Complaint / Review
Privacymatters & Savingsmart
I got charged 4 times in two days: $1 twice then $19.95 and $29.95 even though I have cancelled membership! Ripoff!

On 3/16/07, I was "lured" by PrivacyMatters into their website with an ad for a free credit report. I then found out they charged $1.00 for it, which was supposed to be free. They gave me an ID number but when I entered it trying to get into their website, it didn't work.

I called them on the phone and told them what happened. They told me to wait for an hour then re-enter everything. I was then assigned another ID which I used to obtain my credit report from INTELIUS. After I obtained the credit report, I decided to cancel their 7-day trial membership.

I called the 877-993-6264 number but no answer! I then called another number 1-888-840-6301 but also no answer. I tried to get into their website to cancel but somehow was steered to the SavingSmart.com website!

I was sure SavingSmart is connected with PrivacyMatters because I tried twice and both times it steered me to SavingSmart.com. I then cancelled the trial membership via email and got a cancellation confirmation number 111246284 from SavingSmart.

I was shocked to find out today (4/5/07) that I have been charged four times as follows: 3/16/07 PrivacyMatters $1.00, SavingSmart $1.00; and twice $19.95 and $29.95 on 3/23/07 by PrivacyMatters. The only thing I got from them is one credit report (which I could have obtained free anyway). Due to their dubious acts, this outfit should be exposed as widely as possible so people should be very cautious when dealing with them.
