UMG Services/Buyers Edge or My Advisor Complaint - Credit Card Fraud

Posted by Ponie on 2006-02-23:

Perhaps you didn't give out credit card information, but you must have given out bank information for you to be charged. Maybe if you weren't so interested in getting 'something for nothing' (which NEVER happens!) you wouldn't have been stung. Whenever I get such an unreasonable call I tell them to take my number off their list or just outright hang up on them.

I had the same thing happen to me with the gas vouchers and magazines I think it was. They recorded the conversation I think to for verification and I never gave out any of my credit card information. They told me that they were part of a visa credit card point back program. They had all of my information already. Before they hung up I told them I wasn't interested anymore so I told them that I didn't want it and what did they do..hang up. I've been con-ed over 200 dollars in the past 3 months from them and this has to stop. I can't find a way to stop it though...

This happened to me too!! A telemarketer spoke with my young daughter, they told her I was part of their program, she didn't give out any info (she doesn't have any knowledge of)The next thing I know all kinds of companies are taking money out of my account. In contacting UMG they are refusing to refund all my money. I too would like to be part of a class action suit. They are underhanded and should not be allowed to operate!!

I've got the same story; however, the difference is that I've never talked to anyone or been to any of their websites. Yet, my bank account has been charged not once but four times in one day.
Has anyone other than me contacted a consumer affairs agency with any state?

How do we file a class action? I would like to be involved, it just pisses me off that these companies find the right in themselves to deceive people with misleading advertising- and worse- with no notification which in my mind shoud be unlawfull. We have to make it impossible for them and companies like this to fraud innocent people. Just because they charge small amounts, we might not recognize or care but just think of how much money they rip off of us in total.

Domestications sold my information and more importantly sold my credit card number to
a company called Buyers edge. I received a letter in the mail from Buyers edge thanking me for joining their membership program, normally I would just throw this stuff in the trash but the letter went on to say that they would automatically charge my credit card on file for $99 if I didn’t cancel within 30 days. When I called to cancel, I asked how they got my information and I was told Domestications signed me up. If you order product on line from Domestications, watch out for this scam.

They got me through Sky Mall. I never authorized anything. I found out months later that I "ordered" Buyers Edge online.
