Unauthorized Charge to debt card, how no idea as to what its for. never even heard of CleverBridge. How do we get money back?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
unable to download and open
Purchased and used TuneUp 2011 for a year until approximately 2 months ago when It could no longer be loaded due to "Tunup Utilities 2011 - en-US.exe is not a valid win 32 application". Today i purchased and attempted to downlod and run TuneUp 2012 (see Cleverbridge reference number [protected], registration key 3HDE3B-FH9Q5D-02QQ4K-X9F7H6-FPMA1R-XYQWYK). Unable to download and run as dowload stops and states following "TuneupUtilities 2012-en-US(1).exe is not a valid win 32 application"., Unless TuneUp can provide necessary upgraded 2012 program capable of loading of the program I will have to request a refund of my payment . Should This problem not be addresed to my satisfaction I shall be constrained to submit a complaint to the Department of Trade and Industry.

I purchased version 2012 in October, my computer crashed and I had to do a full install of OS. I tried to download tune up again but could only find the 2013, and it wouldn't accept my key, bloody waste of money !

rip off
This is actually not a complaint. I have read all the complaints about cleverbridge and I think there is a little misunderstanding here. I found the charges on my credit card also and I researched it online. It seems Cleverbridge is the company your purchase is charged to when you purchase from Companies like
ASHAMPOO
PHOENIX
IPSWITCH
INCENTIVE
PASSWARE
ACRONIS
UNIBLUE
PARAGON
This is just to name a few. There are literally about 200 companies that use Cleverbridge to recieve their payment for products purchased on their website. You purchase the product from Ashampoo etc. the payment shows up on your statement as Cleverbridge.
So no scam involved. Read the fine print when you purchase something and see where the payment is going to and how the charge will appear on your statement.

Latest bbb chicago decision letter... paid for by the business community. very hard to believe that this decison is based on neutrality as ms de courtenay would like one to accept.
Next step... local media! what does everyone else think?
Rg
See below...
Dear mr. grant:
Thank you for contacting the bbb regarding your complaint against cleverbridge, inc. we appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
As you may not be aware, the bbb’s value to the business community is based on our neutrality. the purpose of the bbb system is not to act as an advocate for businesses or customers, but to act as a mutually trusted intermediary to resolve disputes, to open communication, and to provide information on ethical business practices. the bbb is neutral and therefore does not take sides in a dispute. the bbb works to promote an ethical marketplace and tries to seek a mutually satisfactory resolution in disputes between businesses and customers. businesses and customers both have rights and responsibilities in the marketplace.
In your e-mail you asked how nita virghes arrived at her decision to close your complaint as administratively resolved. when a bbb receives a complaint, we present the complaint to the business and request its assistance in resolving the dispute with the customer. we give the business an opportunity to present their side of the story and address a consumer’s allegations. the complaint handler reviews all the information submitted by both parties and bases their decision on the information in accordance with national policies and guidelines.
In reviewing your complaint file, we noted cleverbridge alleges they facilitate online payment processing transaction for uniblue systems, where you purchased the software from. however as an online payment processor, they allegedly do not provide any support or technical assistance for uniblue systems software. further, cleverbridge alleges because uniblue has the ability to process refunds on their own, cleverbridge was not made aware that the refund was issued to a gift card until the second e-mail correspondence with you on april 22, 2011. cleverbridge also alleges they had no prior knowledge of these terms and conditions or standard fees until they extended their efforts to assist you by contacting vanilla mastercard to attempt to resolve this issue. we have noted that cleverbridge has included references to their company’s privacy policy payment procedures as well as the “cardholder agreement” found on the vanilla mastercard website in responding to your allegations. additionally cleverbridge alleges, “by using the prepaid gift card, according to the terms set by vanilla mastercard, mr. grant agreed to present both his receipt and the gift card for all returns and/or exchanges and also rendered himself responsible for all transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of his gift card.”
Based on our review of all the information submitted by you and the company therefore, we have determined the case was processed appropriately as it appears the business made a reasonable effort to resolve the dispute by issuing a full refund to you, which you stated is your desired resolution.
While we are unable to assist you further regarding your complaint, we thank you for giving us an opportunity to be of service to you.
Thank you.

I was charged 29.69euro to my master card by Cleverbrige AG Koein De on the 25 of October without using my card. I called to JCC AND I cancelled the transaction and my card at once. I think we have to inform thee proper authority.
I was charged $29.95 to my debit card by Cleverbridge AG Koeln, and I don't buy anything online and had not used my card during the time that i was charged. ? I know whats wrong with our economy between companies like this and banks charging exhorbanant fees the common person is screwed. Its the same old adage the rich get rich and the poor keep getting poorer...
This morning I have been charged with Euro 24.95 against payment to unknown purchase with Cleverbridge AG Koeln. I have never heard of this company CAGK before. And had to block my credit card immediately, which means I need to pay for a new card. "cleverbridge is the e-commerce partner for a number of online businesses " f*** you, , , be a professional company and learn to mentioned the name of second party/real seller. Your name is alone is creating problems to others. I am sure that I am not the only person to complaint. Once again "f*** YOU"
I too have just received a charge for $30.85 on my credit card. I have not purchased anything online (or elsewhere for that matter) with this card in a very long time.
I'll contact Visa and have this charge removed, however it appears to be a fraudulent charge from Cleverbridge AG Koeln DE.
At this point I'd suggest being wary of doing any business with Cleverbridge, as it seems I'm not the first person to have ambiguous charges from them appear on my credit card.
I too have just noticed a $24.95 charge which I have no idea what it was for. Same company. It looks like a fraudulent charge to me so I will get AMEX to remove it.

RE: BBB CASE #: [protected] UniBlue.com/Cleverbridge E-Commerce Partner
Dear Nita Virghes:
I am writing in response to the following information provided on May 24, 2011, to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Chicago, by Richard Krolikowski, Cleverbridge Inc.
Please note, on May 24, 2011, (the same day the BBB, Chicago received their response) the Customer Support Team, Cleverbridge Inc., sent a response in an email to www.complaintsboard.com which states:
Dear Roger,
Please allow us to apologize for any inconvenience that this ordeal may have caused you. We have reviewed this issue extensively and have been working diligently to assure your satisfaction with this transaction. As you know, we have been in constant contact with yourself, Uniblue Systems, and MasterCard to exhaust all possibilities of a satisfactory resolution regarding this issue.
Mr. Krolikowski in his response, failed to mention that the refund to the gift card was due to “Terrible Service” by UniBlue.com and the charging for duplicate products.
In any event, when a customer is about to purchase RegistryBooster, the UniBlue.com website states: “RegistryBooster optimizes your PC by servicing your registry. If, for any reason, you are not pleased with our product, contact our customer support team within 30 days of purchase and we will refund the full purchase price.”
I do not accept Mr. Krolikowski’s position. Please review the following as they transpired:
• Feb 6, 2011, I purchased RegistryBooster 2011, for $29.95, from UniBlue.com via the internet. I used a pre-paid gift card to pay for this product.
• March 29, 2011, Sarah, Customer Support (CS), UniBlue.com recommended that I upgrade my purchase to PowerSuite 2011 for $39.95. This upgrade includes three products in the PowerSuite which are RegistryBooster, DriverScanner and SpeedUpMyPC. Sarah did not tell me at the time of purchase that one of the three included RegistryBooster, which I already had and could not substitute; DriverScanner; which was incompatible with my old computer and caused it to crash and SpeedUpMyPC; which actually worked. I requested a refund.
• April 1, 2011, Sarah, CS, UniBlue.com sent an email to advise a refund would be processed for the PowerSuite 2011 pending everything being deleted from my computer. When I uninstalled PowerSuite 2011, it also removed both RegistryBooster’s as I had two installed on my computer. I requested a full refund for both products.
• April 4, 2011, Richard K. CS, Cleverbridge Inc., provided a credit for $39.95 Reference Number 2127084. This was the first time I spoke to Cleverbridge as I never heard of them before and all CS before that were from UniBlue.com and well aware of my gift card payment arrangement.
• April 19, 2011; received an email from Helen, Customer Service Manager (CSM), UniBlue.com which states: “Kindly note that I can confirm that your orders were refunded on the 1st April 2011. I suggest that you contact you bank if you still have not received the mentioned refund”.
• April 20, 2011; I sent an email to Helen, CSM, Uniblue.com, to advise that I still had not received a credit for the first RegistyBooster. I attached copies of my credit card statement showing the only refund received was for $39.95.
• April 22, 2011; Richard K, CS, Cleverbridge Inc., in an email stated: “Our records indicate that this refund was issued as of April 11, 2011 back to your MasterCard ending in 0349”. RegistryBooster for $29.95 was credited April 11, 2011, Reference Number [protected], to my old gift card. Mr. Krolikowski will like you to believe that this is the first time I have spoke to Cleverbridge in this regard.
• April 25, 2011; Helen, CSM, Uniblue.com, in an email states: “Kindly note that refunds from our end are only able to be refunded to the same credit card which was used when the order was placed”.
• April 25, 2011; Helen, CSM, Uniblue.com, in an email states: “We do apologize for any inconvenience caused in this matter but from our end we have processed the refunds as per your requests. If you are having issues with the refunds, I suggest that you contact your credit card issuer and discuss further with them”.
• April 26, 2011; Frank, CSM, Uniblue.com, in an email states: “Please understand that as a global e-commerce player, Cleverbridge are bound with various international laws and policies to safeguard the interest of their customers. I can assure you that they deal with a multitude of 'fraud' cases, were people (sometimes professional in what they do), try to trick systems in order to gain money that does not belong to them. This is one of the main reasons why Cleverbridge only refunds money back to the original credit card used. We have had quite a number of cases before where for some reason or another the original credit card would no longer be available and a new one issued by the bank - for example if it gets lost/stolen or perhaps just expired and a new one issued. In all of these cases, Cleverbridge would still return the money on the original credit card and the bank concerned would take care of linking the transaction with the new credit card”.
When a customer is about to purchase RegistryBooster, you have to look towards the very bottom of the website to find and click “Terms and Conditions” and “Privacy Policy”.
Terms and Conditons: Clause 6 Payment by credit card states:
When paying by credit card, the Customer shall provide their full credit card details for each order (cardholder name, card number, expiry date, CVV). Furthermore, the Customer hereby provides their prior consent for cleverbridge to charge the payment for the order to the respective credit card company, particularly for online transactions.
Cleverbridge will take all reasonable measures to protect the credit card details against unauthorised access by third parties. The Customer is aware that unauthorised access to such information by third parties cannot be excluded, especially during the electronic transmission of such information. The Customer's credit card account will be charged online when processing the order.
Privacy Policy: #5 Payment Procedures states:
We provide our customers with the various payment methods, such as credit card, bank transfer, cash payment, direct debit, PayPal, check and giropay, etc. For payments by credit card, we require your credit card number, the card's expiration date and your credit card's security code. Your payment details are then transferred to our payment provider for transaction processing. For payments by direct debit, we require your name, your account number and the bank routing number. Additionally, you can also pay for goods by check or in cash. In this case, we will not require any information other than the delivery address. In order to ensure a secure, encoded transfer of your personal data, we use the SSL (secure sockets layer) standard on all our websites. This means that your personal data and the payment information provided during our ordering process will be transferred securely.
Unfortunately, no where on the UniBlue.com website did Cleverbridge Inc., or UniBlue mention how they deal with Gift Cards either during the transaction or what happens should a refund be required. Also, Cleverbridge obviously knew about VanillaMasterCard’s standard practice of charging a $9.95 fee for issuing a new card.
Subsequently, considering the circumstances, Cleverbridge, could have accommodated me by crediting my new MasterCard account or simply mailing out a cheque.
Now I will be waiting again for VanillaMasterCard this time, to send me in six to eight weeks, a new “Twenty Dollar Gift Card”. $29.95 - 9.95 = $20.
In conclusion, I believe that Cleverbridge Inc., are responsible and accountable for the circumstances and should act in “Good Faith”. This should also be true for all those customers who filed complaints against Cleverbridge Inc., on www.complaintsboard.com.
Sincerely,
Roger Grant

Dear Nita Virghes:
I am writing in response to the following information provided on June 6, 2011, to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Chicago, by Richard Krolikowski, Sr. Customer Service Representative and are reviewed with the Global Director of Customer Support, Cleverbridge Inc.
Please be advised that I do not accept Mr. Krolikowski’s, position in this regard.
Once again, Mr. Krolikowski fails to mention that the gift card was used to purchase the original RegistryBooster, which was removed along with the PowerSuite when uninstalled as a duplicate.
In his submission, Mr. Krolikowski states: “Uniblue has the ability to process refunds on their own”. UniBlue.com Customer Service Representatives were aware of my gift card situation and refunded my account and knew my gift card was destroyed. At that point, they forwarded my complaint to Cleverbridge Inc., who knew or ought to have known about the refund.
Further, Mr. Krolikowski, states: “We would also like to reiterate the fact that Cleverbridge had no prior knowledge of these terms and conditions or standard fees until we extended our efforts to assist Mr. Grant by contacting Vanilla MasterCard to attempt to resolve this issue”.
This is a grave concern as a customer! Mr. Krolikowski, admits that they were unaware of the terms and conditions or standard fees set out by gift card companies. In fact, Cleverbridge Inc., should be well aware of all terms and conditions or standard fees set out by gift card companies. That would be a standard business practice. These facts should be well documented on all of their business websites for customers personal viewing before purchase.
On April 25, 2011, Helen, CSM, UniBlue.com, states: “We do apologize for any inconvenience caused in this matter but from our end we have processed the refunds as per your requests. If you are having issues with the refunds I suggest that you contact your credit card issuer and discuss further with them.”
Below is the VanillaMasterCard, Prepaid MasterCard Card Cardholder Agreement. The following terms and conditions govern the use of the Prepaid MasterCard Card. By signing or using the Prepaid MasterCard Card, one is agreeing to these terms and conditions.
PURCHASE DISPUTES AND REFUNDS
If there is any dispute in regard to purchases you make using the Card, you agree to settle such disputes with the merchant from whom the purchase was made. We are not responsible for any problems that you may have with any goods or services that you purchase with your Card, whether with regard to quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of your purchase. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with the Card, you agree to accept credits to the Balance on your Card in place of cash.
UniBlue.com and Cleverbridge Inc., extended their efforts to assist and became well aware of the VanillaMasterCard policy and then suggested I contact the credit card issuer. Mr. Krolikowski, Cleverbridge Inc., now implies: “Mr. Grant agreed to present both his receipt and the gift card for all returns and/or exchanges and also rendered himself responsible for all transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of his gift card.”
Indeed, it would now appear that Mr. Krolikowski’s intention right from the start was to set a customer up, so that Cleverbridge Inc., would not have to accept responsibility for their action. Costing customers, time and money!
Subsequently, if this is not just a scam by Cleverbridge Inc., payment processer for UniBlue.com, in partnership with MicroSoft, then this information should be showing on the UniBlue.com (RegistryBooster) websites so customers are well informed before purchase. Customers should not be charged for such discrepancies!
As a footnote, www.cleverbridge.com web page confirms they are payment processer for over fifty partners. If a customer would like to purchase a product, you click on one of the companies. They are a third party partner...you have to be looking for them, they don’t stand out. Then at the bottom of the page it states: “This order process is conducted by our online reseller Cleverbridge AG. Payment processing and order fulfillment are done by Cleverbridge AG, Brabanter Str. 2-4, 50674 Cologne, Germany.”
Again, not unlike UniBlue.com, Cleverbridge Inc., as payment processer for all of the respected companies, the gift card company terms and conditions are not listed on their websites.
In conclusion, considering the circumstances, I will be approving Consumer Alert, CTV Television Network to go ahead with their investigation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Roger Grant

I was charged for malwarebyte coverage in January and it isn't due until September. At one time I had an account due in January but I upgraded it to a deluxe plan in September and cancelled the basic coverage. Please refund the payment made on my debit card and don't charge me again til September. Thank You. Sharon Long

Less than a week ago I purchased ManyCam Mac 3 Pro. The audio and video are never in sync. I tried to rectify this by sending my video to an editor and work with the audio trying to match the video...no luck. I wrote the HELP SUPPORT at least 6 times and never received any help or advise. Finally, an icon flashed on the app telling me to upload the latest improvement, when I did that it erased the program and gave me a TRIAL version with an offer to buy it again! $49.95! Today is May 28th, 2015
I want to cancel a program I purchased. "Remote Assistance". I was billed 9.99 and will be charged that monthly. I do not wish to continue this service and would like to cancel it, so I'm not billed for Jan. 2015.
I received an email stating I ordered a virtual food item, item #9581447, receipt #[protected]. I have never ordered anything from this company and did not authorize any funds to go to this company.
Thanks for posting these entries and letters about this company. I will steer clear of them from now on!
I am intrigued by the entries and letters here as I recently purchased a product from this outfit and have not yet received a refund by them for a product that supposedly tweaks the computer and keeps it free of invasion by malware, adware and viruses, trojans and other pesky and destructive systems dissembling cyber attacks. The company has yet to refund my money from a transaction the other day and don't know what they will do in that regard. Thanks for posting these letters and exchanges on refunds. Wish I had read up on them before trying to download one of their products.

Dear Jake11
We apologize for the delay in this response, and we would just like to confirm the information mentioned above by chris7.
Please be assured that the e-mail is fake. If you have a PayPal account, we can confirm that no charge was made to it by cleverbridge.
The e-mail is an attempt by an unknown party to trick you into clicking their links so that they can attempt to steal your account data. Please do not click on the links in the mail, as they may cause your personal data to be compromised. If you have already clicked on the links and have a PayPal account, we recommend changing your PayPal password and contacting PayPal for advice on how to best protect against misuse of your account.
Please forward that email to spoof@paypal.com
Paypal Customer Service can also be reached at

4:00 AM PST to 10:00 PM PST Monday through Friday
6:00 AM PST to 8:00 PM PST Saturday and Sunday
If you have not clicked on the links there is no reason to believe that your PayPal account information or other personal data has been compromised.
I received the same sort of e-mail. It may not be the fault of Cleverbridge. More likely, it is phishers just naming Cleverbridge as a payee. The scammers want you to click on their link in the e-mail to rectify the information. Once you click on it, they ask for Paypal or credit card information, supposedly in the interest of correcting the error. However, as you should know well, Paypal doesn't have to ask you for your account information and neither does your credit card company. If this phishing scheme mentions your Paypal account, forward the e-mail to spoof@paypal.com. If this phishing scheme mentions your credit card account, forward it to your bank that handles the credit card. IMPORTANT: DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK IN THE MESSAGE... IT WILL TAKE YOU TO A BOGUS SITE IN WHICH YOU WILL BE ASKED TO SUPPLY ACCOUNT-RELATED INFORMATION.

I have no idea why this charge is on there. It is not much and I know now that if this is an international company you are paying they can charge you a fee. Customers need to know what is going on. I have no idea why this is showing up

Ok I am going to help you by confronting you. You know you made the charges yourself right? I think you made these erroneous charges and now here you are showing up and complaining. VISA is a wonderful card and provides wonderful customer service to all who use it. In fact, VISA is the sponsor of the Olympics on occasion. So let's think: Where did you make those charges? Why are you not remembering?

Crazy for Hollard, a respected firm, to appear on their site
Info is quite correct. Looks like a scam
As provided
You simply charge via PayPal without order or authorisation. Looks like a scam to me because no logical response from Cleverbridge - only "we do not understand!"
I have a charge for $29.95, dated 1/09/13
Please credit as I do not recognize this charge.
Thank you.

Also, by doing a quick search on this forum or on Google for ‘cleverbridge’, you will see that other customers have had the same inquiry as you and have had all their questions answered.
