Epoch review: charged on debit card 56

This company is doing this to a lot of people and the only way to stop them for good is to cancel the card they are charging to and have it reissued.
I have been being charge since 12/07 and it has added up to 235.67.
The charges that came in on this months statement are being refused and I have canceled the card they are using.
It is to bad that canceling a card will show up on your credit report but this is the only way to stop this type of fraud.
If you are recieving these charges close the account and they will issue you a new number and card.

I just got charged by "epoch.com" for a pornographic web-site supposedly. I talked with their tech.support on an "e-chat", and they guy sounded pretty suspicious... His spelling was real bad and he asked if I recognized an email address that was similar to my name and included MY BIRTHDATE! And their phone numbers just end up hanging up on you...

Someone has an email account with Yahoo! and is impersonating me and has my check card information!

Well, I cancelled the card and emailed "Yahoo! Abuse", but I'm furious! I wish there was more I could do!

I called the number that was on my statement and was told charges would be stopped. Lets see what happens. Good luck to the others

I called the number on my statement and I told them that they were charging me since May 2008 and I told they that i didnt know what EPOCH was and i told them to cancel the charges to my credit card, they canceled it and they told me I will recieve a statement by mail saying that it was cancel. By reading the comments that other people left I called EPOCH and they stopped charging my credit card. So lets see what happens next and I hope they stop charging. Good luck to other and I hope this stops soon.

Yesterday while checking my account online, I happened to notice a $29.95 charge from EPOCH.COM. I called the number and spoke with a woman for about five minutes. I finally convinced her that I knew nothing about this charge, I didn't make the purchase of whatever and that I wanted my money refunded.

I was told that the company would do an investigation and that my money should be returned to me within seven to ten business days.

I immediately wrote down what happened and turned the letter into my credit union. My debit card was cancelled as of the day the fraudulent purchase went through and the credit union returned the funds to me.

My credit union will be doing their own investigation. I now have to wait for a new debit card which is only a minor inconvenience compared to what might have happened.

I'm curious as to how all of this is going to play out.

THIS WAS NOT LISTED AS AN ORDER CHARGE,

My wallet was stolen when some idiots broke into my business. There are charges to a credit card from epoch.com and when I phoned they could not locate the charges to my credit card. They said they were probably under a different name? I thought if you used a credit card number online, the name on the card would have to match for it to go through...boy was I wrong. That's probably why some of you are finding it on your bank stmts without ever losing your account number. Its scary that someone could just type in a bunch of numbers and add any name and the charge would go through.

I'm sure they were on my laptop they stole while they watched their porn! FREAKS! Fortunately, they were ###ed enough to leave fingerprints. I cant wait till they are arrested and I can sit in the front row of the courthouse with a sign that says "free porn in jail"!

Epoch.com should be out of business.

Getting money under false pretence

01 december 2008
Wow im in Western Australia and noticed the EPOC bills on my Credit statement since last year. I complained to bank in Jan 08and then saw them again just before ordering a new Card for same account with new numbers in June 08 Now I see they have been billing my card again same account New Numbers!
I have been too busy to get to a printer to print off a Complaint form to Fax to my Bank until today. Now I have to phone the Epoch people really early in my morning as they are 17 hours behind me.in LA thw phone Number for any Aussies to call is ...[protected]. But I will do things thru Bank 1st as they will get me last 3 months of un Authorised deductions refunded to me Good luck I hope this helps the Aussies PS I AGREE EPOCH SHOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS IF THEY CAN CHARGE OUR ACCOUNTS WITHOUT A MATCHING NAME TO THE CREDIT CARD NUMBERS...!

i'm being charged a monthly fee for no services

I think most people here are lying and trying to cover their butts after signing up for porn sites. They are just the processor and just take the information and send it along to Visa or whatever card company it is and if it gets validated at that end, they go through with the charge. Most sites that they process for say that the bills are recurring unless you tell them otherwise.

I was able to cancel a subscription quickly (in about 5 minutes) and I haven't been charged since. Don't get mad at a customer service rep because you're trying to cover up your porn purchase.

I'm not only mad at this Epoch.com but my Fiance because he has just throws his infor all over the web. We were getting billed for Free Credit Report .com this Green Moblie and now I discovered this crap. Im a stay at home mom of 2 boys and he needs to be more responsible with his money. Im going to tell him just to cancel his card because this is ###!

Well I'm glad I found this site.. now I know NOT to use EPOCH with my CC. I'm getting the idea they are not in to abuse and / or fraude, no there is an other problem... there software and server sucks as there customer service!

I did not use my card but the Dutch system iDeal... could not registrate with my name, couse in there vision a name can have only 2 words... I complaint by email... no responce! Ather finding the solucion... a sever error.

This morning made a payment, after completing at my banks site... a sever error on the EPOCH webserver...
gone is $ 20.- ... my bank will return it but...

For me, no more EPOCH

My advice, inform the one your buying from about the bad job EPOCH does, if they get complaints and less oders from that site, they will have to improve or they are out of bussiness one day soon.

I just got a BS charge on my debit card from epoch.com

I called the number on the statement immediately to find out what it was about. The process on the phone was so smooth, I could tell they get this all the time. It almost leads me to believe epoch.com is somehow in on it. They get money for the transactions processed and they obviously store all kinds of credit card info if they are a processing company. What would it take for them to just throw random charges on peoples accounts? How many slip through the cracks?

The guy told me I have to file a police report about it. He also told me "someone stole your identity." My ###. Some less than honest online merchant or processing company used the number from a website I previously purchased something with.

I just noticed charges on a prepaid visa card we had laying around the house. We never purchase anything online for less than $20-30 and there were tons of little $1, $2, and $4 charges adding up to around $20, assuming no one would notice I suppose. Once in a while I will check the balances on old cards laying around and I found all of them stated "EPOCH.COM*MANSTERMED" coming out of CA and we live on the East Coast. So I guess I will be calling them as well. I do not know how any of the information could have been obtained, but it is a royal waste of my time.

Hello,

I have been see that money has been leaving me account since september this was after i join to Amzon, i know that it is not Amzon who have given out my bank details, but i would like it if Epoch returned the money that there have taken.

Epoch is allegedly using your website links, by placing your link on their teenage porn websites, for marketing purposes, Without your knowledge. It is so offensive, vulgar, improper, the content of young teenage girls. Epoch is http://www.epoch.com marketing company exploiting young innocent girls for profit. SO vulgar the websites content with teenage kids. This company allegedly is attaching your website url on their webpage for a day then click to get high ranking. Without your knowledge or permission. The images are so unacceptable from Epoch customers. The graphic material is horrific to see such young girls doing this. No money is worth the payment the mental scars they will have. These girls have to do paid sex. I am allegedly this, the girls are under age. We have snap photos of the actual links on this horrible sites. Sex is beautiful anyone who would performsexaul acts like this need help. Epoch / http://www.epoch.com marketing company is illegally using your website url to gain high ranking without your knowledge or consent. DO not support adult websites and teenage children. Descent sex this is so vulgar, And should let their customer know exactly what the profit is supporting. To their money to help young girls instead of exploiting them.
This is one dumb dame website you cross over the line. And I swear it might take us 1 year or longer you will loose your domain name and if possible the FBI will arrest and broad members. I do hope your stock falls and loose your domain name. One day this business will be closed down.
If you are signed up with Epoch http://www.epoch.com I strongly suggest you get a refund. This company has a great website that is misleading.. Where there is no mention that they are marketing 99.9 % of teenage sex websites. Thus then capturing your high ranking website, using your link on their site then remove it. Yet the damage is done… clever yet illegal. Domain name url are copyright protected.
In your stats you will see the referrer links. This is illegal to have these links without your permission
Email sales@epoch.com accounts@epoch.com admin@epoch.com postmaster@epoch.com and report this site to the FBI fraud@fbi.com or abuse@icann.org and have this site Ip disabled. Protect women from being exploit and protect your website and stop EPOCH for using your website illegally. This is an alleged claim evidence can be presented upon request.

This all very interesting because I just noticed a charge for 39.95 on my card that has been going on since 2007. (don't ask why it took this long to discover it I just glance over my statements, so much for that) I called Epoch and they said they could credit 4 months. Why Has no one started a class action suit?

Epoch are a legitmate company approved by many banks and Visa International. Just because you have been a victim of card fraud, it is more likely your fault, not Epoch's. Total bunch of freak losers on here whinging...The other baseless rambling accusations on here are not worth responding to, other than to say you sound like dodgy child porn freaks to me.

Dans72...Noone has started a class action lawsuit becase you have no [censor]ing case you [censor]

I used my credit card at AFFES and online on Macy's website while I was serving in Iraq this year. When I got home I found these criminals had run this charge through on my Capitol One Visa a DOZEN times. I have no idea how they got my card number, (I am guessing some of the 3rd country nationals who work in AFFES have GOT to be in on it, by passing such info to to the loacls). I complianed to Capitol One. They investigated it and removed the charges but that is still one MAJOR HASSEL I should NOT have had to endure once I got home.

don't know why I'm being chraged ?

lmao all these comments made me laugh a lot! I signed up to this [censor] site to watch some nice college porn but they make it soo incredibly hard to cancel the purchase. Only after months of abuse they have re-constrcuted their so called 'professional customer service' but however in the end its our own fault for being risky by submitting our details online. However the comments gave me a good laugh, but to the point get [censor]ed epoch your service blows and so do the idiots that stick up for you, you [censor]wits know they are taking advantage of people. Bottom line is this company is purely deisgned to raught pockets.

Stop paying for internet porn and you people wouldn't have these issues.

They did something similar to me. I admit it, I bought 1 EUR worth of content on an adult site. However, the adult site charged me an additional 40 EUR without my approval and epoch.com, their "authorized sales agent" didn't do a darn to help me. Their only comment was that I should contact the adult site directly. Of course there is no way to contact them because they are like a ghost company. It looks like epoch.com is the preferred billing company for internet frauds since they let them do their dirty business, they got them covered and no questions asked, while providing no security for the clients who naively trust in them their sensitive personal/billing information. Please be careful with those scams. Lesson learned: always go for free porn lol
oh, and stay away from scams like epoch.com, clickandbuy.com etc.

I was charged a yearly subcrption after i canceled 3 day trial membership.

I just called the number and it took a total of 30 seconds to cancel the payments. I think a lot of this happens when you get spyware or malware on your computer and it gets your info. Some idiots are saying that we're trying to cover up porn charges but that's just ignorant. I was being charged by fling.com every three months so I barely noticed the payments coming out. I've never even been to this website so it definitely make you wonder...

you can canell here

Best way to avoid this is to do it the way I did it. Call up your bank right away let them know that a fradulent transaction has been taken out you account and you have not given your account details out to anyone. Cancel your card and report it lost so that it is immediately unusable (Otherwise these ppl will continue to take money for as long as they can). Tell them you have already contacted the company that has taken the money from your account and they do not answer. Get the bank supervisor to make a note on your bank account saying you have reported this dodgy transaction today. The bank will say to you to call back in 15 days after reporting the transaction after which if the company do not return the money. (Which they oviously wont) then the bank will undertake a full investigation after which your money will be returned to you. Good luck

My story is the same as the above they offered to refund my money and as soon as i receive my money i am pressing charges. i also cancelled my debit card.

EPOCH z bull shiiit! I cancelled the subscription and they charged me for the next month as well, when I tried to call them, they informed me that I didn't cancel on time; I checked the billing link and they extended my cancel date.
They are cheaters

Hi Everyone,
2 days ago I just realised that I was being charged $24.95 from my credit card for since may 2011! I couldnt believe that i had not seen my statements for that long! i spoke to the customer representative at epoch.com and she said she would make sure that the last 4 months would be refunded to my account.I AM FURIOUS! She gave me an email address-a yahoo address and a name a 'jayanth gupta' an ip adress and a postal code.I have filed a complaint with my bank but I dont know what else to do! I cannot believe so many people have been a victim of this clearly mass run crime.

I was registered with Epoch, after 1 week I canceled my membership and I received confirmation email from them that my membership is canceled, but after 3 weeks they took money from my account even though my membership is canceled which made me mad, in addition, they don't refund money back to your account that was taken without permission, I don't recommend anyone to deal with Epoch don't trust them at all be careful of your money, it was very bad experience with them they makes money by using different cheating techniques

I don't know why I have just been charged again for a service that I don't know about. As far as I remember I cancelled this account long ago . I was only interested in "I" [one] month only but have been getting a re ac-curing payment taken from my credit card. I have just left a note on the site "www.epoch.com" to cancel any subscription that I may have with you. Please cancel everything asap. My name is James Manning Cerezo my user name is "musicmann001" and I am know as 'James Mann'

$37.03 AUD being taken monthly on my Visa Card

Clearly, there is some major fraud going on here. I found that someone had gotten hold of my paypal debit card # and was able to charge $160. for 1 years access to a porn site. Epoch did not even ask him for the security code on the back of the card. Please, someone with the right connections and power to change this, do it. "We the people" have so little control when it comes to big business. This is the 2nd time I have had my identity stolen and it took me 6 months and endless hours trying to clear my name and take care of so much nonsense and it begins here. Epoch needs to be closed down!

i was trying to cancel the subscriptions (the brazzers and the epoch) and the website wasn't allowing me to, either it stated that the member id was incorrect or the mail or the card number, so i couldn't cancel it after 15 minutes the deathline, so i tried to resolve it with the online chat support. they left me waiting 45 minutes i started to get impatient so i decided to call them, the so called "customer support specialist" was trying to mix up what i was telling me so that it was my fault, after several times of explaining him what was my problem, me getting very upset and asking him to let me speak to his supervisor he decided that i was banned from their services (which i couldn't care less) and that what they've charged me was going to be on my account from 3 to 7 work days, can i trust what he said?

Epoch.com is a SCAM. If you're looking answers, forget it. Why this is allowed to continue is beyond me? Epoch.com is a SCAM

Epoch.com is a SCAM. This needs to stop.
