I ordered from Pizza Hut and others have ordered from FTD Florist, JC Whitney Tiger Direct, Vista Print and clicked a box requesting that they send you coupons and discounts information and suddenly started receiving $12.00 monthly charges? Where did these companies get access to our credit card information?
It turns out when you order online at these companies they supply your credit card info to a 3rd party company, in this case, COMPLETE SAVINGS, and they start charging you a monthly fee for discounts you never get on products you never order. The way it works: the Pizza Hut site offers you money off your order for filling out a survey. The survey is much longer than you expect. when you click out of it, it signs you up as agreeing to Terms and Conditions, which is a lie. Then Pizza Hut gives your credit card info to a company you never heard of.
I am looking to put together a group of individuals who have had their credit card charged through COMPLETE SAVINGS and are interested in putting a stop to these types of fraudulent practices.
While the Senate Commerce Committee is investigating these practices, as consumers, we have the right to sue the merchants directly. If you have been wronged and interested to participate in a class action, please reply here or email me at [email protected].
