I had received my bank statement this month and saw a company had charged my bank account through my debt card for 9.95. I tried to get ahold of them and they were closed. I have only used my debt card two times on the internet, one was to order concert tickets and the other was to get ahold of old classmates for a high school reunion through classmates.com.
To find out who this company is I looked them up on the internet and found out I was not the only one trying to find out who Simple Escapes2 were.
I finally got ahold of the company and after about a half hour of being on hold got to talk to someone who was then have computer problems and so I had to sit on hold for about fifteen minutes.
The employee (James) got back on the phone and I asked him what this company is and how they got my information. He had told me that I signed up for their membership while on classmates.com. I had asked him again what there company did and who they were. He told me I should have already received my membership package, and would say anything to avoid telling me anything about them.
Finally I had made it perfectly clear about four times that i wanted my bank account credited and i wanted to see no more charges on my account in the future. James promised me I would be refunded in 2 days. I hope he will keep his promise.
So now I am cancelling classmates.com as well and will never use my debt card online again.
I hope someone gets MWI SIMPLE ESCAPES2 and charges them with something more than money. Just for all of my worrying and the hundreds of others who now wonder when this company will scam them for more of their hard earned money.
