Scammers. Several (fake) company names registered at the same phone number. They usually take amount of 40$ from your account. If this happened to you, immidiately block your credit card until it itsn't too late !
I agreed to pay $4.87 for a worthless three day download pass on 9/15/08. This was paid to Heather 1 according to my bank statement. On the same day $1.00 was paid to VIDPASS and $1.00 to AVNTWK without my permission. Then on 9/18/08 $39.73 was paid to Heather 1, $39.73 to VIDPASS and $9.82 to AVNTWK. These were all unauthorized charges except for the original $4.87. 1-800-934-1875 was the only other information on my bank statement. I called that number and talked to someone on an almost unintelligible phone. I was told that I would get a refund in 6-10 days (I think). I said that if I didn't I next would be contacting my state attorney general. I don't know if that will help, but I guess it's worth a try.
I was trying what I thought was a trial for a software download site - megadownloadpass.com. Next thing I knew all these porno pictures were coming up on the screen and I canceled immediately. The software download never worked either. Now I discovered I have been charged $39.73 a month. I traced the charges to Jettis International which is a credit card processing site and they had a cancellation form to cancel out any future charges, but I've already been charged nearly $120. I know, I should be more alert.
I got 4 charges from this scammer add up to 85.33 on my Visa statement. I called the 1-800 # and was told that the charges would be reversed. I'll wait and see. Meantime, I have advised my credit card company about the unauthorized charges and have deducted it from my payment.
Apparently these scammers somehow signed me up for allnetworkpass.com and allelitepass.com. I'm guessing my info was bought from some other sketch site I may have signed up on for a month. Or perhaps it's the same business. They used the same username and password across both sites. Usernames and passwords that I typically use for such sites. My charges were $37.30 and $36.10.
Eventually I found a number where they offered chargebacks in 7 - 10 business days. I also disputed the charges with my bank.
I think someone needs to start a class action against these guys. Tough to get a hold of, and they know they're running a scam. They're quite willing to refund you - or at least tell you they're doing so - quickly. Probably because they don't want to catch any extra heat.
Here's the deal....its all a scam. All the company names. I traced info to a company called LB Pride Studios Limited in Durham, Great Britain. These people are very good at covering who they are. I also found that the company that hosts the websites is also the owner of all those websites. Moniker Online Services is a fraud. So are all the names of the companies associated with this phone number. You are not calling within the US. They are getting your info from thousands of websites that were created to steal your money. They appear as a legitimate site that piggy backs other sites. Always dispute with the bank and file an online report with the FBI. Even if they are out of the country the FBI can work with other law enforcement agencies like interpool to track down criminals. I hope this helps people.
