I just spotted a $39.90 charge on my bank account from Shopping essentials plus. At first I thought my husband may have purchased something but when I asked him, he did not. I called the 800 number listed and was able to speak with a company representative (who was not the kindest), she seemed irritated when I didn't want to provide my CC number and then asked for a membership ID number which I did not have as I never signed up for it. Anyway, she informed me that I signed up through Classmates.com (I was a member) but I did not sign up for this. After googling their information I came up with a ton of reports about the same thing happening to other people through many websites (all which are supposed to be secure). I am extrememly concerned that Classmates is allowing people to get my information. I am also concerned about some of their charges as well. I will now have to wait 2 days to see if they refund my money as they said they would. I will also have to close my Debit Card and wait for a new one. This is going to be very stressful and time consuming. I want to know how to get the information out to people before the charge occurs. Make sure you inform the people you know about the SCAM.
