800-475-1942

I got a phone call about the magazines. That it begain to take money from my account.
They give me this number....I fell like being cheated

I never received a phone call.  I have never heard of this company.  I noticed an unusual charge on my account and reported to the bank.  They gave me the phone number of the company that took the funds, and when I called the recording gave me the website.  My bank is looking into the matter and will press charges if needed.  Meanwhile they are refunding my money and closing the card this company used to defraud me of my funds.  I would like to know how they were able to get my personal information.  I looked at another site and other people have had the same situation with this company.  I hope these crooks get caught!!  The other site with information from people who were defrauded of funds is www.800notes.com

I received numerous calls on my cell phone. I only answered one. They were a telemarketer. I did not give them my bank card information. They did 3 bank withdrawals from my account. According to the internet this is a widespread scam.
The debit charges appeared as
WC*VALUE PLUS-V 800-475-1942
WC*HOMEPLAY-V 800-475-1942
AMA*HEALTH OPTIONS 866-915-1190

Description:  CHECKCARD 0130 WC *VALUE PLUS-V 800-475-1942 MN 24692168030000796692954

Hi, I was shocked to get this. I have already summitted to my bank about that.I didn't   know what it was and where it came from until I read some of other one's that have got  the same thing as I did. My bank hasn't replied back as of now yet about that problem.
I have never been contacted by the people who are responsible, by phone or internet.
SO for I got just that one for $16.95

My Regards

Cletus

Amount:  $16.95  

Type:  Check Card

I didn't receive calls either. I did receive charges on my credit card that I did not authorize. It was charged as WC *VALUE PLUS 800-475-1942 MN for $16.95. Don't know why they started charging my card. Contacted them - gave me memberstatus.com to check the status of my refund. still no sign of it though.

I didnt recieve a call.  I noticed a 16.95 charge on my debit card that said WC*Explore USA MBR.  At first I thought maybe it was an annual charge for a CC but then I got charged again.  I called the number and it to gave me a website.  I looked up the website and couldnt find it so I typed this number into google and found this page!!! Thats a nice shock.  I guess ill be calling my bank at 8a sharp!!!

I just got through noticing somecharges on my onlinebank account so i called the number and they say i signed on through some other product in the past. I know that that was not true becasue the account that i had was a secret chase account that i dont let out.  So i asked them to cancel me and give me a refund. No sign of the money yet.    HEALTH BENEFITS---866-915-1190   and HOMEPLAY-V ---800-475-1942

Found two charges a month apart on our credit card bill - each for $19.95, and each labelled PRO*VALUE PLUS MONTHLY 800-475-1942 MN.  Called the number, they said they had no info on our account, that they work for several companies, and asked us to fax our credit card statement to them so they could refund the money.  As if!!  I called the credit card company and reported this.  They are currently pursuing this issue.  Meanwhile, I've protected all of our personal info with our McAfee Security System, and am looking into identity protection.

I got an unauthorized charge from this HOMEPLAY for 16.95.  I called mybank right away and am disputing the charge.  I am also changing my credit card number as these people have some how gotten my info.  I kept getting some kind of weird calls but they hung up.

They have called me over and over and usually hang up and try to get me to call back

Ok, they got me too.  It showed up on my credit card as a $16.95 fee.
I did not call the 1800 number, I looked up in google and found this website.

I called my cc company and told them I would like to dispute this charge.  They said no problem, but that it would take a while for it to show up, and that it would keep comming back each month---no way to block it.  I had them kill the card to new charges.

From what everyone is saying, I guess there is little to no hope of ever getting this to stop, and even the cc company dose not seem to really care much.  The took it as a great oppourtunity to try to sell me on their "wallet protection plan.".

If it shows up again on my new cc issued number (I will have in a few days) then I will just pay off the card and close the account completely.

I just got off the phone with the company that you listed above and their representative seemed to be okay and cancelled my membership immediately. They're also giving me a full refund (in installments, meh) so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it all works out. I'm a student and really can't afford an extra $40 charge on my account. :(

MY PARENTS ARE IN THEIR LATE 70'S AND THESE PEOPLE ALL 3 COMPANYS GOT THEIR DEBIT CARD NUMBER AND CHARGED THEM 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR WC*VALUE PLUS-V 800-475-1942 $19.95  WC*HOMEPLAY-V 800-475-1942 $19.95  AMA*HEALTH OPTIONS 866-915-1190 $49.95. THESE PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANYONE AND SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR FRAUD. WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY OBTAINED THE INFORMATION FROM MOM & DAD'S DEBIT CARD. HOW HAVE THEY GOTTEN AWAY WITH THIS SO LONG

bum...I guess i am a victim too.  Being in the Internet security profession, I figured I am very careful with my info.  The only thing i can think of is our cc # has leaked from one of our purchase vendor.  There is no oter way.  I called my cc company and, same thing, they want me call the valueplus which i know i will get the same reply as everyone else.  If I don't get my $ back ($80), I will force my cc company to refund $ or I will cancel my 2 cc with them.  I charged about $10,000 a month... the cc stand to lose more from me.

I encourage everyone to do the same.  Cc company don't refund then you take your business elsewhere.  That's te only way they will listen.

The cc companies are forcing the merchants to be PCI (payment card industry) standard compliant which most of  merchants are either skirting the com pliancy or buying their way through it.... watch your wallet...

I just noticed on my banking website the Value Plus V 800-475-1942 MN and 16.99 was deducted from my account. I have not received any phone mumbers or anything. has had to been with someone i recently done business with internet.

We had these charges show up last year.  My husband called and "canceled" whatever membership this was.  I just looked over our bank statement and there they are again.  I was going to called them, but started to do research on them and found this website.  I've called my bank and they said that the charges were done on my husbands card and they would have to cancel it, and dispute the charges.  Who knows how long that will take.

Both Homeplay-v and Valueplus-v got $19.95 from my credit card, each.

I'm disputing it as we speak, but the credit card co. hasn't responded to my inquery, and we're coming up on a week ...with a new bill.

04/02/08 Visa Purchase(non-pin) Wc *value Plus-v800-475-1942mn $16.95

This is on my bank register.  I have tried for two-months in a row to cancel and get a refund.  I will call my bank tomorrow.  You just gotta hope that they'll get their payback for being so dishonest.

Same thing happened to me.  I am totally P-O'd!  I've never heard of these people.  I didn't order anything, and it's scary how they can get my card number and charge me.  Apparently they've been charging me since January.  (I didn't notice, I just had a baby so my mind is slowly catching up!)  I just called the CC company and they tried to get 'these people' on the phone and were told that 'their' computers were down.  Oh how convenient.  So they are supposed to call me back.  She said in 20 minutes, but it's been like 40 already.

Hi everyone. I can't understand how these guys can get away with it for so long! I too have been charged by WC HOMEPLAY-V with 16.95 since January. Although a couple of months I "managed" to contact that "company" and they confirmed to have cancelled the payments, I noticed today that I was charged both last month and this month the same amount by the same company. I called today again and their computers are conveniently "down".
And on top of the cake, I have been on hold with the Dispute Department of my bank for about 40 mins now - "you are a valued customer and we appreciate your call ... blah blah blah ... next available specialist to assist you". Is this the payment day and they work together?
