Credit Card Scam Via Phone
By -

EVERYONE OUT THERE... BE VERY AWARE OF THIS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY!!!!! Two Saturdays ago, I received a phone call telling me I had won $25 in gas cards and $200 in shopping credit to any store in their organization (what they failed to mention when they said that, was I needed to be a member in good standing to collect these benefits and that means paying their $19.95 a month for the service). There was a $1 initial fee to check these services out once I received the literature and my personal access number. I had two weeks to cancel this service.

However, the paperwork wouldn't reach me until two weeks (which I thought was really strange, because they could charge my credit card account before I actually had my access code or information in hand to check this all out). They did not ask for my credit card number but said they would automatically bill everything to "that" credit card. How the heck are these people getting access to everyone's credit card numbers? And we wonder how identity theft occurs... if everyone who has access to a computer has access to people's financial information no wonder this problem occurs so often.

Credit Card Fraud
By -

NEPTUNE, NEW JERSEY -- U.M.G. Buyer's Edge Inc. TELEPHONE: 1-866-424-5255. MAILING ADDRESS: 929 North Plumgrove, Schaumburg, IL 60173. I want to be involved in A class-action lawsuit filed against this company for making unauthorized charges to my bank account. I first received a phone call about free gas vouchers and information on various things.

Right after I got off of the phone I was charged a dollar from these people keep in mind I never gave any of my credit card information. The phone that I was called on is not even in my name. This company is an obvious problem since so many people have experienced the same thing. We need to form a lawsuit against them. It is the only way to stop them from making money off of innocent people.

UMG is a scam artist that has been around for many years
By -

Their website is www.unitedmarket.com. They may con you into accepting "free gas coupons" or other "free" things and then give you additional services at a monthly fee. If you're lucky, you can recover the last few transactions. Visa might give out your card number to UMG when you first activate a card, because I never told the telemarketer my card number and it was charged. They are located at: Corporate Office (Secondary Call Center/Claims Processing) United Marketing Group 929 N Plum Grove Road Schaumburg, IL 60173 (847) 240-2005 Fax: (847) 240-2177. If I'm ever in the area, I will be sure to pay them a visit.

Another Fraud Story
By -

Well I like the rest of you just discovered today that I have been hit for at least 2 months for $14.95 out of my checking acct. (by way of my debit card) from both of these companies. I have no idea what they are for or where they got my info. I certainly hope that someone somewhere can do something to stop these people. I am going to call the bank to see what I can do to stop this. I have ordered from 2 companies online and you can bet I won't be ordering anything else. It's pretty sad when you think you are on a secure site and then something like this happens. I am going to file a complaint with our BBB. I did respond to the atty from IL. I hope he can do something about these companies.

Scam, shameless, file fraud with CC
By -

ILLINOIS -- Same here. Finally noticed these charges on my CC. Have been charged for almost a year! I feel so stupid didn't pick it up earlier but the charges looked so legit it didn't get my attention. Called them and asked who they are and what they did and told them I never signed up. Answer: you must have clicked on something on the Internet! This is a complete scam/ fraud. I'm surprised there is no class action lawsuit avaunt them yet. Called my CC and filed a fraud. We should all at least do that and make them suffer for the money they have scammed out of us. I'm also filing with BBB.

Unauthorized charges on my credit card
By -

I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue. I'm ashamed to say that I just realized a company has been charging my credit card for the past 2 years for $14.95 a month for a service/product I never asked for, never received & never authorized!! After calling them to ask why they are charging me, they said they are a 3rd party to a company I purchased from, Church & Dwight, the makers of Arm & Hammer and many other products, gave them my account info after I made a purchase from them.

Even though I never authorized any purchase with UMB, they say that because of my purchase from Church & Dwight, I allowed this to happen. I called C&H to ask them about this, they replied that they do give out info to third parties, and are not responsible for anything these companies do with the info. Here I thought I was making a purchase from a trusted company!!! So what did I receive from UMB, nothing!!! If I had received something, I would have been aware right away contacted them to say that I never ordered anything and demand a refund, only maybe losing $14.95.

These guys are smart cons, they know there are a lot of people like me that don't pay close enough attention to there bank account, and can rip you off. UMB is only offering me a one month refund of $14.95 for this "so called" service I never received. They took me for almost $400!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a good lawyer, but it will cost me more than $400 to do so. ANYONE OUT THERE WITH INFO THAT CAN HELP ME??????

Scam - UMG (United Marketing Group)
By -

It is very serious warning, everybody should check on your credit card statement carefully every month. In case you will be a target of this scam company (UMG). I found out that they have been charging me $14.95 in my credit card for two months. I called the credit card company and they suggested me to call this company (1-888-326-7156) and talk to them also to get the refund from them. They were able to give me the refund just for one month instead of two, because of the company's policy (what a joke, SCAM company is talking about the company's policy to me?)

I asked them how come they can charge me this amount to my credit card without my authorize? Guess what, SHE (the lady that I talked to) CAN'T EVEN ANSWER MY QUESTION! I also ask her, if I really did sign up for anything with your company and why I never received any confirmation letter or email from your company? Oh no, another NO ANSWER FROM THEM.

What I want to say is... if your credit card got charged by them and without your authorize, you should call them and get your refund back! I was informed by the credit card company that they got a lot of this complaining call about this SCAM UMG, and I am just so curious that why the credit card company didn't block this company since they all aware of this is a SCAM company! Good luck!

Online Scams
By -

I started getting charges for UMG*BUYERSEDGE CALL 888 at 14.95 for two months before I found it on my bank account. I found a number and called to find out what it was about. The person on the phone said I signed up online for it, but I don't do that and never give my bank account information out to anyone. I was able to cancel it and got a cancellation number, we will see if I get charged again. I guess we have to be very careful about where we go and what we click on when surfing the net. I will for sure watch my account a lot closer from now on.

Charges Without Any Service Or Product
By -

NY, NEW YORK -- I have in the past complained about charges by this company of $ 19.95 to my credit card. I got a refund and thought that they will never charge again. Well, they just continued to do this not only once but even twice a month and I again had to contact my credit card company with a complaint. I have never received anything from this company, no product no service. I have tried to call them but since there charges have no reference number on my credit card statement I could only give my name and this did not lead to anything. It seems to me that this company somehow gets your credit info and then starts charging you for nothing.

Unlawful charge to my credit card
By -

ILLINOIS -- I am pretty disgusted that an on-line company can bill my credit card for no reason. How do they get the credit card number in the first place? The charge was only 1 dollar for each of the two companies, but even at 1 dollar, can you imagine what kind of illegal monies they can generate by just hoping that no one will catch their scam. I immediately contacted my bank. I had better not see any more of this garbage in the future on my account. From other reviews on my3cents.com, I can see I was not the only one who has had problems with these companies.
