Fax trial scam, no refund
I signed up for eFax free trail on Jun 10th this year. I sent a fax to try out the service. It's a 9 page fax, I sent from their website. I didn't get any email confirmation back until about 2 hours later. The email said that the fax failed. So I send it again. This time, I sent through email, which is their preferred way. Again, no confirmation, finally, about 5 hours later, I received an email saying that the fax has been sent but it took almost 2 hours. I didn't pay attention since I thought I am still in the trial period. Today, I called to cancel the service since I wasn't satisfied with their service based on that experience. The rep told me that I have been charged about $16 for that fax. Apparently, the free trial only allows you to send 30 fax page, to be exactly, it's actually 30 fax page minute. That is to say, even if you send 1 page, but somehow it took 31 mins, you'll be charged for the 1 min transmissionm cost. I questioned them why it took them 2 hours to send 9 pages, they don't know. All they say is that they don't have control over that and I have to pay up! NO REFUND! WHAT A SCAM! DON'T USE EFAX!

Will not cancel acct
I have spent 6 months and been charged $125+ while trying to cancel my account with these bandits. Beginning in11/10, I have tried cancelling via live chat, phone, and email with no results. I talked with a surly CSR who spoke very bad English today and did get a cancellation confirmation mailed to me. We shall see. However, I was told no refund was possible because they had no record of my previous communications. Very convenient -- for them! If this does not work, I will have to change financial account numbers to keep them out of my pockets, a time-consuming and extremely annoying prospect.

They also allow, or perhaps encourage, tons of junk email to be sent. They say they can do nothing about It. Really?

My suggestion is to spend a few $$$ to buy the equipment so VoIP line and computer can service faxes. Took about 15 minutess to install. Also pretty much eliminates junk faxes.

I found out after the fact that they have large numbers of consumer complaints filed with the BBB. Their attitude is that they just don not care. Whatever you do, stay away from eFax!!!

30 Day Trial Period Scam
I signed up for a 30 day free trial of Efax and kept getting spam faxes sent to my email account.
Due to this, I had no intention of signing up.

I was a few days late in "NOT" cancelling the 30 day trial period (Why do you have to call to cancel a free trial period anyways?) and they charged my Credit card $12.95!

I call to close the account that they automatically signed me up. I get put on hold for 10 minutes and the call gets disconnected. So I have to call back again and wait for another 10 minutes. Once I am connected with an operator, I asked for a prorated refund since I was a few days late. They say it's against their policy!

Beware of portability rules
Beware, if you signup for their service you CANNOT PORT YOUR NUMBER to another service. eFax charges more than twice as other services and are the only company to DISSALLOW PORTABILITY. What a slimy way to lock in clients.

eFax poor customer service, unreasonable and expensive charges, will not refund
eFax poor customer service, unreasonable and expensive charges

I have been an eFax customer since 2003. Have not used the service at least for the past 4 years. They would automatically charge my credit card annually without any pre notification. On 11/18/10 when I got my credit card statement, I noticed a charge for $139.95 for my yearly subscription made by eFax on 11/9/10. I called eFax customer service immediately. Customer service was basically rude and finally agreed to refund only $127. Stating that I had called more then 7 days after the charge was made and they are taking $12.95 for that. When I told them I received the credit card statement only on that day and came to know about the charges and they was no pre notification from them about this charge, they told they are not required by the contract to return any money nor give notification. I asked to speak to Customer Service supervisor and was denied stating the supervisor is very busy. Their website also does not list their leadership info to complain

Basically here is a company at this digital age that is very expensive, very rude, zero customer service and looks at only swindling customer’s money. Should stay away from company like this

private information
I was an efax client for more than ten years. It is on my business cards, letterhead and all emails sent to clients since 1999. I had the IRS send me copies of all my information, W-2's and tax returns for the last 3 years. One week later I called the IRS back because I did not receive the documents. They told me all were sent. I tried to log on to Efax, to no avail. When I finally spoke to someone from Efax, I was told my account was closed and another person had my number. This person now has all of my tax information, SSN, address, phone number, AGI, etc. Anything they need to steal my identity. Do not trust this company.

won't refund money
DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH EFAX!!!

Efax won't refund any money if you cancel your service. If you tell them in July that you will be cancelling your service at the end of October when your annual billing runs out, they will immediately cancel your service and not give you a refund for the unused months. they say it's all explained in the terms of agreement that you signed.

When I told them that the Better Business Bureau had received 135 complaints against them in the last several months, they said they were aware of it.

Terrible Business Practice
Multi-year customer who rarely used eFax service but paid $169/year on the chance I might receive faxes. Annual service renewed in mid-March automatically. Recently, in attemptng to use their software on my Snow Leopard OS Macintosh, the software would not run. There is no update offered.

I called to complain and request a refund. The two levels of "Customer Service" people said their company policy was not to issue refunds--but they would cancel my service. I asked to speak to higher ups and the CSR said she did not have any higher ups. She said thir agreement does not guarantee their software will work on Macintosh computers and she had no date for when an update would be available. I consider this company close to a scam. The employ terrible business practices and an abuse of interstate commerce over the net. Some state attorney general (CA?) should investigate and either shut them down or get them to respect the rights of consumers. I will never do business with eFax or their parent company again.
