Stamps.com rip off

I was suckered into signing up with Stamps.com on a trial basis when I

foolishly clicked on the "get a free laptop" scam. I tried to cancel online

but was unable to, which I found to be absurd, since I signed up online.

When I tried to call to cancel I was left hanging on the phone several times

for long periods of time waiting for someone to pick up. They never did. I

assumed they would send me a welcome letter or something, and I would reply

to that and cancel my trial account. Well, I never heard anything from

them, EVER. I forgot about them until the first charge came through on my

credit card, and when I finally got through to cancel, not only did they

refuse to refund the money for a sevice not rendered, the charged me for a

full other month!!!

They were singularly unpleasant and intractable on the phone as well.

Everyone needs to know what a shabby and useless service this is and do NOT

click on ANY adds, and DO NOT sign up for Stamps.com. Use the post office,

it's free.

I too can't figure out how they got my info, but they did and I have the same basic story type that you read here. However, I still have seen my one month credit that they told me and my credit card company? But I did a three way with the credit card company, so I sure they will get at least one month back? I'm contacting the B.B.B both in my home state and in California....Let's keep up the heat..

I work at a class action law firm and we are investigating this issue. I am interested in talking to people and hearing about their experiences. Please contact me at abby1100ny AT yahoo.com if you have had trouble canceling your account with stamps.com, have been billed fraudulently by stamps.com, or have any questions on this investigation. Thanks, Abigail.

I made a stamps.com account two months ago to print postage on One envelope instead of having to buy a single stamp, since I never mail anything.

I notice this 17.99 charge on my bank card this month and then I research and find out their scam and not alerting the accounts owners of automatic charges and the difficulty to cancel and now I am going to call them to cancel my account. I called my bank to tell them about this unauthorized charge and they showed me it was also charged last month so 2x 17.99 for services I never used.

I went on their website and try to open what I thought was a 30 day free trial. During the registration process I entered my credit card and during the verification I received a message telling me that there was a problem with my credit card and the page locked up. To make a long story short I tried 2 more times with a second credit card and ended up with 3 accounts. I immediately called and cancelled the account. The only cancelled 1 of the 3 accounts and continue to bill me for the other 2 accounts. I called them and they basically told me that even though I did not use them I was out of luck nad had to pay the monthly service fees. DO NOT SING UP WITH STAMPS.COM.
