$40.98 was charged to my credit Card. I did not authorize any charge to my card. Please credit my account shortly, or I will notify Visa. yt GarryGravelle
I sent them two emails this morning telling me I didn't want the subscription...had no idea I was being renewed each year, and give back the $39.00 they took out of my checking account. They replied twice that I could cancel membership, and it would apply to next renewal date, however, It won't to what they just took out or this years membership. Does anyone else rememember this happening before, as in last year, and did Classmates ever charge $39.00 a year for membership before? This is the first time I am being billed for this. I had been at the site and set up a profile years ago, but, I don't believe I was signed up for any special account, and certainly I would never sign up for something costing #39.00.
I noticed too that in the response they inform us that classmates is now under a new or other name. I wonder if this wasn't a planned scheme, over the New Years weekend, to steal from all our checking accounts using some agreement we were not aware of. Did they raise the price with this new company taking over, and made sure not to tell anyone? Again, I never signed up for this type of membership and price. I think they are literally scamming/stealing from their 'members' free and paying. Maybe they are going down the tubes and skipping out with everyones money, gained by trickery, on their way out? Not very happy and will be informing my bank. Not sure if they can get my money back. Looks like this company planned ahead, anticipated this reaction from those they stole from, and are covering their suposed 'legal' behinds. Nasty folks! I hope the government steps in and does something real fast.
I am retired/disabled on fixed income, and have my social security automatically deposited in the bank. With the long holiday weekend I guess they decided to pick this week to scam us all. I visit my check account online to manage it, and was surprised to see the $39.00 bill/deduction. Didn't know what it was and thought maybe my bank was accidententially charging me some sort of fee. Was waiting for it to show when they opened to find out who it was from. This morning it showed, and I was flabergasted.
I emailed the Company and they sent out a prepared form response, as if they were expecting thousands of complaints on this issue. Seems they will accept our cancellation of membership, but it applies to next renewal, and they get to keep this renewal years subscription. I never signed up for any $39.00 membership and had no idea I was on automatic renewal. According to them it was in the agreement we checked off. Does anyone else remember checking off an agreement to pay thirty nine dollars each year for renewal? It was several years ago I actually 'joined' and have never gotten a bill that I know of, and would surly have noticed one for thirty nine dollars. I hope the government steps in and stops them, and gets our money back. It doesn't look like they will be returning it to us willingly. I think for them this was a one time robbery, knowing they could only pull it off once. Maybe they are going out of business, and decided to do a little money lifting from everyone on the way out?
I had 'signed up' for membership several years ago, and was never automatically billed and for sure would never have signed up for something this expensive. I was not billed last year, and this came as a complete surprise... Rip off, and I believe well planned to be. You won't be getting your money back. They say you can cancel, but, money wise, that is so they don't bill you NEXT New Years. They get to keep 'THIS YEARS" membership they just stole from our accounts.
