Unauthorized Credit Card Charges
I started receiving charges from Shopper Discounts on my son's college Citi card after he made a purchase online. He did not sign up for this awards program but I began seeing a $12.00 charge each month. After calling and complaining about the charge I was told the membership would end. It was
only after I told the representative that I was going to file a complaint with the BBB that I was told that all charges would be refunded. The representative did not put up much of a fight so I guess they have been told to refund completely when challenged. That pretty much convinces me that this is a scam.

Shopper Discounts Scam
I purchased some electroninc items from BUY.com. They popped up a question asking me for discount offers. Thinking that it would be a notification on the products that are on discount, I responded yes.
It eventually went to another company called SHOPPERS DISCOUNT and they are charging me $12 per month for this subscribtion without my knowledge. It started appearing on mey credit Card Statments. Fortunately I came to know when they charged for the second time . I googled about it and found out about this scam on this website.As others have done before I too called the no. that appeared on my credit card statement and asked them to canel my membership and refund the amount deducted. The agreed to refund the money in 3 days but did not said anything on what will be the means to get this refund.
Has anybody who has posted complaints about the same has got refund from them ?? If now how to get it and whom to approach ?

Scamming bastards!
Assholes tell me that someone in my household signed up for this service. What service? I never received anything. I live alone with my dog, since when do miniature dachshunds steal your credit card and go online? New video coming out "pets gone wild".

unauthorized billing
I was enrolled without my authorization in Shoppers Discounts which has been deducting $10.00 from my credit card for the past six months. I called the phone # listed on my credit card transaction and cancelled my "membership" and was told I would be refunded for the six $10.00 payments in 3-5 business days. The customer service rep told me that I apparently clicked on a coupon for $10 off my next purchase (which I do not recall doing)after making an online purchase @ KBToys in December. He stated that when I clicked on the "coupon" (which I still don't remember doing), I was automatically enrolled in their service for a 30 day free trail. He says because the membership was not cancelled, I began getting billed for the service "as it clearly stated when I clicked on the $10.00 off my next purchase." I just contacted this company today 8/3/08.

Internet scam through easyJet
Bought flight from easyjet in UK who offered me a future discount which I accepted - however what really happened was easyJet sent my credit card details to a discount club. Shopper Discounts then sent junk like email that was filtered by my email system. A couple of months later they billed my credit card £8 and have done so every month to be a member of a club I never wanted to join.

Credit card scam
I’ve been monitoring my daughter’s credit card statements since she left for college last Fall. In February 2008, I found a charge from “Shopper Discounts 800-8898776 CT” for $12 and didn’t think much of it because I thought she had ordered something online. During subsequent three months, I noticed the same charge in every credit card statement but still neglected to ask my daughter about it. I finally asked her in May when she came home for the summer. She had no idea what they were. I contacted her credit card company and was told they couldn’t remove the charges. So I called Shopper Discounts at 800-889-8776. Their representative told me that my daughter signed up for the service when she ordered sandwiches online from Campusfood.com. I asked them to cancel the membership and gave me full refunds which they did. The man on the phone didn’t seem to be surprised at all. It was as though he had received a phone call like mine a million times before. I decided to google Shopper Discounts and found numerous complaints on this company. They went by several variations of names, e.g., WLI RESERVATOINSREWARD 800-732-7031 CT, WLI SHOPPERDISCOUNT 800-889-8776 CT, etc. The scam is always the same. What happens is that after your transaction of purchasing something online, there would a pop-up question: “Would you like to save $10 on the next purchase? or Would you like to receive a $10 coupon?” or something along that line. If you click "yes, " they automatically receive your credit or debit card information from the company you purchase from, and sign you up for the scam. It will become a monthly recurring charge on your credit or debit card. I believe they are still in business because they make it easy for people to cancel the membership and get a full refund so nobody would bother to report it to the BBB.
