Credit card fraud
On 7/29/09 I ordered a kit to post websites to Google for extra money. The add said it was supported by Newsweek magazine and the ad was from a couple who lost their jobs and ending up making this a career. The company is FunWebProfits.com. They have since changed their name to NetCadetPro (to avoid prosecution, I am sure).
It was $1.97 shipping and handling to receive the information, so I thought "why not". I put in my credit card number in. There was nothing on the add indicating anything about future credit card charges. I thought it would take 6-8 weeks to arrive because that is normal when you are ordering information. I went away on vacation and didn't think about it. I never received anything from this company! When I returned from vacation, I needed to check my credit card statement for an unrelated matter and was appalled to learn that the company had charged my credit card for $69.97 and $29.95. Another company charged my credit card for $24.95. I immediately called my credit card issuer, Chase Bank, reported the fraud and had the card cancelled and a new one sent out. I received fraud paperwork from Chase which I filled out and sent in. I was honest about authorizing the $1.97 initial transaction.
Chase called me and said that because I authorized the first charge, the transactions were valid because they did not fit the legal definition of fraud (someone using your card who NEVER had authorization). Not only were the two fraudulent charges on my account, Chase authorized another one in September (on the NEW ACCOUNT) for $69.97. They call it "prior consent". The only piece of good news I received was that the other company that they gave my number to agreed to a refund and they credited my account immediately. I begged Chase for help with the rest. They told me I had to call and cancel even though the transactions were unauthorized. I did that. My call went to a call center in India who would only agree to refund two of the three fraudulent charges. He said I would need to speak to his supervisor to get the credits authorized. After holding to loud music for 15 minutes, they hung up on me. Chase then told me I needed to file disputes against this company. I did that and they found in my favor pending no other information from the merchant.
This company is PURE FRAUD. Do not do business with anything to do with making money that is advertised on the internet. All they will do is try to steal your money.
Also, be very careful shopping on the internet. If you aren't familiar with the company, then don't do business with them!!!
This took about 6 hours of my time and countless phone calls to resolve. Even Chase Bank sends their dispute calls to a call center!! You never speak to the same person twice!! We live in the United States of America - supposed to be the richest country in the world - and yet people are allowed to steal our money unless we jump through hoops. It is a DISGRACE.

AUTHORIZED CHARGES TO CC
This company charged my credit card in two installments - one for $29.95 and another for $69.97 for services I never asked for or authorized be charged to my credit card. I do think that they are stealing credit card numbers. When I saw the charge on my credit card - I called my bank and they gave me the information to call them. I called Fun Web Profits and they said they were "sorry" and said I would no longer be charged. I told them I wanted a refund of the over $90 that was charged to my card. They then gave me some bogus number to call - the "call resolution" number they called it 877-847-4005. There is no answer and I have been unable to get through at all.
I have contacted the Seminole Mayor's Office - since I was unable to find a police department in Seminole. I see from various complaint websites that this company is running a real scam on people and something needs to be done.

Money Taken From My Account
I really should have known better. I saw an ad on Facebook about a fellow who made money from home by working for Google and his interview was on ABC News. I filled out the form and paid the $1.97 (I thought, oh, it's just a small amount, it's okay). I got an email from "Alternative Funding" who said that after 14 trial days I would be charged 29.95 a month to continue membership. I could deal with that to access the site to work from home. No big deal. But then I checked my bank account and saw 69.95 taken out from a company called "Fun Web Profits". Who? I had no idea who these people were. I called Alternative Funding and found out that they called themselves a "companion company", meaning that they just help you sign up for Fun Web's info - and they expect you to pay them $30.00 a month, something like a referral fee for that! FunWeb doubles that and you don't get what you requested to start your work-at-home stuff with.
I have to say that I was persistent enough with Alternative Funding to get my account cancelled and to get FunWeb's phone number. I called FunWeb and told the customer service rep that I wanted to cancel my account and have my money refunded. I expected to be rebuked, but she was strangely nice about it. "Joy" told me (at first) that I would receive my money back into my bank account within 7-14 business days and that my account with FunWeb was being closed per my request. HERE'S THE CLINCHER: I asked her for their ADDRESS TO CONFIRM THAT MY ACCOUNT WAS CLOSED AND MY MONEY WAS IN FACT BEING RETURNED. She tried to rush me off the phone, but I repeated myself loudly and she gave me the physical address - yay! This way I can send a Certified Mail card to prove their receipt! Before I got off of the phone with her, I had her verify that she said the account was cancelled and that it would take 7-14 days to return my money - but she corrected herself and said 5-10. Much better, but I'm STILL mailing that letter!
