I too noticed a unauthorized charge but did not catch it because I have another deduction that is valid on my account for a bill.
However, I told them to reimburse me ASAP for the entire amount they scammed me out of $167.86!!!
They gave me a CXL ref number but who knows? I was enrolled by Personal Creations!
I feel sorry for all of you that have been scammed
Good luck and hopefully we wil all be reimbursed

who the hell are these people! something needs to be done about this.

I wrote some posts about this company here: https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-800-634-7500

Basically, a "friend" signed me up for a free sample of Total Cleanse pills as a joke, and I got charged twice for $1 and twice for $19.95 ($41.90 total) for two subscriptions to "Simply Mine" (some kind of shopping discount service) and one for a "My Advisor" (some kind of legal advice service).

I called the phone number listed on one of the charges and within a couple days I got a refund for all charges on my credit card. They also confirmed that the charges were the result of signing up for the Total Cleanse free sample (they also mentioned they do this with the Acai Berry product sample, Acai-aSlim).

I still filed a complaint with the BBB and said the company did NOT resolve my complaint to my satisfaction.  They charged me without my permission for services I never heard of or ever wanted, and they would have continued to charge me if I hadn't called. I've also received at least ten times more junk email and junk postal mail from suspicious companies which started happening at the exact same time these charges appeared on my credit card, which can't be a coincidence. All of this certainly qualifies as a scam in my book.

I did business some time ago with Folica and UMG has been taking $14.95 out of my credit card account for 4 months now.  We just discovered the problem.  Another person said Domestications (with whom I've also done business) has been named as a way they got the credit card info.  If I can find out exactly which company gave away my credit card info and allowed this automatic payment to be deducted, I will have an issue with them, too.  Thanks to all who have posted on this site.

got lucky.......credit card had expired and could not be charged....will NEVER order from personal creations again

Found an unauthorized charge of $14.95 on my credit card, then went back and see that they had done this for the past three months so called them to see who the ---- they were and they told me I had joined a membership and I said NO, I didn't and instructed them that I had just hung up from my credit card company and that they were investigating them - he stuttered a bit and said that he would refund the funds immediately - AND THEY DID!!! Talked to them Friday and got the refund TODAY!!   I think the quickness might be because I told them that my credit card company was "investigating them", made him move a little quicker.  Try it, it works!!!!!!!

Just call them and tell them that your credit card company is investigating them and it make them move with lightening speed.  From Friday until today, Monday, got a complete refund back on my credit card.  Good Luck

Yeah I got scammed from this company too, They do it small increments so it doesnt really pop out at you and mixes in with all your monthly bills. They said they would refund half, but I contacted my attorney general and I want it all. Thats like someone stealing from me, me catching them and then them saying I'll give you half back of what wasnt rightfully theres anyway. This company said that my wife "signed up" for it, I want to see this documentation. My wife ordered some carpet squares from the skymall.com magazine you see on planes, watch out for them too, there dirty. She ordered over the PHONE too, which is odd to me. This company is not going to get away with this. I would urge all of you to contact you AG like I did, especially if you live in Illinois to get to bottom of this as well as BBB.

UMG Services debited %19.95 from my account but they are not the only ones. Ever since my husband ordered a book called "Natural Cures" over the phone we have had 9 unauthorized charges debited from our account. All from different people. This has got to be stopped!!!!!

I was looking on my bank statement to see what I had left in the bank and saw this charge of $14.95. The detailing on the bill gave a 1-800 number which I didn't reconize. So i decided to Google it and I found this forum. Reading i decovered I'm not the only one with this same charge. i haven't ordered anything online and I haven't signed up for a membership. The charge is still pending. Unfortunely the way my bank works I'll have to wait til the charge goes through before I can call to dispute. But I'm thinking of call the 1-800 number first.

When Calling the 7500 number Please be sure you enter it right on the dial. I am getting many calls to my number at my business which are wrong and it gets very frustrating.

found a charge for $14.97 on my credit card, no name, just this phone number.  Called to find out what, said Buyer's Edge, which I did not order.  I asked to have it cancelled and my money refunded, the girl (who never gave me her name) started into her telemarketer speech.  I interrupted several times before she finally decided to give up.  Said the money would be refunded in 1 to 2 billing cycles, to which I said there was no reason they needed to keep my money for another 60 days, I want it now.  She said it should be refunded in 3 to 7 business days.  We will see.

Found 4 charges on my CC bill for $14.95 each month starting in Dec 08.
Have NO idea who they are or what this is for ... Phone number on my CC bill is 800-634-7500 IL(linois).  Their hours are 7AM - 7PM CST. Guess I'll be making some calls in the morning ...
All the statement says is UMG*SIMPMINE8006347500 800-634-7500 IL.

We had a un-authorized transaction. I called the bank and they instructed me how to file a dispute. First call UMG (I put the contact info below), and take notes of the conversation. Demand refund and cancelization immediately. Get a confirmation number of the cancelization. Give them 1 or 2 business days to post the refund and keep a close eye on your statement for the coming months!! If they do not do what they said. Then file a dispute with your card company using all the notes. Most places will have your refund in 2 business days and they will issue a new card.

Also, UMG gets your information usually from a magazine order like for clothes. I would recommend asking then who authorized this information and where did they get your card number? Then call the company that provided the info and file a complaint.

I too was scamed!! To the tune of $14.95 coming out of my account every month for a year and didn't notice it until I had an over draft again yesterday.I questioned this $14.95 from the bank and got this Umg*simpmine number.When I called they told me I had joined a membership also.It was a 30day trial she said.I told her I never autherized any money to be drawn from my account by ANYONE but my life insurance each month!When I said I wanted this so called paper I filled out and signed mailed to me,she asked for my address,( I reluctantly) gave her and she asked me to hold on,it seemed forever until this woman got on the phone to tell me the same story and that it was cancelled! I said when ,she said when I spoke with Maria,I said what ,30 seconds ago!!She said the money would be placed back to my account for the last payment, I said what about the last year not to mention overdrafts?No answer for that.!!! I'm on my way to the bank!

I too found a charge of 11.99 on my credit card. I called them and she was insisted that I had joined something. After some arguing I stated I was going to call the BBB, she said she would give a full refund of the charges.

I noticed this "authorized debit" on my statement 2 days ago and called the company right away. It took me 3 calls to get through to them that this was an un-authorized debit, if I did not get my momey returned I would call my AG and file against them for fraud. I have not ordered anything on the internet with this card in months. Last thing I ordered online was through ticketmaster with a completely different card. Only thing this one is used for is bill pay. I have no idea how they got my information, but they knew my address and everything. They said it was a 3rd party thing and they only had the last 4 numbers on my account. The first time I called it was "Buyers Edge" second time it was something else,a nd the third time it was "card services." Supposidly my money will be credited back to my account within 2 business days. Im still going to my bank tomorrow to file a dispute against this company and make sure there is nothing put on my account without my say so again. Its a good thing I caught this the first time its happened. I check my account at least 3-4 times a week.

Just got this problem too!!!  Order two books from a website and then I was just looking at by online banking and have two $1.00 charges with this phone number by it.  When I looked it up and called, she tried telling me I signed up for two memberships and this was the first month's fees.  I told her I didn't sign up for anything and when she tried the sales speal, I told her I didn't have time, didn't want it, and wanted it gone today.  Supposedly this is taken care of and I have her name and cancellation number, but I am contacting my bank and am cancelling my debit card immediately!!!

I went back into my records.  I started getting these charges based on a purchase I made for SMOOTH AWAY back in April.  It is clearly a scam because I am very internet-savvy and declined any additional purchases/deals etc during the purchasing process, so unless it was in UBER fine print somewhere on their website, I did not willingly agree to any services for UMG.

I called up the place and told them as someone suggested that my bank is investigating this and demanded it be removed from my account. We'll see what happens.

My mom asked me today what UMG simpmine and UMG my advisor call was on my credit card statement. I called the company number that was on my statement and they said that they have been taking two charges of $11.99 out since FEBRUARY, it is now June. They cancelled this months charges and said they would only take the previous months charges off. I asked to speak to a manager and let them know I reported them, (which I didn't, I don't know how to do that) they all of a sudden decided that they could take all the charges off. If this happens to you do what I did then call your bank and let them know. If the credits do not appear on my statement in a week then my bank said we would file a dispute. Also, If anyone knows how to report this company please let me know.
