Budget service source
I am filing a complaint against this company because I called on 11/27/2023 ahead of time to cancel this service. I had spoken to Mr. Paulo with the company, and he said they couldn't locate my name or my address in the system, Mr. Paulo said maybe the quest was never entered into the system. I asked for his name, he gave only his first name and I asked for his last name, and he said I didn't need that. So I asked If something had come to my home or if money taken from my bank account and he yes. This company lied to me about my information was not in the system, but on 12/5/2023 this company withdrew money from my account and now refused to refund it. I am asking for my money to be refunded back into my account.
Thanks;
Marie Scott

Unauthorized credit card charges
My mother has been charged twice as I can see for a service that she never signed up for. I can't get anyone to answer the phone. My mother is 89 and she doesn't have that kind of money. I see that there are numerous complaints of fraud. I believe that her credit card number has been hacked. There are no invoices or anything that I can find. Just several charges.
Desired outcome: I want her to get her money back and this company to be charged with fraud.
unauthorized credit card charges
we have no clue what this charge was for nor did we sign up for anything we looked at our bank staement and seen something called budget source took 30 dollars from us and it had a phone number so we called it and got no help at all. we noticed all this on the 7th of august of 2021
Desired outcome: we would like the charges to stop and a full refund for what ever these services are that we have never used

Unauthorized and scamming charge
I never used the website www.programstop.com. But 4 weeks ago, I found out that these scammers took $98.78 from me. I immediately found their phone and started to call, but each time the machine answered. Also I sent them several emails, but no one of course replied. I have no idea what measures to take now, and therefore I hope that someone can help me. I...

Illegally charged my credit card 3 months so far
For Three months my credit card account has been billed 424.95 for god knows what. When I guestioned the number on my bill I got mumbling --no direct answers or satisfaction!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
stole my debit card info
Company with web site www.programstop.com debited my bank account with out me knowing. So far that I have found its for a total of $50.00. I am a single mother of two, just lost my job and having to fight for my unemplyment. This is something I cant afford like most people in our country we are pinching pennys. These people need to be stopped.
Lets try this again. I've said it before, will say it again Dont Give Out Your CC Information to anyone then you wont put yourself in this situation & Think about your finances & Your Children before You go online & Indulge Yourself in shopping sprees you clearly could'nt afford.
Questionable monthly charges
I am being charged $1.95 / month by this company and another $1.95 by Pro FunSource Monthly for services I have no idea about. I suspect it's related to a "free" subscription for Hydrolyze cream. While ordering the free trial for this under-eye cream the recorded message bombarded me with offers for about six other products I had no interest in and one that came with a "free" $80 gift card for either Targets or Walgreens. I believe I said yes to that offer but it had nothing to do with the products offered by these companies - bicycle lights, is just one example I can remember from their website. THIS IS A SCAM to separate us from our money a little at time like my two $1.95 charges that they probably hoped would go unnoticed for many more months - or $19.95 a month like I see on some other complaints. The company should be put out of business asap because their only "service" is to make people cynical about ordering products over the phone. I might have considered keeping the Hydrolize subscription if it did, indeed, work to remove the bags under my eyes, but now I consider them part and parcel of one big scam and I am cancelling that order today. STAY AWAY FROM PRO VALUE, PRO FUN, AND HYDROLIZE - IT'S NOTHING BUT A SCAM!

unauthorized charges to my debit card
From July to October, I have been charged $24.95 ($74.85 total) for something I did not subscribe or authorized. I do not know who this company is or never talked to anyone there. My bank gave me their 800 number. I called but no one was there. I will try again monday (oct 18, 2010). I want my money back, and I willing to press charges against them. Please tell me why can I do.

From looking at all of these complaints how are they still not being presecuted ? I ayone has ideas on how to stop them please let me know.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I was balancing my checkbook and found that this company had taken $19.95 from me for the last few months. I called the number on my statement and the people were very vague about what they represented or how they got my card information. I had to cancel my debit card and now my bank is disputing these charges. I don't understand how this company can keep doing this to people! Watch out for these people. I contacted the Better Business Bureau about them.
I found a 1 dollar charge pending on my account--it had a phone number--they are not open so i accessed their website and found all these complaints from others. Please tell me how to stop these thieves.
I filled out the program stop form. It sailed through the computer. I realized I did not indicate the membership to be discontinued. I filled out the form a second time, with all the information including the program to be dropped. The email would not leave my computer. I thought maybe there was a limit to how many times you could use the form. I went and did other things on the computer and retrieved the program stop form. I completed the form, tried to send it and I could not submit the form. This is the first time I have been scammed on the computer. It is frustrating. Thanks for giving us a place to complain. J.F. Pikiell jpikiell@aol.comm

I also am filing suit for fraud, identity theft, and contacting the better business bureau. In addition, I will contact major news networks and anyone else who will stop these criminals. I will be contacting my bank first thing Monday AM and will give them the authority to pursue what course they need to take as well.
I have been taken for $19.95 twice each month for the last 5 months, thats $200 of my hard earned money.
I too do not know how they received my information but
I am confident a good lawyer and a class action suit can find out. Missy

As far as I can tell on my computer this company has been ripping me off since June of 2008. I will have my bank check my records further and notify me with the date when your company started ripping me off and I will expect a refund of all monies stolen from me plus all of the NSF charges occurred during this time you theiving ###.
This company has taken $23.90 from my checking account. Also when they tried to take money when my balance was too low I was charge $25.00 from my bank this has happened four times to the sum of $100.00 I would like this and the $23.90 refunded. A total of $123.90. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WITHDRAW ANY MORE FUNDS MY BANK HAS BEEN NOIFIED. I also have notified the authorities and My Attorney in this matter. If I do not receive a refund I will continue with legal maters. Further more I am investigating my banking history to see if any other withdraws were made.
unauthorized charges & membership
I do not know what I am being charged for! I looked at my statement, and they charged me $126 plus monthly $19.95 membership fees. I want them reported to the BBB and FTC>
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have canceled this membership every month for about 5 months. When I get them on the phone they agree to stop charging me, but continue to submit charges to my credit card each month. This fraud, I never ordered the their services. When I order things from HSN on TV they ask if you want to try these services. I always say No. I get charged anyway.
What can I do to get my money back from these frauduent companies.
This WC Essentials [protected] is collecting automatically from my checking account the amount of $16.95 2x/month. I called the number and i reached /according to the recorded message that it is Program.Stop.com. I have reported it to my bank to block these unauthorized charges and report them to Better Business Bureau. These people are scams/thieves.

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have been charged $14.95 for almost 2 years before I noticed it on my statement. I canceled my card. When I called them and asked what they are she said it was for coupons. Has anyone ever been reinbursed for all the money they were ripped off?
This company has committed fraud. No idea how they got my charge and have been since 9/10, 10/10 and 11/10 charged $19.95 a month for something never heard of. Contacted credit card company and they are investigating as fraud. Tried to submit cancel and request money back and gives web error and won't go through. Called and said not there and go to www.programstop.com. Have no idea what this is about. Will be contacting my other accounts about this company.
What the Hell is this? I go to my account to find $24.95 gone to some place I have no knowledge of nor did I give permission to. I called the number and here I am on this website reading how these people have been doing this type of thing to alot of other people. How can this be ? Are there no laws to protect us consumers from fraud of this caliber?I am livid and this will n ot be the end of this for me.
unauthorized debit
In reviewing my transations, I came across a $19.95 charge. I have no idea what this is for. I don't do group discount offers or anything else of the sort. I called the number provided on the statement and was directed to programstop.com. I then filled out the caccellation form. It seems they know that this is a scam because the only info available is how to cancel.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I just want to know, did the charges stop after you filled out the online form? I have called and emailed to cancel; they have reimbursed my charges, but then I just got charged again this month. I'm sick and tired of this and want to know if the online form to stop worked for you.
I'm only hesitant to fill it out, because then they'll have my address and phone number to go with my credit card number.
In looking over our bank drafts from the past couple of days we noticed a charge for 69.99 and the only information on it was programstop.com.
I think it's pathetic that people actually have a phone number associated with this scam of a company.
I will make sure to get to the bottom of this.

Read full review of ProgramStop.comunauthorized debit from my bank account
I am like all the others, unauthorized debit from my accounts. I have called three times and they still appear. How do they get away with this? After being on hold for 10 minutes for the third time I get someone who is vague and of course asking for my credit card # as they cannot find me by my name, ph#, etc., same story as before. I now keep this account to the minimum as I think I am being stolen from. At this point after finishing this complaint I'm going straight to the Better Business Bureau and Internet Fraud. I am going to report them and will continue to do so if any other charges appear on my statement. I'm really, really mad!
unathorized charge
I received my credit card bill for Oct and I have charge for $19.95 on 9/6/08 and $1.99 on 9/7/08. I called the number on my statement and all I get is a machine saying to go to programstop.com. I went to it and filled out the form to cancel what ever it was I supposely have a memebership to. I hit enter and it says this website has a programming error. I am angry. I have no idea who or what this company is and why I was charged. I will keep calling and filling out form on internet to get them to stop charging my credit card. I don't know what else to do. ! I am on a very budget income and can not afford this my credit card is only for emergency like if i break down in my car. I am so angry!
My credit card was charged $24.95, and I don't even know, who you'll are, nor what you'll are, other than, SCAMMERS.
I want my money credited back to my account ASAP.
If not I'll be in touch with the, BBB...and have my Lawyer sue this co. for the 24.95 plus alot more!
And I mean each and every word of it!
Nancy Russell
This ia a very active account that I keep paid up(except during the holidays), through my neglect these people made 8 charges to my Discover card of $24.95 each. Am now in touch with Discover. Doubt I'll get any money back, but want to make sure they don't get any more.
I was told that I would get a 14 day trial but was charge before the trial period ended.
I'm going to stop payment to this company and file sue if they continue to draw money out of my account.
I'm a low-income senior citizen I don't have much money as it is. My social security isn't very much now.
I think that this company should be shut down for fraud.
Mary Palmisano
I was scammed the same way. For the past three months a charged of 24.95, from a company called Coupon Connect. I never heard of this company before or used their services, and I don't know HOW THEY GOT MY INFO. I reported this company to my local BBB and my credit card company, and they are taking action. Ya! I wont my money back, but I really wont their address. HELLO! GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER! Christopher Brooks, - Washington, DC
for the last 4 or 5 months you have charged me 24.95, and I don't know what it is for . I want you to stop charging my credit card, cancel it. and credit my card back. I believe I called you before and canceled the same thing. I will get in touch will my credit card company to let them know you are charging me with out my consent and they will take action on you. Happy new year! thank you Peggy Harris.
charges
This website has charged $16.95 to my credit card two months in a row now. I want to know how they got all my information needed to do this. This is fraud! I have never used their services, in fact, I don't even know what services they offer. This is not right.
I checked my bank account and there was charge for $24.95. I do not know these people. This is Sunday and when I called the telephone number they sent me to this web site.
ProgramStop is taking 19.99 from my credit card.I dont know what this is.How can i get my money back from them
I ordered some Lipezene. The people told me I would be getting free magazines and never received any now they are taking 19.95 out of my account and I want it stopped!
There were 2 charges on my bank account from these people. I called them and they said that I clicked on something through Yahoo.com. and agreed to be part of some membership - I told them that I never clicked on anything. They said that they'll put the money back in 7-10 business days. I told the rep. that this is a crock of s ---! Now if that money is not back in my account 2 checks may bounce. I told them that they will be liable for those bounced checks and hung up on them.
I have know idea who you people are! I noticed the 19.95 charge on my credit card and called the 800 number of course not open! I want to be reimbursed for the two charges on my card! Maybe a call to the better business bureau is in order!
a program was on tv that said they were giving free cream to take winkell and just pay shipping charges with were 5.95 a one time charge. i put it on my visa card and they are charging my visa card 16.95 three times now and i have got nothing in the mail from them.. and i know i better get all my money put back on card asap or i will contact my brother who is in cia and charges will be file aggaint them. i will sue them for everything and they will do some time in the big house.
Dear PediPaws,
You get locked into a value customer program without legal authorization, and they start taking money out of
your account at 19.95 a month .this is called fraud, it better stop NOW_ ASAP .I will also be letting my bank know.
Order # 251391 - For the PediPaw --Better Be Cancelled with the Value Customer program. ASAP .Do Not Touch My Bank Acct.
I ORDERED A PRODUCT AND GOT A MEMBERSHIP I DID NOT WANT. IT'S GETTING SO YOU CAN'T EVEN ORDER ANYTHING OFF THE COMPUTER WITHOUT SOME FRAUD COMPANY ALSO CHARING YOUR ACCOUNT. THEY STEAL ALL YOUR INFORMATION AND USE IT WITHOUT PERMISSION.
NOW I AM TRYING TO CANCEL SOMETHING I DID NOT WANT BUT WILL NOT GO THRU. EVEN BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CREDIT COMPANY ABOUT THIS.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE COMPANYS THAT DO THIS.
I have been charged for this service of 19.95 a month don't even know who authorized this transaction or for what I am paying for...
i dont even know you people you charged my card without my permission and i would like to have all my funds refunded to me and replaced on my card a.s.a.p!
They are thieves
Somehow they got my cell # & my VISA #. I only deal w/secure online sites. So they call verify my name, then tell me they are sending me vouchers for gas, food, car rentals, travel, etc... & will only charge a buck for the 1st 30 days then $19.95/mo. I tell them no they will not & how did they get my ph. & card #'s & who the hell is this, click they hang up 3weeks later I get "my membership" info & if I would like to cancel please call [protected]. I called & the recording said to go to www.programstop.com. Obviously there is no such website cuz' here I am. They stole my ID info now they're trying to steal my $$. If there is or will be a class action suit I'm in.
I ordered the Nubrilliance from one of those TV adds and then I get these phone calls saying they were sending me all this membership crap to other things I didnt want. They charged $1 a time 3 times and I had to wait to receive whatever crap they mailed to get the membership number to cancel. I told them I wasnt interested when they called but they wouldnt shut up. I cancelled 2 of them but then a 3rd was charged of $29.95 to my credit card today. I did call the 1-800 and emailed them and they said it would be cancelled and the refund would go back on my card. I hope it does because its such a hassle calling the credit card to dispute it and then cancel that card and get another.
just want to add that the television ad states that it is a risk free trial all you pay is shipping & handling and they are giving away 1.000, 000 free bottles. I haven't been billed yet, but this just happened about a week ago. I just received the budget savers stuff in the mail today, called and cancelled. Hoping and praying it doesn't go any further, will keep you posted!
I also received these things, was trying to order a bottle of CELTRIXA. I told these people repeatedly that i wanted nothing else andf I asked them over and over to be sure and clear, that I only wanted the one bottle of celtrixa they assured me that's what i would get and i got 3 bottles! with a paper saying i owed then 70.00$ a bottle, i flipped out. I have now learned not to order anything over the phone or internet.
I too was promised a gas card and other vouchers, but have not seen a card, vouchers, or any memebership information, yet they are still taking the $19.95 from my social security disability. I am now trying to cancel this b.s., and then I am going to notify my local press to inform them of what is going on here, so they can warn others!
Programstop.com
My credit card was also charged 99.99 for "WC Cooking In Style" on March 13, 29008. (I do not even cook!) When I called the number [protected], the recorder said that I reached "Programstop.com". When I went to check this out on the web, I came to this link full of complaints. I do not know these people, but I plan to let my credit card companies know...
