Fredericks of Hollywood Duets Membership Scam

This is to alert all consumers that if you make an online purchase on

Fredericks of Hollywood, you are automatically enrolled in their Duets

membership program for $69.99. This program is administered by Membership

Services, an outside company that works for 80 different scamming

auto-billing plans.

You have 90 days to opt out. If you miss the charge like I did on your

credit card statement you are billed $69.99 until you opt out.

They've lost a customer forever because of this scam. I overlooked two years

of bogus charges of $140 before discovering the charge this year. Now

Membership Services *888-446-4923 claims I will no longer be automatically

charged.

Don't make the same mistake I did. Do not buy online from Fredericks or

deal with Membership Services.. There are other good options out there. SZ

WRONG -- even if you actively tell them not to, Fredericks is charging you. It's a wonderful SCAM from their point of view because a husband who sees the charge on the credit card bill thinks his wife has bought something for a special occaision. The wife thinks the same of the husband. This is how they get away with continually ripping off customers. I will NEVER shop there again and I will actively discourage anyone from EVER shopping there. This behavior is clearly unethical and maybe even CRIMINAL.

Protect yourself -- AVOID FREDERICKS.

You will also be charged if you call in your order. I placed an order by phone, declined membership in Duets,and was still charged 79.99. Luckily I caught it on my first statement, but it will take them 2 billing cycles to credit my account. Never again will I shop Fredericks.

the membership is not automatically applied, you must actually click accept. Like most customers not everyone reads the fine print.
