceeded to tell them I had never received such a form, and could they please send me another one, they refused stating they're system wouldn't let them issue another . I was told to go to my library and go to their site and print a selection form . That would be fine, except there is no such site to get the forms . In my opinion Value Plus Online is a scam, people should be warned this site is a ripoff!

Don’t believe them when they say they will give you a free gift card. They don’t. Called them up and gave me the run around, their product must really suck to have this bad of customer service and will tell anyone and everyone about how bad it is.

Value Plus Recurring Illegal Use of Debit Card

I made a purchase of a product on-line July, 2008 and Wc Value Plus/Wc Essentials aka MEMBERSHIP SERVICES obtained my debit card number. They proceeded to debit my account for $16.95 two times each month from August 2008 until February 2010. When asked how they received my information, they said that I joined an "on-line discount" service, but would not provide the name of the company from which the alleged original agreement began. They can provide no record of this agreement and no proof that I was ever notified. I want to warn everyone of this company and its affiliates.

Value Plus no website to get $25 gift card

Like the others who have complained, I signed up for a 30-day-trial with a promised reward of a $25 gift card. When I just tried to go to their website to claim mine, I found only a long list of complaint sites about this company. I had also signed up for a similar trial for another product called Fun Source owned by them, which gave the following website to claim their $25 gift card: www.myfunsource.com/open/form/gc and I was able to access that website and download the form to send for the gift card, but whether or not they will actually send one is the question. I will try to cancel both services and hope that they don't charge me.

My subscriber numbers are: #[protected] for Value Plus and
#[protected] for Fun Source.

Do you do anything to help the complaintants or is this just a place to alert other potential subscribers?

I was missing money from my account. How they got my info is what i am most upset about. I went to my bank, they could not tell me what i purchased and neither could membership services. When you call the co they try to sound helpful. Two days later i get a letter that says either myself or someone authorized to access my account made the "purchase and there will be no refund. They still could not tell me what the purchase was. They have now sent me another letter asking for info so they can send me a refund. It amazes me that this co. Could get in my account take money and i was none the wiser, it is hard for me to access my own account online. This nightmare began back in march, it is now september and they still have my money. I will add more to this when i hear back.In the meantime i am printing this scam out on paper to be displayed at my bank!

I received a letter from Value Plus stating, "as promised, we're giving you$40 in Cash-Back Gas Rebates just for signing up for Value Plus (sm). Log onto www.valueplusonline.com/open/form/40 now to claim yours!" After going to this website, it comes up as an error message or asks the question, are you sure you meant.

Basically, the website doesn't exist. Is this a scam or what. If so, then I should be entitled to the initial premium that they billed my credit for. Please advise smb!

I looked at my banking statement and found a $14.95 withdrawal by Value Plus, a withdrawal which I never authorized. Seeing Damark.com in one of your online complaints, I Googled that
company, found their phone number and called membership services. They agreed to cancel me
and refund that payment within three to five business days. We'll see.

I ordered Jack Lalanne's juicer and was offered a 30 day free trial and free $50 walmart gift card for trying it for free. This web site does not exist to claim gift card. I am like many on here--this is FRAUD! I want my gift card!

After purchasing a item from a catalog store I was promiced a $50.00 gift card from Walmart, so I went on line after I got the letter from value Plus and was not able to retrieve the form necessary, so I called the 800 number and was told that I should be able to print the form on line but was told he would send me one through the mail... Guess what NOTHING ever came from them, so I called and cancelled in the 30 day period required and told them I thought it was just one big scam. How and who can we contact to report and stop these companies from scamming people? Thanks DLA from Indiana

I received a phone call from a lady promoting online savings through local stores. If I signed up for their membership, I would receive a $100 gift card from Target or Wal-Mart. They charged my credit card within the next two days; however, I didn't receive the information packet until 3 weeks later. Of course, there was no gift card, but I had to submit my own receipts to them to receive a $25 gift card. The website to submit information to receive these gift cards never worked for me. Then once you submitted the information it was going to take them 28 days to respond. Your membership fee increases after 30 days, therefore, if you cancel your membership in the meantime you wouldn't receive the gift card. This company already had my full credit card number when they called. The operator also started fast talking and trying to charge other things to my account which I stopped. I feel for the sounds too good to be true scam. I just wanted to warn others out there not to fall for it also.

I have been scammed by this company for several months. They have been withdrawing funds from my account twice a month. Unfortunately, I did not pay close attention, and did not realize this was occurring until they had racked up a considerable sum in overdraft charges. Fortunately I bank with US bank who immediately cancelled my card and launched a fraud investigation. The outcome is not yet known, as this was just discovered recently, but they no longer have access to my account, and I will pursue this to the end!

I purchased an item from another company and they asked me all these questions and telling me to try for 30 days free trial I would receive a $50 gift card...

I never received anything in the mail from this company to be able to cancel with in the time...

I check my account weekly and the charge was submitted on 11-19-11 and they took out the charge from my account on 11-21-11.

Please find out what kind of game these people are runing and taking advantage of people not checking their account.

Thanks,

My Mom is 88 years old. She is in assisted living, on a walker, and very hard of hearing. I handle her finances but she writes her phone bill and discovery card bill which is used for her medicine purchases. Yesterday I discovered a charge on her Discovery bill for $16.95 that she did not what it was. After checking, I discovered she has been paying this for the last 11 months.

It is listed as WC*Value Plus [protected]. I called them and they tell me it is a discount coupon book for dining out. What a rip off. First my Mom has no car, is not mobile, and very seldom eats out. She has received no coupons or a card to us for this service.

Value plus says they will not charge her again and will send me papers to get a refund. I will be a thorn in their side until this is resolved. THIS IS A RIP OFF - A PURE SCAM!
