I did not order this. I don't know what it is for or how they got my card number. I have been billed twice.

I have never heard of Shopping Essentials until I found a charge on my account today. I caught the charge before they could get m0re out of my account. The thing is I am not sure how or where I was shopping 0nline that they would be able to get my card information. I haven't shopped at any of the stores that others have mentioned in other posts. I hope this company does get shut down for fraudulant charges.

While checking my online account last night, I found an $11.95 charge to Shopping Essentials, for which I had no record. I noted the fraudulent nature of the charge as I was otherwise engaged at the time of the charge. A quick search yielded results, detailing numerous infractions this company committed.

After reading of similar scenarios, I reported the charge to my bank, stopped payment and had the bank issue a new card. Then, I notified Shopping Essentials of the error and requested the charge be removed.

I hope others find this report helpful and have equal success in recovering their money.

Shopping Essentials obtained my credit card info and signed me up for a membership without my permission in Nov. 2008. I first noticed a charge for $11.95 in Dec. 2008. I disputed the charge with my credit card company and they credited my account. I received another charge in Jan. 2009 I just called the number that was shown on my credit card statement and talked with an automated system to cancel my membership. I was never contacted by them for permission to obtain my credit card info, and was never provided a membership number that is needed to login to their website (www.shoppingessentialsplus.com).

This is outrageous. I'm thankful it didn't go on very long for me and that so far I'm not out any money. It's frustrating that so many people have had this happen and nothing has been done.

I noticed $19.95 being automatically withdrawn from my checking account. They somehow got my Credit card number in the process of me signing up for Runion.com. I did not know what these charges were for. When I called and talked to a representative they said they would credit the charges. The representative I spoke to told me I clicked on something that said 7 day free trial...then the Charges started appearing on my bank statement for December 2008 and Jan 2009. They take it out at the beginning week so you are unaware unless you check your bank regularly, until you get a statement. I had no clue what this company is.

The representative I spoke to proceeded to get more personal information from me... they did not know my email and I refused to give them my address when they tried to drag it out of me. I said 'You are charging my account and you don't even know my physical address or my name? Now, unfortunately they found out my name and some other things for their file. I need to call my bank right now and notify them.

I have no recollection of signing up for any 7 day free trial. How were they able t access my credit information is beyond me!
