On June 18, 2010 I was looking online for opportunities for a home-based business. I don't know for sure what site I was on, but I clicked on a posting that said for a fee of $2.95 you could search their database for business opportunities that you might be interested in pursuing. I paid th $2.95 fee with my Capital One credit card and looked at the site. I found no listings that I cared to investigate so I left the site. The next bill from Capital One had a charge from Fastnet Learning on June 25, 2010 for $79.99. I did not authorize this charge, and I should not have to pay it. I have been in contact with Capital One several times, and the charge has been dropped and reposted to my account. I should not have to pay for something that I did not authorize.
When I called the number on my credit card bill, I have not gotten any satisfaction. Today when I called the number, I got a recording that said it was not a working number. I looked for a website tonight and found the information that many people had received similar types of charges and the company was operating an online scam. What do I need to do to recover this fraudulent charge? Jane Wise [email protected]

FASTNET LEARNING OF AZ. are scamming many by offering a kit for $2.95 to start a home business. The $2.95 is just to get your bank or credit card information, for they know even the unemployed can afford $2.95. After getting my information they proceeded to withdraw an unauthorized amount of $79.99 from my bank account. They didn't just stop at one $79.99 but they change company name or sold my information to another company name PROFITGURUONTHEWEB.COM and a month later withdrew another $79.99 from my account. Now I am angry with these heartless idiots and myself for not paying closer attention to my account. The phone number to this Fastnet Learning 888-890-8509 conveniently stay busy 24/7 but I was able to contact the profitguruontheweb.com, customer services at 866-355-8785 of UT. The young lady gave me a first name only and ask that I send proof of transaction via fax, she gave me the fax number but in the meantime I've been working with my bank FRAUD dept., filed a electronic claim. From this point I am having my bank to investigate these unauthorized charges. My take-a-way lesson: Frequently check my bank and credit card statement and don't allow a weak position in life (such as unemployment) cause me to make quick and bad decision even if it is just $2.95 or I THOUGHT.

I was charged $2.95 and understood that to be a one time deduction. Now they have deducted $79.99 from my account and after being on hold for over an hour, I find out that that is not refundable. I wish I had read these complaints before I allowed this to happen.

Do not subscrib to anything called Fastnet Learning. They will not refund you anything. This is a SCAM and I am ashamed to say I have been Scammed.

it sounds like i am just another victim of online fraud from this company! i can't believe with all these complaints they haven't been stopped yet!! i was also charged $79.99 without my authorization and went to my bank to file a dispute form. If you are reading this and are also a victim I would suggest cancelling your card and go to your bank immediately to file a dispute form. this is wrong and these people need to be stopped! Friggin' Idiots!

The company charged $79.99 without my permission and I did not get any email about the charge. It is very deceptive that they don't inform the customer.
