Turns out these calls are a classic subscription‑scam that slips small recurring fees onto unsuspecting cards. Victims repeatedly see $16‑$30 charges labeled “Value Plus” or similar, often without ever speaking to a representative. The best defense is to block the number, contact your bank to dispute the transaction, and request a new card number. Keep a written record of all charges and any correspondence, and consider placing a fraud alert on your credit files. If the merchant refuses to refund, file a complaint with the FTC and your state consumer protection agency. Stay vigilant and protect your personal info.
Similarly, I have been a victim of their scams, as they have been deducting money from me for three months without disclosing any information when I contact them; I have become assertive, demanding a refund and informing them of their fraudulent activities, which I have reported to my lawyer.
I think this number is associed with Budget Savers, i didnt call them, i just call my credit card company to flag them
Experianced similar issues, my bank eventualy resolved the problem.
On friday night at 9:15 p.m i got a phone call, the caller assured me that
A late evening call from this number resulted in a confusing conversation, with the speaker talking rapidly and making unclear demands, prompting me to take steps to protect my financial information.
According to Bank of America they piggy-back into our credit card from a prior purchase we made. I bought something online 2/16. On 3/16 is when my first $16.95 charge appeared. BOA says that the original vendor may have something in fine print that is signing us up for a 30 day free trial and after that this coupon club/membership services group will charge our account that was original used for a legit purchase unless we call and cancel. The only problem is that nobody knows they was signed up for this so called benefit. Bank of America was able to get 5 months of charges reversed with no problem. I have also read on various sites that this company is not very honest about refunding if you chose to cancel. Be careful about changing credit card numbers. I was told by BOA that this is considered a "preauthorized charge" so that means it can and will follow to a new account if the original one is closed
Following an unauthorized $19.95 charge to my account and a resulting $50 overdraft fee, I contacted the number and spoke to a representative who, despite being polite, provided unsatisfactory explanations and struggled to locate my account information.
Last night i recived a call on my answering machine from a diferent number, after some researh i found out that it was related to a debit purchse charge of 19.95
I dont recall ever signing up with this company, however when i checked my bank statement, i noticed they was charging me $16.95 every month, i never spoke to them or went on they're website, but they still took money from my account, i hope they get's caught
It's likely that your financial institution is leaking personal info, so I looked up the company and its affiliates, finding my bank listed on their homepage as a valued partner.
I never recieved a call from this company, but i noticed a charge of 16.95 on my bank statement, i am reporting it as a fraud case
These peoples are taking my money without my permision, its alot of money!!!!
Unauthorized deductions have been made from my account.
Following a call from them, they deducted 1.00 from my accout and now claim a packet is on the way, but the phone number is always busy.
A charge of $1.00 was unexpectedly billed, suggesting that further charges may follow; a mail cancellation option was mentioned but not received.
Upon requesting address verification, the caller revealed a pricey monthly subscription plan, prompting an immediate hang-up. Apparently, my information was obtained from a recent online or radio order, though the specifics remain unclear. This experience serves as a reminder to be cautious in the modern era.
A mysterious charge has appeared on the statement
I have experienced a similar issue with magazine subscriptions in the past, and upon contacting my bank, I was advised that even if I canceled my card, I might still be charged, leaving me unsure of how to prevent further unauthorized transactions.
Although I never received a call, I found a charge on my statement and discovered a membership under my girlfriend's name when I called the number. It's puzzling how they obtained my information and associated it with her name.
Apparently, they withdrew $400 from my acount
An unauthorized deduction of $16.95 was noticed, and when the number was called, the representative asked for personal information, claiming to offer entertainment discounts, but after being informed that no services had been ordered, they apologized and promised a refund.
I have been charged twice, $19.95 and $49.95, for somthing i have no knowlege of, which is completey fradulant and i demand my money back.
After being charged $16.95, a website was found that explained the charge, and the credit card company is now involved in resolving the issue and retrieving the stolen credit card information.
Greetings to everyone,
Upon finally answering one of their numerous calls, I was met with a claim that their system indicated I had made a recent purchase from them. The only online purchase I had made was the as-seen-on-tv aqua globes for my mother-in-law, leading me to suspect a potential connection. I am outraged and plan to contact the company that sent me a health discount card to cancel my membership, as I recently received notification of a $9.95 charge with monthly deductions of $49.95 to follow.
A transation from CHK AMA*HEALTH OPTIONS 866-915-1190, TX was initated, beleived to be a pos pur
