I bought a medecine to lose weight. They said it was an offer for 2€95.
When I received it six or seven days later, I discoverd that my bank account has been charged for 67 €.
The name of the compagny is Nutrigenic Life LLC, Miami, FL 33160

Toshiba is a product NO ONE should ever buy. I bought a laptop and paid over 4300 for warranty. Each time i call them they keep transferring me to other depts, You are on hold forever. Today it is now close to 3 hours, yes I said 3 hours. Have spoken to 10 popel and am still on hold as i type this.

On 11/12/08 I ordered Teeth Whitener from an outfit called IONLINE.COM. After 30 days I notified IONLINE.COM with their online complaint form and it was sent UPS 4 days later. Unfortunately alongwith the product IONLINE.COM informed me that I would become a member of an exclusive VIP program that would subtract 49.95 from my credit card automatically every 2-3 months. Additionally 9 days later another charge was noted on my credit card statement for 16.95 from a PRIME TIME marketing group out of FL. who claimed they were working for an Pennysaver Coupon out out of Ca. and that my credit card would be charged the 16.95 a month as agreed. Of course none of these above charges were authorized and consequently removed from my credit card charges. The bottom line is that apparently these bogus startups such as IONLINE.COM and PRIME TIME are scamming the general public by exchanging credit card numbers between one another until the consumer catches up. These innovative hackers need to be stopped. Contact the Attorneys General Office in your respective states to put a stop to this nonsense. I know I am!

The buyer is not AT ALL protected by PayPal. I received a notice late Friday afternoon (of course) stating my account was frozen because of "unusual activity" associated with my bank account linked to PayPal. (Funny, my bank has never considered any of my activities unusual, and PayPal wastes NO time in instantly ACH-ing (transferring) the money from my bank account into PayPal. They then went back 19 transactions for which they already cleared to the seller and put temporary holds on them. This pisses off sellers and keeps the money PayPal sucked out of my account "in limbo". They then asked for even more identification than any bank or government agency has on file: They now have copies of my passport (U.S. Citizen residing in the U.S.), my Driver's license, social security card, bank statement for account linked to PayPal and phone statement (for phone # associated with my PayPal account) - how disconcerting is that! All the while telling me they're doing it "for my protection" and telling sellers (who forwarded the communications to me, they were trying to help the sellers avoid "problematic transactions". The most unthinkable part of it all is, after PayPal had the money, cleared it to the sellers, then 2 days later "uncleared it" for a hold while they investigated all of these transactions, is that they froze the account, sent emails to my sellers and only then, after the fact, informed me via an email. (And this is a confirmed, verified, bank linked and credit card linked PayPal account!) Now, any normal institution would contact the consumer and say, "hey, we're concerned, is it really you making all of these purchases?" (But PayPal, according to many sellers I've communicated with, are telling me this is happening more and more all the time. So, in no way am I, a buyer, protected. I've been screwed by PayPal, who has my money, isn't releasing payment to the sellers, and I have no idea if I'll ever get the merchandise I paid for or my money back. (Again, you'd think it would be my bank or credit card company that would decide what is "unusual activity. Not PayPal.) No surprise they've had class action lawsuits against them and are facing scores of complaints made against them to various agencies all over the world! (No, the buyer is NOT protected. Sorry.)
