Many people report seeing a $16.95 charge tied to a mysterious Value Plus membership they never signed up for. The pattern usually involves a polite‑sounding representative who offers to cancel a non‑existent subscription, while the charge already appears on bank or credit‑card statements. To protect yourself, immediately dispute the transaction with your bank, request a written confirmation of cancellation, and block the number on your phone. Keep copies of any emails or forms you send, and consider filing a report with the Better Business Bureau or FTC. Staying vigilant and acting quickly can stop further unauthorized charges and limit fraud risk.
I did a online order for Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse, and then i got a call from a number, i tryed calling back but it hung up.
The previous comment is absolutely right.
I experienced the same issue, resulting in a $24.95 charge on my credit card
Value Plus WC, a seemingly ghost company, has been involved in unauthorized transactions from my bank account. This incident appears to be a criminal act, potentially warranting an FBI report.
I discovered a charge on my bank account for a service I did not authorize, and after contacting the number, I was directed to a website where I submitted a request to be removed from their list and have the charge credited back to my account
I'm seeking answers about a problem, and i wonder if you have solved your issue with this company
I didnt recieve a call from this number, but i was offered a service and now i need to cancel it, but the website dont work, thats really frustrating
Following a call to this number regarding a mysterious charge, they claimed I must have authorized it during a purchase, but after requesting cancellation and a refund, I am yet to receive it, leading me to cancel my card
After some research, I found a website that provided helpful information on how to contact the company associated with this number
Upon reviewing my bank statement, I discovered a $16.95 charge from the individuals in question, despite not filling out any cancellation form. I'd appreciate any information on how others have dealt with this situation.
Apparently, this company's concept of a 30-day trial is somewhat flexible, as I discovered when I received a letter stating my trial period would end in just 14 days. Following a call about magazine subscriptions and college courses, I was promised a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart, which never materialized. The company's tactics are dubious, to say the least. When attempting to cancel, I encountered a recording that directed me to a website, and another number provided by the first representative turned out to be an international call. Needless to say, I advise against engaging with these individuals.
For more information, contacting the local Better Business Bureau may be helpful, as they informed me that this number is associated with an advertising company in Charleston, SC.
Similar experiences have been reported, with unauthorized charges appearing in checking accounts, and it is recommended to contact the bank and cancel any affected cards to prevent further scam activity
A mysterious transaction of $16.95 appeared on my bank statement, originating from the phone number 888-833-7279, despite not receiving any calls from this number. Upon calling the number, a woman answered without disclosing her name or company, claiming she would cancel a membership I never authorized. I informed her this was a case of fraud and reported it to my bank, which is refunding the fee. I have also cancelled my debit card and am awaiting a new one with a different account number. I advise others who have fallen victim to this scam to take similar action and report it to their local Better Business Bureau.
Although the message was similar, there were some differences.
This number was discovered on my bill, and it appears to be related to a $25 gift card from online shopping, which is upsetting

A debit card charge of $16.95 prompted me to contact my bank, which provided the number 888-833-7279; upon calling, I was informed it was for membership services, despite my never having authorized or signed up for such a membership with Value Plus.
