scam/fraud
I tried MyLife.com's premium trial membership at a reduced cost for about 3mo . They were unable to find some college buddies I was trying to reconnect with so when the trial period was over I decided to delete my profile and account but was unable to (Sept or Oct 2009). I tried calling them to have it removed and was told the hold time would be 30 min or more (I wasn't going to wait that long). So I emailed them and asked that my profile be deleted and account closed, but I never heard back from them. Then last week I was going over old bank accounts and saw that some company called "SaveAce" was taking out $19.95 every month. Who the hell is SaveAce? I called my bank and discovered that MyLife.com is affiliated with them. I tried calling the number for SaveAce and got a recording saying this number is no longer in service. I did finally reach SaveAce via the phone and they claim I signed up for their 7 day free trial through MyLife. REALLY???? And since I didn't cancel after the 7 days, that automatically authorized them to remove $19.95 from my account every month for my membersip. Did I unknowingly click onto something on MyLife or how did this happen? Or are they a part of some scam or set up? I never received any confirmation from either MyLife or SaveAce about any such free trial or membership. And I did not authorized MyLife to give SaveAce my personal information, especially my banking info. I never received any welcome package from SaveAce or a membership number. And after a computer search I've discovered that thousands of people have been a victim of this scam. I think the FBI needs to get involved. Or a story on 60 min. should be done to alert people. I had to cancel my ATM card and file a fraud complaint with my bank.
