Visa Tackles Scam Practices -
(Wednesday, April 28, 2010)
Visa, one of the world's largest credit card companies, is taking aim at "scam" marketing practices that were quietly used by some of the Internet's largest retailers in recent years.

Retailers will no longer be able to allow third parties to charge a customer's card without the card owner re-entering credit card information, Visa said Tuesday. This is Visa's response to one of the biggest scandals to rock online retailing in years.

Last year, the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation launched an investigation after learning that thousands of consumers had complained about receiving mysterious credit card charges.

The committee concluded that millions of consumers were misled into signing up for so-called loyalty programs with the help of companies such as as Classmates.com, Continental Airlines, Priceline, Orbitz, Buy.com, and many others. Lawmakers said during hearings that these merchants had made an unholy but profitable alliance with one or more of three so-called post-transaction marketing firms: Webloyalty, Affinion, and Vertrue.

Under most of the agreements between the marketing firms and retailers, an advertising page is presented to shoppers while they complete a transaction at the retailer's online store. Many shoppers say they entered their e-mail address and pushed a large "Yes" button on the ad because it appeared to be a $10 cash-back offer or coupon. Many of those who complained say they thought they were being rewarded by the retailer for making a purchase.

Buried in the fine print are the full terms of the deal. Customers are notified that by providing their e-mail address they are joining a membership program and agreeing to pay one of the marketing firms a monthly fee, typically between $10 and $20. Many people said they didn't see this notice.

Visa's new requirement is designed to send a "clear signal to cardholders that a second purchase is being initiated and protects them from questionable marketing practices," the company said.
With the government leaning on them, many of the merchants involved have severed ties with the post-transaction marketers, which have also taken steps to alter their business practices. They haven't gone far enough, however, critics have said.

February 11, 2009
Makers of dietary supplements that lured consumers on the Internet with allegedly deceptive weight-loss claims and bogus "free" sample offers, and then debited their bank accounts or charged their credit cards for continuing shipments without their consent, have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they violated federal law.

In one FTC law enforcement action, the defendants claimed their products — LeanLife PM, Burn Fat 2, Hoodia 66, Hoodia Thin, HoodiaGordonii, and RxZyte — would help consumers lose weight or improve male sexual function.

To get a "free" sample, consumers provided their account number to pay a shipping and handling fee, unaware that they would be enrolled in a "negative option" continuity program and billed about $100 every few months for recurring shipments of the products unless they cancelled.

In the other case, consumers who ordered a "free" sample of Woman's UltraSlim were asked to provide their credit or debit card account number to pay a shipping and handling fee, unaware that they would be enrolled in a continuity program and charged a monthly fee of almost $30 until they cancelled their enrollment.

All were charged with the following violations of the FTC Act:

• Making false or unsubstantiated weight-loss and related claims;

• Failing to disclose adequately that consumers who order a "free" sample are enrolled in a continuity program, that their accounts will be debited or charged to pay for the program, that they must cancel to avoid extra shipments and debits and charges, and how and when they must cancel to avoid the debits or charges;

• Debiting or charging accounts of consumers who cancelled or tried to cancel, or those who were not adequately informed of the negative option features or terms and conditions, and therefore did not provide express informed consent for the debits or charges.

They also were charged with violating the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E by debiting consumers' accounts on a recurring basis without obtaining the required written authorization.

Under the settlements, regarding the marketing of any dietary supplement, food, drug, device, or health-related program or service, or of any product or service by means of a negative option feature, the defendants are barred from misrepresentations, including that a product or service is "free" or without obligation if a charge will be assessed unless the consumer cancels.

Other prohibited misrepresentations include the amount that will be charged, that a consumer will not be charged, the timing or manner of any charge, the length of any trial period before a charge will be made, and that a consumer has authorized a purchase.

The settlement with marketers JAB Ventures, LLC and Jason Brailow imposes a $7,803,425 judgment, all but $610,000 of which is suspended based on their inability to pay.

The settlement with Woman's UltraSlim marketers Complete Weightloss Center, Inc., Terry Guthmiller, and David Guthmiller imposes a $2,532,014 judgment, all but $3,000 of which is suspended due to their inability to pay.

In each case, the full judgment will be imposed if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition

I did no trial offers, I am well aware of this type of scam and would not fall for it.

I too am a victim of this obvious fraud.  I spoke to one of their reps a few weeks back with my CC company on the line.  They said they would refund my money.  Never happened.  I just filed my complaint with the BBB.  Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

FYI - Do a "street view" of the address in Tempe.  It's an empty lot!!!  This place doesn't even exist.  What a scam!

this  is a fraud scam  bank of america has  had  serveral reports on it  it is also worth going to the FBI  fraud web sight IC3 and placing a complaint  there  after serveral calls  the person on the phone says there  located in  tampa  fl  dont quite belive them but.

Right, "you will see a refund in 10-15 days" it has been over 30 and still no credit.
FRAUD- Have notified the authorities but these people hide behind the anonimity of multiple companies.

I too had the 38.99 VISA charge back in early July.  I called after reading here and got the same responses. The guy I talked too was OK and apologized a few times.  Could not tell me what charge was for  etc.  I gave my name and then had him tell me the associated email address which was one of my real emails....so I was on file with them - not just a random VISA billing.  

I asked him to "cancel" the charge ---- which he did...  but then I had to ask a second time specifically to reverse the current charge which he agreed to do also.  Note he would not have done that if I did not specifically ask --- which I almost missed.  

The email address was interesting as it is one I use for only a few online VISA purchases.   It was either a) my "palm wallet" purchase last Christmas (ya got sucker by the TV ad)  or an online video service.  I suspect I inadvertently sign up for something on the palm wallet purchase.

Will report back if the charge does get reversed i next week  ---    then will cancel card either way..  but want to see if the reverse occurs.

A charge from this number mysteriously appeared on my CC. My CC company reversed the charge and is investigating.

Those of you who are calling this number and giving them even more of your personal information are making a big mistake.

Here in Germany I found out that the transaktion they made from my credit card was illegal.
However they got my data´s the transaction was not authorized. So I will make a criminal complaint, and hope all of you got the same possibility in the USA.
