I've been a Plaxo customer for many years. They emailed me offering what they called Plaxo TRIAL PAY. They would give me a year's free use of their greeting cards in return for considering a Blog Tool Kit. I just needed to pay $1.97 which was charged to my debit card.
BlogToolKit.com fraudulently charged my card a further $39.95. I complained to my Bank who advised me to call BlogToolKit's 800 number on the transaction advice. The Bank indicated that they might otherwise continue to charge on a monthly basis.
I called the 800 number only to get a recorded messages saying the number was unassigned. I emailed BlogToolKit via their website and got no response.
I emailed Plaxo and they declined to assist me after numerous fruitless communications with them. (Their service has gone down the pan since they were acquired by Comcast!)
It took a day of my time dealing with the Bank but they reversed the 39.95 unauthorized charge and advised me to cancel my card to avoid a recurring charge.
By the way, I never received the so-called tool kit or anything from the company.
This is clearly a scam and I'm disgusted with Plaxo who were complicit in this scam.
