Tuesday, October 11, 2005 Check Your Credit Card Statements! FRAUD ALERT! Wanna know what I am doing? I am eating comfort food. Yes. A big bowl of green chili stew wif tortillas. I got my bank statement today to find that since joining Classmates in May, two of their sub companies have been taking $10.00 each out of my account every month since May.This was taken through my credit card number given to purchase a year subscription to Classmates. It had an option to click for free travel and hotel reservation benes, and I did thinking they owed it to me for the price of the subscription. After processing my credit card number with Classmates, I clicked on both links for the two companies to see what it was about and couldn't get through to either of them. I tried this a few times and forgot about it thinking "hell I don't go places anyway"... Forgot about it until today,$120.00 later. Those mother fuckers. I was finally able to access both of the websites today and sent them an email stating that I expect my money back in full or further legal action would be taken. I will keep you posted! Oh and no, I didn't notice these on my previous statements, I rarely use my credit card since I am poor these days! An update on what I have found... Classmates is not the only company affiliated with these shitheads, there are others. Here are some of their clients; priceline.com, americangreetings.com, 1-800 flowers, Buy.com, Expedia.com, there are many more! If you did business with any of those check your credit statements!!!!! From what I have read, some of these companies have been contacted and haven't done anything about the affiliation. The name of the businesses that stole money from me are: Reservation Rewards and Travel Values Plus. They are under the same company! I just sent an email to the attorney general of Connecticut as this is where the company is based... Will update soon. He emailed me back today!!!! Dear Ms. Brock: Thank you for your e-mail. I have forwarded your letter to my Consumer Protection Department attorneys for review. A member of my staff will contact you. Sincerely, Richard Blumenthal ATTORNEY GENERAL |
