My son thought that the free $100 Walmart card offer was inviting and agreed to the trial period of free magazines. He gave them the credit card information to "verify the person". He called Central Rewards to cancel the magazine subscription. Three months later he was charged $49.95/month for obscure magazines that he didn't want. I told him to call the credit card company and cancel all charges. He received a new credit card number and the charges were reversed. Central Rewards sent a bill for $2, 897.10 and I told them that an oral contract (my son signed nothing) was valid if the amount was less than $500 or for no longer than 1 year duration. If you haven't signed your name to anything (such as the voucher check) or picked different magazines than being sent to you, please call a lawyer ease the stress on you. It is not an enforceable contract. You must not have signed anything to have an oral contract.

Am going through the same issue, i was so stupid to believe i was seriously going to get a gas gift card of $100 . I got scammed by this company so called"central rewards" and got billed almost $3000 . and threaten me i was going into collection if i don't pay. I need help what can i do.

I was astounded that this happened to me. Especially in light of the fact that mine was a debit card not a credit card. I don't use E-Bay or amazon. I use my card for gas purchases to go from one side of the state to the other. My husband live in Northern Utah so he can be treated at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, I live in Southern Utah(long story). I am disabled so my money is tight every month. Magazines are something I simply cannot afford. My husband was in surgery (brain surgery) (not kidding) when they took the $50.00 out of my account. Imagine my embarrassment when I had to ask a family member to loan me the money to get home and then work for weeks with my bank to fix it. Now I get a letter that says pay a 99.92 fee or else. well we shall see what the or else is when i call the FBI IC3.

HI i haI am on society security and only get 600.00 amonth and it have been scamed for 4995 which I tryed to call but they wont talk to me .they are pretty bad when they scam an old lady.

Hi,
I am also a victim of this fraud. They charged me from different accounts for more than 100$ and when i called them they refuse to give info or refund my account. I am going to file a dispute with my bank on all of their transactions. They told me that i will get 500$ coupons, 100$ walmart voucher and selected based on my recent transaction with one of their partner company...I didnt receive anything from them ...:( Please help me if you file a case and the reference number if u have which shall help me also..

I have been scammed by the company. I have no idea how they got my credit card number. I even told them over the phone that I do NOT want their magazine subscription. I am in the process of trying to get a refund and threatened to contact the Better Business Beauro and the Florida Attorney General. I was told by the company that their address is : Central Rewards Magazine Subscription, 8362 Pines Blvd, Ste#109, Penbroke Pines, FL 33024. If you recieve any futher info, please comment on this thread and I will check it again. These people need to be prosecuted for thier crimes.

I totally agree with you, I just got scammed too. First of all, I never received the vouchers, but about 5 magazines came through my mail with no return address. I don't even read magazines! I had lost my debit card and got a new one, thank God, and now they are calling my phone with these uneccessary bullying tatics telling me that they are sending my case to collection agency for $1400. Something about I agreed to a 5year contract. They will never see that money. I have sent a dispute to the BBB, and all three credit agencies. I pray someone reads this and learns from my mistake.

The same thing happened to me except I NEVER agreed to check out their services! The guy who called said he wanted to give me the $100 gift card for "being a good customer" (referring to my visa card). He said there was no obligation to me, I just needed to verify my address for him to send my $100 card. I very hesitantly gave him my address. Then I start seeing all these charges to the card. $4.95 +$4.95 + $25.00 + $49.96 +$1.00 = $85.86 ! I called the 800 #'s on the charges to find out I was signed up for benefits programs and magazines, which was never authorized or even discussed! I had to cancel my visa card so the charges would stop and now I'm going through hell to try to get the charges reversed. I wish I could sue the pants off of everyone involved. This is totally misleading and fraudulent business!

7 years i have been a member of rewards central now there is a technical problem and i cannot complete any surveys. For some reason they think i am in another country.
I have contacted customer support and getting no response so what should i do? Does it take months or years to get support is there any.

I got a weird phone call from a man with an accent about three years ago claiming I had won something and he asked for my banking information. I said I couldn't give him my banking info and he could send me something in the mail if I won it and he hung up on me. I didn't ever check my online account because I always had a general idea of how much money I spent/had, but I realized my account was a lot lower than it should have been and I realized after a few months that I started having money coming out of my account and my bank figured out it was Central Rewards. The teller looked it up on the computer and saw all the complaints about them online and immediately cancelled my debit card and ordered me a new one. Then I started getting phone calls and bills of past due balances in the mail. Finally I started calling them over and over again and they said they were going to press harassment charges on me if I didn't quit calling and I said I'd press harassment charges on them for calling me more than once a day, plus fraud charges since I never authorized the transactions. They blocked my number after hanging up on me several times. This was over two years ago. Today, my ex husband, who works over an hour away from me, said his company got a bill in the mail with my name on it from them for almost $2, 000! I haven't been with him for years and he just got that job not too long ago. These people need to be stopped. They are taking money from innocent people and harassing them and whoever they know. It's ridiculous.

I just received a letter in the mail from Central rewards telling me I owe them $1398.88 and they will settle with me for $419.66 on a "Settlement Amount" with them...These people are actually getting away with "Robbery". I called them back after hearing their "little speech 2 days later and realized it was all about magazines...and told them "I did not want want any part of this "program" or whatever they want to call it. I even made a note the date I called them, the 1st time, and then called them back again 13 days later and spoke to a Supervisor and got his name, and he assured me the account was closed . This lady says to me today, how can you close an account that hasn't even been open yet, becausr the date on your letter is 2 days AFTER you cancelled the account! And by the way we don't have any men working here and that is not our number? So you need to send me a copy of your phone records that you actually called us then and fax them to me and we willl go from there...my response to her was NO! I want you to just SUE ME! Try getting your money from someone on Disability...she said we won't sue you, it will go on your record as a bad debit...I said OH REALLY...CAUSE I"M GOING TO SUE YOU! And she hung UP...I for one am tired of these people scamming us descent people!

They not only took the 1.99 x 2 that I was expecting, but also 9.99 and 25.00 (for some mag company that ! have no knowlege of). I've started a fraud claim with my bank and had my credit card cancelled and reissued with a new acct. number.

I've been unable to reach a human on the other end of any of the supplied numbers. Also, the tel no they provided to cancel the offer is ALWAYS at least a 20 min plus wait time. The call disconnected before my place in cue comes up.

The company called and said that I was awarded $200.00 in Gas! Little did I know that they would debit account for $2.95 processing fee 39.95 Membership fee and $25.00 one time fee for some stupid magazines. This company is a scam and really you DO NOT GET $200 BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SPEND $50 WITH DIFFERENT COMPANIES AND THEY WILL SEND YOU $25.00 EACH TIME. How do companies rip people off like this? How do they stay in business? I hope that this will help anyone and feel that I was scammed

I was told several times by the co. representatives that if I decided to cancel my membership I would still be able to use the $200. gas redemption vouchers. When I called to cancel they told me I had to be an active member to use them. I pointed out that was not what I had been told. I was told they could not help what I had been told and that it was incorrect. I later looked at my bank activity to see they had w/drawn $39.99 from my account even though I had cancelled. This was to pay for magazines I didn't want. I went to www.ultimatesavingsplus.com, used the user name and password and received message that they were invalid.
I am planning to contact the appropriate agency and report this.

Good for you.
