This company, lifestyledealsnow.com charged my checking acct through un unauthorized debit of $2.50. When I called the number listed in the debit entry in my bank records, which is listed above in the company's location (VMLsupport.com at 1-877-778-6031), I was told VML is a company that collects fees on behalf of companies on a wordwide basis (!)& that lifestyledeals.com is a company they serve. This debit was posted to my account yesterday, 11/18, and would have caused my checking account to become overdrawn. I had to transfer the difference into my account today, 11/19, to avoid the overdrawn fee for now.
I was told that this $2.50 debit was an introductory fee for a service (that I did not order) and that it would become a $39.95 charge as soon as the introductory period was over. The agent couldn't tell me how long the introductory period is. So I told him that I did not authorize the introductory fee and that I wanted to cancel all of it. He told me that he did that, and gave me a reference# as being 2020135 to notate the cancellation. He said that it would take 7-10 business days to process.
I'll have to stay on top of this to see if it gets credited to my account in the 7-10 business days. If it does not, I will need to call again. So if you are reading this, call VML and tell them that you did not authorize this charge. Tell VML that you want to cancel the lifestyledealsnow.com services and ask for a reference number.
And then notify your bank if this was done thru a credit or debit card. I'm having my bank issue me a new debit card number as this incident is an indication that my debit card number has been used fraudulently. My guess is that somehow my debit card number was intercepted somewhere in the great cyperspace of the computer world and this company got a hold of it. This is a felony! Why don't the govt agencies go after '.com' companies like this one once they are notified?!?
Fight back for justice. This is intolerable! So much scamming is going on. Just look at all the complaints listed here just for this one company!
