i have a 24.95 charge to my account and i have no idea why

Hi

&sem calue plus 1800 475 1942 MN and &sem funsource 1800 4751942 MN. i was charged $24.95 twice with each company every months for 3 months without my approval. I am not sure where they got my information. Beware of the faud!!!!!!

I got the phone call from represtentative 4 times regarding free gass cards told that person I did not want them since it was only 4 cards and you could only use it 1 coupon at a time. Each time I told them I was not interested that was back in August 2010, they still deducted my debit accoutn which they could only of gotten when I purchased the Magic bullet along with their extended warrany for 3 yrs. I had cancelled it back in 2010 since I never wanted it in the beginning on the phone I stated that, still for over a year now they have gotten money which I never authorized and repeatedly asked to cancelled. I even called my bank, which told me they could not do anything and i had to call them, I have called them many time there is no answer and today again I called ...I got somebody finnaly on the line they addressed me as my aunt Barbra, so when I told them no I am Cheryl and you are still deducting money from my account and for the 12 time I want it stoped, it took her 10 minutes to find me, but still they have me connected as Barbra....which has no affilation at this time with the company.... hmmm could it be because we had told them we did not want it!!!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING!!!!!!

this offer was given as a freebie as a reward for an order.  I was told that I would receive an e-mail showing the contract because I might not receive it by mail  in time to verify it.  The e-mail has never arrived but copies of the magazine, "People"have been delivered to my house.  I told the caller that I didn't want any magazines.  She said that I could cancel it using the info in the e-mail.  It didn't arrive.  I believe that the magazine co. is called magazine direct.  I DON'T WANT ANY MAGAZINES, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHICH I CONSIDER TRASH.

I have a $24.95 charge on my checking account that I never authorized from SEM *VALUE PLUS MN!  Phone number 8004751942.....I never called this company, don't have any idea what it is!  I want my money back..........

I believe I got hooked into this while buying the AHH bras advertised on tv. I am also receiving SELF
magazine which I don't remember subscribing to. I pulled the 800 475-1942 mn info off my charge account
statement. listed as SEM.value plus.

Thanks so much for the information I really did not want to mail it in ,I wanted to do it ASAP, they had the nerve to take money from my account and I don't even have the stuff yet!!

iI'M PISSED, I CCALLED THESE PEOPLE AND THEY DID REFUND ME 2 X $19.95 , WHAT SHE FAID TO TELL ME WAS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEING $19.95 PE5 MO. SINCE MARCH 2011. I WANT MY MONEY. CONTACT ME AT  Photomaker2010@hotmail.com   IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU, I'LL BE GOING TO THE FRAUD DIV OF WELLS FARGO....THANK YOU.

Greetings,

I'm not certain if I'm reporting this to the correct place but I DO want people to be alerted.  This is an internet business that somehow got my information and sent me information via snail-mail, which is how I found out that they had infiltrated my world, so to speak.

http://www.valueplusonline.com/

This company sells "subscriptions," from what I can tell.  The mail they sent to me alerted me to the fact that they were going to charge my bank account for this "subscription."  I had never heard of them before I got the mail.  I've written to ask them how they got my information but haven't heard back from them yet.  The bottom line is .. somehow this company obtains information on people and charges them.  If you're not alert .. if you don't open your junk mail and see what companies might be doing to you without your knowledge .. you can be charged for junk you never ordered.

Fight back ... I guess that's all we can do.

Blessings to all.

thank u for the website i hope this works. and i am going to channel 2 news about this

Stop taking my money out of my account I don't want the program thank u u have a nice day

This company is NOW using this telephone as the "Remove your name from the National DO NOT CALL LIST number in order to get your telephone number so they can call you later!!!  I have seen e-mails on this number and they ask that you call this number to get your name off solicitation lists from telemarketers.  Unfortunately, it just puts you on THEIR list so they can call and harass you later!!
BEWARE of 800-475-1942 ! ! ! ! !
When I tried to call them back, a woman answered and I asked who she worked for, she hung up on ME!

I got a charge on bank account for 24.95$ and I have no idea where this came from

As with all fraudulent charges, immediately contact your bank to dispute the fraudulent charge, close the account or block the card number to prevent additional fraud, and follow up with a fraud affidavit.

File fraud complaints with FTC at www.ftc.gov, and at www.ic3.gov

You may also wish to contact the offices of Sen. Jay Rockefeller.  The Senate Commerce Committee held hearings on this type of consumer fraud a couple years back.

have found that two payments for $21.95 has been taken out of my account for past 2 months
with no idea who this company is.  I am going to have my bank investigate further and have stop payments to anyone on this account

keep calling your bank about this scam company-- my bank was finally able to get through
to them and got a refund for two unapproved payments they took out of my account... if
you don't keep calling and having the bank stop payment you will be contuning having
money taken out of your account
