I noticed on my bank statement, this month, that there was a charge of 49.95 taken out of my bank account. It showed up as UMG Merchanntec HSOLU... And an 800 phone number.
I looked on my statement, that I reconcile every month for our business, and for about 5 months in a row this charge had been deducted. All of the other times it showed up as a Discover Network charge, which we do deal with in our business... But only for deposits (I wasn't aware of that). So, I called the 800 number and the person said that back in Nov. Of 07 that (he gave a name of our employee, but it was her former name of about 2 years ago). He said she authorized a 30 day free trial of tech support, and if it wasn't canceled that they would charge us every month.
I told them "NO NO NO", we do not want this service, and that we would like our money back. They said they would refund us the total amount... Which I don't know if that will happen or not.
Before I found out this was a rip off company, I started thinking my step-son might have something to do with this, and I almost blamed him, but he was smart enough to check out the rip-off web site and there it was.
I will be busy today calling my bank, the Discover Co., and the Merchanttec company also.
