LiveCareer charged my account wrongly and not replying to my email!

So i signed up for the free trial. Then i didnt remember to cancel and they didnt even notify me that my account is about to be charged. After that they charged me 4, 591 Jamaican dollars! Not the 400 jmd like they said! Now i emailed them for a refund and they are not replying to my mail!

LiveCareer scam... embarrassed I even have them my info

I made a subscription to this site to make one resume over three months ago. The site said that it would cost me a little over a dollar for fourteen days. I didn't realize that they charge you on auto-pay for 34.95 each month of you don't make sure to cancel your subscription. I never use the card that I gave them so I didn't know I was being charged each month. I got on the website once and made one resume and ended up paying over 100 dollars for a stupid resume. When I called in the lady was extremely rude and said that would not receive any money back. I told her that this is clearly a scam and that I can't believe they took over 100 dollars from me. After Listening to me complain, she told me to hold again and came back and said she will refund me 17 dollars and that is all they can do. I definitely learned my lesson.. You should really never give your card information out online to sites you don't know much about and I am sure this company gets calls like this daily and I'm sure the managers are just making the people at the call center deal with all the peoples' complaints while they lurk around not dealing with the problem. There are plenty of companies out there that have similar scams. I wish I would have caught this sooner. But it's just sad that people are okay with stealing people's money like that.

LiveCareer unauthorized transactions

Hi there,
Around 2 weeks ago, I had signed up with the LiveCareer website specifically for the resume building option because I really needed one and the trial subscription fare that was mentioned on the site was quite reasonable, given that it was only a 14-day trial period.

I then noticed that over the course of the following days since I signed up for this trial, that two small scale funds (of 1.29 CAD and 1.23 CAD respectively) were debited from my account to them. And just two days ago, a huge sum of 51.72 CAD was debited from my account to them. This is outrageous. As an international student I cannot afford to be ripped off like this. I read up online for options and help and I found out that there were several more other folks who fell victim to these illegal cons. I was directed to this Complaints Board page from there and I'm hoping that I receive help in getting a refund back once I submit this complaint.

I've successfully managed to cancel my subscription with LiveCareer and I got a confirmation cancellation number via email response as well. Here's the Cancellation confirmation number: [protected].
Please help me get a refund for this unauthorized transaction so I can clear my bills.

Thank you kindly,
Calen Lewis.

LiveCareer I want my money back

I signed up with this website about a month or 2 ago thinking it was free and I only had to pay a small fee. I used the website to make a couple of resumes. And I checked my account today and 52.21 was missing from my account. I want my money back.

Yes this website is a complete scam . I've tried calling multiple times to try and cancel my account and I can't seem to get anyone to answer. They have charged $79.60 to my card so far. I would really love to get this cancelled and get my money back. I was completely under the impression that all you paid was like $1.98 to completely one resume and print. I had no idea you were going to be charging my account every month. This is not okay. And I would love my money returned back to my card. SCAM! -- DO NOT USE

Yes me too, I encounter this problem because I thought that only 1.95 USD for making cover letter and resume but at the first stage they took 39 something USD, Singapore dollar about 55 and I thought for that only this month and I never check my bank account for long time.. Then I realized that my account missing money. When I properly checked then I found out that they deduced from my account for 4 times already every time Singapore dollar 55, about SDG 220 already I have been cheated by this website. Just now I cancelled my subscription with them but I will not stop . I will voice out on this issue to media or social network to beware with this so call live career

LiveCareer fraudulent charging

yes this company charged me $1, then $1.95 for 14 day trial. I tried making a resume and a letter but didnt see any use for the service or get any copies made or downloaded from them. I requested to cancel service within time frame. They canceled but continued to charge me for four months of 35.80 which doesnt even add up to or match any of their stated costs. I wasnt getting financial statements and was having trouble accessing online. Now i find my problem. i went to the account and I can sign in but cant access anything even though I have been unknowingly paying, Also, If I want to access my resume I made, it wants me to put my financial information and pay again. Complaining to federal trade commission, BB, and state attorney general. tired of this type of business fraud.

I signed up for LiveCareer for the one time payment and cancelled it right after the next day. After 2 months, LiveCareer has charged me twice $ 39.95! When I noticed LiveCareer was stealing from me, I logged on my account to see if it was still there and my account was disabled. I preceding then to call LiveCareer. I had to wait 30 minutes to talk to a representative. He told me that my user account was closed but they were still charging my card. So obviously I closed my account properly. Also, he told me that he couldn't refund me. Not only I didn't have an account that i could make resumes with, they were STEALING from my bank account. I would recommend no one to use LiveCareer. Unless they want 39.95 charged from their account every month without making a resume. This Website is scam!

LiveCareer charged me $150 in 1 month

I designed a resume in Live Career because it was advertised as FREE, but at the end it required a minimal fee of $3.99 so I paid for it. When I needed to alter the same resume a few days later, it didn't save my account so I had to make a brand new resume, then pay the $3.99 again at the end of it. A month later I realized I had been charged 4 times! 2 payments of $35.80 and 2 payments of $30.80...$151.20 total. Didn't give me a refund and I'm furious. DO NOT USE EITHER OF THESE SITES.

LiveCareer hidden charges

I went to this site looking for a free resume creator. They advertise themselves as such, but once you spend an hour on it and complete it, you need to spend a couple bucks to actually get it. Not so bad. But they don't notify you about the $40 a month subscription that you are automatically signed up for. I'm glad I caught this one on my bank statement. That is $480 a year! Stay away from this one. A quick Google search on Live Career will lead to many scam review sites and complaint sites.

LiveCareer fraudulent activity

This is my checking acount. I have managed to keep up with it. But today I noticed fraudulent activity dating back to June. I did NOT give these companies permission to withdraw funds, one of which is pending tonight. Please Remove these charges, and replace the funds in my account. I do like banking with Southern Bancorp. I did even google the spoofs and they are as suspected spoofs of fraudulent money frauds. Please do everything possible to replace my funds.

LiveCareer fraudulent charges

HIghly unprofessional business practices. They take money out of customer bank accounts or apply unauthorized charges to credit card. They then try to get away with it by telling people to read the fine print. Yet, if this was a legit business why even try to hide any language. Legitimate disclose all practices upfront. Suspected scam, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

LiveCareer same problem as everyone else

Same problem as everyone else. I didn't mind paying the $4.95 to download my resume that I created. What I didn't realize is that I signed up for an additional service that I needed to call them for to cancel - which was $34.95 per month. I would have never signed up for this because I only needed a one time download. I didn't notice the charge until my second credit card billing statement - which by then I was already out for 3 months worth of charges.

I have filed a complaint with the BBB and have disputed the charges with my credit card company. We'll see what happens. I tried calling up livecareer and explained the situation, but they weren't willing to work with me.

Don't use them!

So i typed up my whole resume, great site with a lot of tools to easily create your dream resume. I was under the impression it was free, so spent an hour or so making it. found it it was not free. was extremely pissed.
GOOD NEWS
found a work around to it after completing the resume, just go to the preview resume tab, while in that tab hit the button print screen on your keyboard. paste this into paint, crop and there you have it, a fix to this websites scam!

LiveCareer the livecareer website should probably be shut down completely

LiveCareer.com is a website offering services to people to construct their resume. I used this service in September, 2012 to write a new resume for my wife and paid a $4.95 fee to utilize the various resume templates they displayed. In the fine print, it was stated that I had access to the resume information for 7 days along with the fee I paid. What I did not realize, if I did not cancel within 7 days, a monthly fee would be charged to my account. I had paid the basic fee using my debt card bank account so they had my financial information. Without my knowledge nor my consent, they started making monthly withdrawals of $34.95. This continued for almost 3 months until I discovered that these monthly withdrawals were being made. I called LiveCareer.com on November 23, 2011, and got their billing department, located in the Philippines and talked with the person there, who was somewhat challenged using the English language. They immediately agreed to cancel the upcoming November payment. After all, they have a money back policy. I was quite upset with the operator I was talking to so I asked to speak to the supervisor. The supervisor reminded me that I had agreed to allow these ongoing monthly charges and I assured him that had I realized that I was subject to these charges I would not have used the website. I asked him to refund the other 2 months (Sept & Oct) payments that had already been withdrawn. He said that he did not have the authority to do so and that he would have to email the headquarters in San Francisco for authorization. He said, give me a couple of days. The company did credit my bank account for the November payment. However, nothing happened about the previous 2 payments. While talking to the supervisor, he gave me an address for the headquarters in San Francisco along with a couple of phone number he thought might connect me to that office. However, he said that he had no way to directly contact this office by phone ... only by email. I thought that was quite unusual that he had not direct contact with headquarters. A week later, I called both numbers and was again connected to their office in the Philippines. Next I went online to look up their headquarters address in the San Francisco yellow pages. No such company was listed. However, when I used the online map, when I entered the office address in CA it was redirected to an address on Madison Ave in New York City. There was a phone number listed for that location and when I called it, I was again connected with the office in the Philippines. I was eventually connected to the same supervisor in that office. I asked why can't I talk to the offices located in the USA and he informed me that they were a world-wide company with offices located in several countries. They have over 10 million customers world-wide. I think it is highly unusual that a company with millions of customers and offices in two major US cities does not have a listed phone number here in the USA. I also have concluded that his company "traps" it customers with additional and unnecessary fees that are charged month after month without providing any services to their customers. I consider myself to be very careful with my purchases on the internet and feel like that I have become of victim of a very organized "scam." However, I am a very persistant person and I don't tolerate it when someone attempts to "con" me. Probably most people would not take the time to investigate a situation like this one. Most people would be satisfied with getting a refund for 1 monthly fee and consider the other monthly fees to be the cost of learning a lesson the hard way. If Livecareer, Inc really has 10 million customers, and if each of these customers gets $34.95 "stolen" from their bank account each month, it will equal $349.5 million each month. Whoever got this "scam" going is making a bundle at our expense. The Livecareer website should probably be shut down completely. At least, they should be forced to remove the "automatic" monthly billing feature from the same box on their website where a customer makes a selection for using their service for a one-time purchase. They clearly have designed it so that the average person will be deceived into agreeing to allowing them to make monthly withdrawals from your bank account. This is another warning ... buyer beware.

LiveCareer I wasted hours putting together my resume using this service

I wasted hours putting together my resume using this service. The online viewer was deceptive - as many people here claim, what looks like a one-page resume, after you pay to download and print it out, it's many pages long. Plus, the 7-day access I paid for came with a hidden monthly subscription to their service so I got slammed with another $34.95 a week later. LiveCareer only offered to refund part of it so I filed a claim with my bank (Wells Fargo) and they are refusing to do anything about it. What a hassle!

LiveCareer don't use this service

They make it appear like you will be getting a resume for $4.95 (which by the way is Highway Robbery)! Who in the world would subscribe to a resume service and pay $34.95 per month?!?

However, when you click to purchase you "$4.95" resume you are actually subscribing to their ridiculous resume service. If someone is looking for a job, they obviously would not want to subscribe to a service like this.

When you discover the $34.95 charge on your credit card statement with their number [protected]), you can cancel the service. However, they will still charge you a pro-rated amount. I discovered it fairly quickly. So, I was only charged $10.

But still, this company is the ### of the www using predatory techniques on a segment of the population that is struggling. Download Libre office and use something from their office suite to make your resume. Or download a resume template from Microsoft.com. But don't use this service!

After cancelling the subscription that is clearly not understood by most people, I had checked my bank statement and found that this 'company' had charged me a further 3 times.i contacted customer service explained that I wanted the unauthorised funds returned to my email with all the evidence of the cancellation number with the original email and photos of the bank statement funds showing the funds that were taken.I have had to explain this over several months to the same people as they give a run down of the 14 day subscription policy and I am not entitled to refund! I have repeaetedly explained that I am not asking for those payments refunded, the payments that were taken out AFTER I HAD CANCELLED.this is obviously a scam, if not the worst business practice and ethics I have ever come across!

I just looked at my credit card statement on a credit card that I just paid off and haven't used in a while and noticed a charge from them for $39.80. Well after going back through my statements this has been going on for 9 months now 9 months of charges that were not authorized $358.20 worth. I just emailed them that I want this refunded to my credit card and I will be contacting my credit card company and hopefully something will be done. I am outraged right now that a company would do this. If I wouldn't have paid my reddit card off who knows how long this would have continued. I want my $358.20 back.

I used this site for my first ever resume and got the job because of it. I didn't realize that the charge was signing me up for a subscription, but upon further reading, they do clearly state that in their email receipt. That being said: Use this service, I thought they did a fantastic job, but make sure you cancel your subscription immediately after purchasing your resume. I only paid $1.95 and ended up being charged $40, but that's because I didn't follow the instructions that were clearly stated in the email. If you call the company and ask for your money back, you won't get a full refund which is frustrating (since I only used their service once), but they will refund you about 3/4 of the money.
Just use this as a learning experience for anyone who is angry to read through things more carefully to avoid things like this in the future, but I would recommend their surface to anyone as long as they cancel their subscription within 14 DAYS of the original purchase!

LiveCareer scammed my money too. Since I am come from Malaysia. Currently my country is having currency crisis and I have lack of money. Malaysia Ringgit was dropped from RM3.20/usd to RM4.30/usd. It is a very expensive amount for me, since my salary is not high enough in this country. I have to pay more and more money for this unknown amount. I was felt curious why did my credit card statement is keep appearing "LiveCareer". This LiveCareer is really a scammer, they automatic subscribe my credit card without my approval. Last time I use their service to create a resume just because I want to look for a job. However, actually I just use their service for few days only. I was just paid for their service for one month only. However, they automatic subscribe to my credit card. I have to pay this unknown amount for every month.

I had been taken over $300 since my first purchase in March. and I jsut notice.

Agent's explanation:LiveCareer's continuous billing feature is stated on the Subscription Options page where you select your purchase, Payment Confirmation page, as well as on the Payment Confirmation email that is sent when you first subscribe.

But I didn't receive any fromal agreement or notice. Taking advantage of our deficit of knowledge for profits, if this is not fraud, what it would be?!

This company is such a scam. If you are going to charge people to renew their service, you need to tell them right away. It's bs that you are charging for them to make a resume and get a job, then once they do, you are taking their money. You are charging almost $40 twice a month. This is unbelievable and I will make sure you will be reported. You have cheated my boyfriend out of hundreds of dollars and when I called to ask about it I get put on hold for almost 10 mins. I went in and cancelled his account after seeing reviews about people still being charged after changing bank information. I can tell you that when you go in and cancel the account when you aren't even the name holder of the account, that's not legal and this is a scam. End of story. Never use this service.

I have had exactly the same experience! I used the website to download one resume and then didnt use it any further. Now have charges totalling over $150 AUD on my card. I contacted Live Career who basically said "too bad.. you shouldve read the fine print". I highlighted to them that when you register, a pop up screen comes up telling you that you can use all the free services and can create an unlimited amount of resumes and cover letters (amongst other things). They responded - "where did it tell you that you could download them for free?" So the point is that you can use it to create unlimited resumes - but you cant use them! I persisted and eventually got refunded for 2 of the 3 months. But when I told them that I had read the multiple complaints here they quite rudely said "why do you have time to read a blog about us, but you didnt have time to read the fine print"!

Someone said to google the transaction and we have noticed all of these complaints with similar issues! I am shocked, I did use a resume builder but there was no option to cancel any so called subscription. I have received not one email from live career and have tried logging into there website but it says that my email isn't in there system. This is fraud and I can't believe you can get away with it. I have been treated as a fool and have been scammed out of $500! Can someone please help me on how I get this stopped, or even better have it refunded? Please help.

LiveCareer don't be surprised when you get international charges on top of what you are paying

Horrible website! Don't be surprised when you get international charges on top of what you are paying! They lost my completed resume & I got someone else's total information when I logged on!

LiveCareer charges you $34.95 if you do not contact them to cancel your account

Even though it says that it is $4.95 for 7 days. Make sure you keep reading because it automatically charges you $34.95 if you do not contact them to cancel your account. I used it that 1 day and the service was not even helpful and then had to pay $34.95 for something I did not end up using at all.
