its not a scam if you read everything you dumb ass... next time try reading the terms and conditions before you put for [***] card number out there. this is all you own guys fault for not researching something before you sing up for it.... use your heads [***]....

I would agree with you but the way you put it out is very wrong!!!!   When the company is stealing email addresses and signing them up not much you can do about that!!!!  Also in a perfect world even in your world we all would not make a mistake.  And we would not have to worry about scamers.  How ever this is not that world!!!  Thank of how you would fell if it was done to you!!!  

Thank you and keep your chin up :)

Yes, someone signed up for this company under my name and accnt and this company refuses to give me back any money.. then after 40 mins of screaming at the mna they only agreed to give me bk $70.00!! WTF!!! YOU TOOK $139.95 OUT OF MY ACCOUNT!!!! I WANT IT ALL BACK!!! And to top it off they will not give me there address or zip code so that I can turn there punk ass in!!! I am so upset and feel so vilotaed at this point!!!

I called this number 800-396-4039 and spoke with someone in the "want to be customer servie department" It took me awhile to get through but I finally did and after fighting with the guy for alittle bit the closed my account and refund back some of my money that they took out of my accoun that I didnt not authr... So I would give this number a shot!! Good luck.. And see if you can find and address for them they refuse to give me one so I could turn there [***] in!!! they would only give me a fax number of 310-861-0206

I am going through this right now as well.  I called and tried to get my money back...they said that the most they could give me was $40.00.  I said - if I go to target and buy something, and it turns out that I don't like it, I can return it.  If I go and get my hair done, and I don't like it, they will fix it.  So, I just filed a complaint with the FBI (internet crimes)....and I have the info for the BBB, and will be filing as many formal complaints as possible.  My biggest concern is that the supposed $2.97 initial fee, ended up being $5.00.  It was charged over 6 different transactions within seconds of each other:  1.97, .02 (international), 1.00, 1.00, .01 (international) and 1.00.  

Anyone else have this happen?  Also - they gave me a fax number for complaints: 310-861-0206...no answer when I faxed my letter, imagine that.

so i called this number got hung up on twice because i kept saying that its BULLSH** how they set this whole thing up..i signed up because it only said 0.99 then they charged me an extra 29.95 for VIP. When i said i didnʻt have a choice and that it didnʻt say it was an extra 29.95 you know what this F****ER told me.. that it pops up on a different window .... NOTHING EFFEN POPPED UP!!!!  they said i could have accepted or declined..but on the page where i was at..it ony said VIP proceed..... i asked to talk to a supervisor who so called "WASNʻT AVAILABLE".. i spoke to SOPHIE and ARIEL and a guy.. forgot his name... but i couldnʻt get any refunds.. canceled my bank card no pending charges of 149.95. But im still pissed about the 29.95.... thank goodness there wasnʻt a charge of 149.95 cause i seriously woulda lit a fire under someones ass.... !!!! NO ADDY NO NOTHING... !!! SPAM ALL THE WAY! Good luck to you all who got charged.. its [***]!!!!

you must be a part of their company if you want to talk like that sir.! Because.. when i read the T&C thats when i canceled.. but everyone else who did it too still got charged.. and another thing.. who THE F**K sets it up to where the things your being charged for is in another pop up window.. if that were the case it shouldʻve popped up over the window that i was on that way i wouldnʻt proceed w/ anything.. BUT IT DIDNʻT!!! .. And to top it all off, they have BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE... i couldnʻt talk to a supervisor.. 3x that i called.. NO SUPERVISOR! Iʻve been given false information twice.. one was that my charged wouldnʻt got through not even the 0.99 and that the charge of 29.95 came up in a pop window which is has not!!!! So "S" tell your dumb a** company that what theyʻre doing to others is ALL BULLSH**!!!!

I signed up for this before I read all the SCAM alerts. I've taken the advice from your post and I canceled my card. Will this help keep them from taking the money out of my account? PLEASE HELP?

NMYERS,
If I called my bank and canceled my account do you think that they will be able to still take money out of it, or will this help prevent them from charging me for an OBSCENE amount? PLEASE HELP!

So if I canceled my card I shouldn't be charged right? I'm hoping that's the case! PLEASE HELP!

Wow! I have never done anything that was so stupid, I signed up with DCA and researched them after the fact.  I know now that they're a big scam!! But listen all, I was lucky enough to call back one day later and have my account closed.  I was told by 'Victoria' that there is a 5 day trial period where I could cancel...yippeeee!! (she tried telling me future charges was disclosed in some fine print right next to the sign up box but I didn't see it)  My account is now closed, she gave me a confirmation number and I should be receiving an email shortly.  Well I'm not holding my breath on that and will also contact my financial institution to be sure no other charges are applied to my account.  Had I not read the many posts online I would have been charged $68.71 monthly!!  I didn't ask for how long, I don't care at this point as I'm safe (I think).  If you need a real number for customer support it's 800-381-1681.  I wish you all the best of luck if you're trying to get this MESS taken care of after the 5 day trial.

myself applied for the direct commerce academy last week. I was smart enough to read the small print though. I knew what charges were coming but I decided to apply the and put some time into it. Its taking me a little bit of time but im learning and I did make 75$ earlier today. I also got a phone call from their Success and Development division and they offer another program that allows you to work 1 on 1 with a coach that will help you with building an online business, They do ask for about a minimum of a $5000 investment into tools and training. I didnt have that kind of money to spend but then they told me that they offer in house financing. They said I only had to pay $2000 and they would finance the rest. I have and Appointment to talk with them next week. I was curious about these so called "Scams" but it looks to me like you people are honestly getting caught up in your OWN mistakes and blaming this company because YOU did not read the terms and conditions. I mean if you honestly think that you only pay $2.95 and expect to make a 1000 % profit you probably are not smart enough to be succesful anyways. It is working for me and I feel like if I put in a little more time eventually I can make some money. Maybe not in the Thousands of dollars but its still to soon to tell. Yes I paid all those same charges as everyone else $2.95 here, $139 there and then my monthly fee. But like I said I did make $75 in one day so that means its over 50% paidoff already. I could pay off the investment I made later this week and then everything after that is just pure income. Its a process people!! I personally dont feel there is anything wrong with the Direct Commerce Academy, The only issue I see is people wanting to make money without having to actually work or earn it. Glad to to know my tax dollars are still supporting jobless, freeloaders that cant accept responsability for themselves.

I just signed up with DCA this morning and then got on the net and saw all these scam reports! I called their number and cancelled my account! I'm supposed to get an e-mail confirming that too. Hope the hell it works!!!

Sean, Have you seen the $75.00 yet or is that just what you have been told you have earned? Yes this, like the other things presented by Dr. Jay Schrader is a scam. And 'only' $2000.00 down payment for one on one coaching. figure out how many hours this will entail and divide that into  $2000 or actually $5000 if you go through with the whole contract. P.T Barnum said it a long time ago..."There is a sucker born every minute." Welcome to the real world when you wake up.

I went online to the Better Business Bureau website and filed a complaint against DCABIZ.com (Direct Commerce Academy).  The following is the address from the BBB:

DCABIZ.com
510 Timpanogos Pkwy
Orem, UT 84097-6212

I closed my account with a man named Morgan (800-396-4039).  The same man called himself Logan at a previous phone call that I placed 10 minutes earlier when I unsucessfully tried to get a refund.  I also filed a claim with my bank and will now file a complaint with the FTC.

Good luck.

I am with you lala!!

They should not be able to say you only have to pay $2.95 for some information about the company a thousand times over and then hide elsewhere that they will charge huge fees later. IT IS DISHONEST!!

They just called me, but from this number : 888-246-9145...the woman claimed that I signed up for info online, which I DID NOT.  She called me on a cell that no one other than family has.

apparently dca is connected to a telemarketing co called ROI solutions   Robert Schow...president, Josh Brady CEO. 2519 Connon Rd., Pleasant Grove, UT. 84062  This info came from another person at a site called  complaints.com  As for me I,m also a victum lost 2.97+29.99+86.71 before I closed my bank acc.
