MY BANK NOTIFIED ME BY EMAIL,ASKING IF I MADE THIS $78.08 PURCHASE. I TOLD THEM NOOOOOOOOOO. THEY CANCELLED MY CARD ON THE SPOT AND SAID ,THEY WOULD BE INVESTIGATING THE MATTER. THANK YOU CHASE BANK FOR LOOKING FOR FRAUDULANT(SPELLING) PURCHASES. MY HUSBAND WILL BE CALLING THEM ON MONDAY. ITS FUNNY HOW THIS IS ALL HAPPENING ON A FRI AND CANT GET A HOLD OF THEM TIL MON.

I applied for member ship to recieve the books. I submited one request, by they charged me 6 times. I'm unable to cancel membership using the Internet site.
Thanks.

I Googled the phone number, ended up here, and called my bank directly.  They say that, though the phone number showed up on their transaction record, it showed up as a transaction at an un-named "sporting goods" store.  Their recommendation was, which I am doing, file a fraud claim through your bank, cancel your debit/credit card and replace it.  More than likely your information has been hacked from electronic records of a card transaction you've made, somewhere.  More than likely as the result of having electronic automatic billing/debiting transactions against your card.  They further suggest using a separate (and dedicated) card number and account to which you transfer funds for all electronic transactions, as opposed to having them bill directly against your main bank/card account.

The same thing just happened to me. I am in shock!
Thanks for sharing.
I am going to do as you did.

I got a charge on my credit card for 73.92 from Bmc. I called them today and spoke to Mary and I was asking why I was charged this amount she said have a good day. So she didn't care she and the company stole from me and she hangs up. So The attorney general of Texas will be contacted today he doesn't put up with company's like this! I will have to wait 30 day's for the credit company to take it off. WATCH OUT FOR BMC CHILDRENS BOOK CLUB! (717) 918-2665

Received a letter yesterday from Science Fiction Book Club- which we never signed up for! I called the number 717-918-2665 and asked them about this charge. They said we signed up over the internet April1, 2010 and that we made a payment of $18.70. I asked them to tell me the email address that was used to sign up with over the internet, and the guys says he cant give me that information- he  can only VERIFY the email! ODD to say the very least! They can't even tell me when the supposed payment of $18.70 was made! We will be disputing this crap for sure!!! Say it with me......FRADULENT ACTIVITY!!!!!!!

They hit me, too!  Last night at 8:15 p.m. (that's 9:15 p.m. their time since they are in PA) my account was hit for $97.00!  I was washing dishes - I wasn't shopping for books!  And I knew exactly when it happened because I have smart alerts - that's a text message sent to my cell phone any time money moves into or out of my bank account.  The nerve of these jerks!  What kind of book club charges $97?!!  Then I'm on hold for over 20 minutes first thing this morning and they actually got on the phone!  They're trying to tell me that I owe this from joining their club back in 2009!!  I've not received anything from them - no notifications or anything!  Supposedly there was some mystical email in July - which I've never seen.  I don't remember signing up for their club, but if I did, how can they expect their customers to buy anything if we don't have any contact info for them!  2 years and all I get is a damned email?!!  I reported my card stolen right away, and I've already called my bank and told them it is a fraudulent charge.  I should get the  money back within a week.

the same thing happened to me, i received two packages one from Quality baper back and one from the good cook, both had the same mailing address,my CC was charged had to dispute it,when i called the CS number the lady stammered when i questioned as to why there was no email listed and and what confirmation did you receive. very shady. i hope this gets resolved.

Same thing happened to me today!!! I'm calling now actually and they're putting me on hold for an extremely long time! They just got me for 50 bucks this morning and I'm pissed I hope i get my money back.

Got a charge of 22.69 from BMC quality paperback llc and it had that number attached. The only thing that might have happened different to me is that my truck got broken into a week ago. I no I shouldnt have but I left some bank statements in there. There was some other charges to other places, that was not by me. Canceled card, getting new one.

They got into my bank account and stole 87.00 from it.  When called they asked for my club account number.  "I don't have an account!"  So then they asked for my Ccard number!!!!!!!!!  Ummm NO!!!  
Filed a fraud claim with my bank and was given the money back.  Paypal and Amazon.com are the only places online that I use my card...

please stop stealing money from my account as i have met my number of books to be bought,   You took two $45 payment in three days.   You need to reimburse me ASAP.  My bank is aware of these charges and I inte4nd to prosecute if this continues.

The most ironic thing is that Huntington just changed over to a new Mastercard Debit (this was a Visa) which I activated and cut up the old card which was supposed to be deactivated.  When I called the bank, they said that the old card is active for 4 days after the new one is activated to process any pending charges.  These people got me 2 days before the card was fully deactivated.

I had over $50 of charges this morning from this company.
I filed a claim at my bank but also sent a complaint into the Attorney General.

Get with the bank for sure.  I got hit for $80.08 on August 2 of this year by BOMC.  I called them right then and the rep I spoke to stated it was for books I got back in 2009 from an old address I hadn't lived at for years and had never purchased books from them when I did live there.  

Unfortunately, I had gotten an account with QPB (part of BOMC) back in 2010 for a series of books my husband wanted and 4 books for $.99 plus shipping was a good deal to get them.  I then promptly paid off the account by purchasing 3 more books at regular price ($10 each) to fulfill my commitment 2 months later in November 2010 when they were running a free shipping promotion which turned out very well with what I paid for 7 books.  I then canceled the account.

They hit me 9 months later for a bogus BOMC account.  It took 3 months to permanently resolve my claim, but BOA gave me a temporary credit on August 4 as well as canceled my debit card and reissued a new one.  I then filled out a claim form the bank mailed and sent it back.  Today, I received a letter from the claims department stating that they had sided with me and that the temporary credit was now a permanent one.  

I learned a valuable lesson though.  Watch who you give your debit card to online.  I only use PayPal and Amazon now.  Anything else that cannot be purchased through Amazon or a merchant that uses PayPal, I do without or write a check for it.  That is not happening to me again!  

It's too bad you can't press charges for "stealing".  In essence, that is what BOMC does.  It's scary to come to these sites and see how many people have gone through what I did - 3 months of worrying if you will have to pay $80.08 for something you never received.

they just took 30.00 from my account and the money in it wasn't even mine was booking hotel for friend this coming weekend and i can't replace it cause i don't work i am sooooo f'n pissed right now
. did you get your money back and how long did it take?

MY DAUGHTER VISA GIFT CARD WAS CHARGED 34.17 FROM BMC* CHILDRENS BOOK CLUB.
MY DAUGHTER DIDNT ORDER ANY BOOKS.  WE HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN ON THERE WEB SITE. DO THEY EVEN HAVE ONE? WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY BOOKS. I THINK THAT THEY GOT HER NUMBER WHEN SHE TRIED TO SET UP A PAY PAL ACCOUNT. I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO PROSECUTE THEM. STEALING FROM ANYONE IS WRONG. BUT STILLING FROM A CHILD IS UNFORGIVEABLE!

if you insert that link to discoverychannelbookclub.com that you have posted, it takes you straight to a hard core porno site.   It still does not explain how they get all this personal info.

I looked up the number attached to a transaction made to my account on whitepages.com. I got 17 results for the same number with the same mailing address in mechanicsburg, PA. 17 different company names for one phone number and one address. Report fraud and get all of your bank information changed. They have charged my account more than once even when we have reported a problem and got new cards they still managed to charge our account.  EVERYTHING must be changed. I have not received any phone calls or books...just charges to my account more than twice already from TWO of their 17 company names. If you want to check them out via phone number to understand what I am talking about go to www.whitepages.com then 'reverse phone' look up. Then simply put the number in.
