Complaint - WC Value Plus

I've seen ALOT of others have gotten scammed by this company also, so I

wanted to add mine to the list.

For the past 2 months I was getting charged $19.95 to my bank account from

WC Value Plus. I thought it was something else at first and didn't mess with

it. This month I saw it again and knew it wasn't what i thought. I emailed

the bank and they gave me the company name and a phone number to them at

1-800-475-1942. I did a quick internet search of the company to see what i

was dealing with since i had no idea what this was. I put the name in a

search engine and came up w/ pages and pages of different complaint sites w/

people having this same problem. So i called the number given. The girl

answered the phone asking my name and if i was calling about a faudulent

charge to my account. That right there set off all kinds of flags. It must

be a huge problem if their customer support answers the phone asking if

you're calling to complain!! I said yes and she asked what she could do for

me today. I told her i didn't know b/c i don't even know what this company

is and what the charge was. She said it was from a few months ago, when

someone called from my CREDIT CARD (even though this charge was to my debit

card/bank account!!) signing me up for all these "free" bonuses like

Shoppers Advantage, free gas cards (that i never got), etc. I remember the

call. I remember them telling me there would be no charges to me. I don't

however remember any kind of mention of this company or it's charges. She

said they're affiliated w/ other companies so when you sign up for them,

they automatically give your info to this company and you're signed up w/

them also. Nice huh.

I told her to cancel my account. She did and quickly did her spill about no

more charges to my card and "have a nice day" and was just going to hang up

real fast! I said no wait. I need to get the previous charges taken off

also. Oooohhhhh. Then she went back and took them off saying my account will

be credited back on the next billing cycle. So we'll see.

But that shows what kind of "business" they do. They quietly scam you with

these charges under $20 that most people don't really pay attention to. Then

when you call they try to get you off the line before you can even ask about

taking off your other charges. So they're getting all this free money for

nothing. I've learned my lesson and will not be taking any more "free"

offers from anyone. The risk just isn't worth it.
