As far i remember i purchased avast anti virus on my credit card on 20th may 2010. Its price was only 3000. But the amount is being deducted every month since my purchase, as it was only one - time payment. The billing is also mentioned as epgbill.com. Marketsocial. . . Please clarify. . .

Hey there, I just got off the phone with Wells Fargo and they said that this can be processed as a fraudulent charge, and also soarked a lot more options. I too have been being hit with these charges since June of this year, and I also have the phone number of "" [protected] for EPGBILL.com market soci." I tried calling them today and they said that they do not have the information to the website that is charging me 39 bucks a month... which is complete ###. If these people are a third party participant then they would have to give the money collected from our cards, TO THAT PERSON(website).

After calling epg numerous times, I gave that phone number to the fraud department and they also tried to contact them. After I was removed from hold the nice lady said that the phone number she tried went straight to busy.

Why are they answering for the regular schmucks like us, and NOT for the fraud department of WF? because it's a scam. We were dooped, phished or swindled somehow, most likely by computer, unaware that we were giving out information, to a site we thought we trusted, and that info was stolen somehow. Happens all the time as these boards can verify.

All we can do now is file a claim with our bank and go through the procedure. If you have any other ideas or options please let me know.

best regards and good luck,
Andrew Amick

EPGBILL is a fraud, i was charged $39.95 usd even after i cancelled my membership, at the same time i also was charged another $40 usd for another service that i never contracted called "pink marketing", evidently they are a fraudulent company that are making money out of people who trust in them.

I just noticed these charges this month. I have getting charged since February 2010! No help from my bank- they can only refund me for the first two months I have been getting the same responses from EPGBILL.com. I filed a report with the Attorney General Office as well as the Federal Trade Commission. Since the company is apparently located in "Germany" (yeah, okay...whatever...) BBB cannot file a complaint. I am so surprised with all of these complaints online that this company is not out of business. Curious- did any of you guys get refunds from EPGBILL?

I found that the leboaid.com you can cancel just go to leboaid.com and fill in the form and the marketsocial, I typed epgbill.com/marketsocial and got transferred to www.cypherhelp.com where I was able to cancel the subscription, I have still ordered a new CC to make sure. I hope this can help some of you.

I called them and they refunded my card and have added me to a list credit cards not to accept.
The girl on the phone was not able to do anything, however she forwarded my information to their billing department who took care of it the next morning. Sometimes you just need to call these people. There should be a number after it says epgbill.com on your credit card statement, give it a call and don't take no for an answer. Ask to be forwarded to the billing department if you are calling within their business hours, if not they will send an email to them.
If all else fails, especially in the case of xavierjevon call your bank and provide the details, that should start legal action against all three parties involved. Needless to say they will very quickly reverse the charges and add you to a do not charge list.
Hope that helps!

EGPBill --- scam, fraud,

I too had a fraudulent amount taken out of my account with EGPBill.

They just repeat the same message... that they are a payment processor and so can't tell me who actually billed me.

Well, if they are processing payments, they should know who they are processing them for!

EGPBill is a front for a scam -- simple as that. Otherwsie they would tell me who put through the fraudulent payment on my card.

They are based in Germany and should be reported to the German authorities.

Its a scam. I have been hit with the same thing. My bank had to re-issue me a debit card and do a charge back for all charges. They then put the money back in my account. EPG is a payment service provider to porn and unscrupulous sites based in europe. They process transactions with out regard for who they are charging and if its legit. You card info could of been swiped like mine and then charged periodically to slowly steal from you without raising suspicion. They do this to thousands of people at once making who knows how much...

I have been 'hit' by EPGBILL as well in Dec /Jan 2011. Small amounts varying from $2.98 to $38.18 every few days. By the time I got my bank statement I had approx. $200 debited against my credit card. From all that I have now seen on websites re this company, it is not EPGBILL 'clients' that are conducting the scam but EPGBILL itself. When you contact them either via phone or website, they are for the first 6 numbers of your credit card and then ask for the last 4 ! Why ask for credit card info at all. Each transaction has a reference no. quoted along with a client no. and they cannot find transaction details with that info. Alarm bells should ring ! EPGBILL is the scammer.
Publicise EPGBILL and any name it morphs into, out to the wider internet community. Hassle your local consumer affairs department and media to publicise this scam.
And hassle your politicians to put pressure on Germany via trade embassies etc, for Germany to do more about chasing these ### into court.

Found three charges similar to the others who've complained here. Notified our Credit Union, and cancelled the debit cards. Wrote a letter describing that the charges were not authorized. The bank agreed and returnd the charged amount to our account. In reaction to the incident, we created a new checking account. There is a Debit card associated to that account. It will not overdraw the account. When we intend to use it for anything online, we transfer funds into the account and immediately charge them. Due to the fact that this is a Credit Union, we aren't penalized for a low balance. When there is no intent to use the Debit card, the account balance is $0

This company is still at it. Was just charged $19.95 for something I definitely did not order or authorize. Tried both phone and chat help. Just like Robb41 I was asked for more credit card info. When I refused and requested to speak with a supervisor I was continuously hung up on. After canceling the card and starting a fraud action against them I gave them the info with the guarantee that I could talk to a supervisor. Was told that they had gone on break and to call back in an hr. Went through that three times and still have not gotten a supervisor on the line. This has got to be a scam.

I am the representative over my sons account that his social security goes in to. I encountered a problem over a month ago and found charges from epgbill. I asked my son about it and he said he had no idea what it was for. We had gone to the bank so he could get money out and I had to go in to take care of it. Had to cancel his card as well as file a formal complaint to stop the payments. The bank is still waiting for information back from these people. Also had charges from a globalpersons. Still have no idea what that is from either. They started out with like 7cents and then went up to 39.95 from there.

This company sucks and i would be another victim had i used an actual credit or debit card. I dont recall the exact website but i will just be totally honest. A former acqaintance of mine had done a calendar p shoot and came across one sight that had her on it, but in order to view the video, signup for a "free trial" was mandatory so i got out my netspend card (which has worked before even though i had no funds on it ) but i guess it really depends on the type of free trial one is signing up for. .so anyway i dont trust any company or website charging my credit cards so i just tried my google wallet card to see if that would work. It did, but once it worked and the free trial started, the video from the site that made me sign up for the free stupid trial was guess what ? Nowhere to be found. So i sent an email to the sites customer service people requesting to cancel this service because they are liars and scamsters and i received a strange email regarding sending my email to them and google would retry to send it again later. Well long story less long, my email never went through. Big surprise. But i keep getting emails about my google wallet card being charged (but failed to go through) every week from the reported company and web address listed on this page . Maybe they are just the middle men but they shouldnt do business with shysters and scammers

I bn having th sam promblm since june of this year. A total of more than £600 has been taken. My bank is on the case now and has refunded me the full amount and refunds now every time they take something. They also use different names and take up to £50 at a time. Yesterday they took £35 under the name SSB*SAFETBILL.COM and another 35 under the name EPGBILL.COM/*ITEMH. My bank assures me they will fully investigate and sort it. Otherwise the only thing to do is close the account.
