PosterPass.com reviews and complaints

I was called by my bank Sunday evening telling me a $79 charge appeared on my account. This was from posterpass.com. I had orderd posters from posters.com about a year ago and canceled it because it didn't state that it was a membership. I sent the posters back and they did stop the membership. Why am I being charged now when I never even bought anything. I will be calling them this morning, but someone better stop this.

I ordered 4 poster from poster pass.com. under the pretest by the company . The first tree were free. Then 2 days later I received three more. Until the total was 11 . My credit card was charged39.80 five times. This total on my acct is 199.00. Then I requested UPS to return posters and I have not heard from Posterspass.com

Anyone considering this product, please dont.

Ditto what all the other reviews say. Wish I'd read them first. Tricked into ordering while responding to another sweepstakes that came in through a job training class. Beyond ripoff, outright theft. The people behind this scam are greedy detriments to the human race. We're all trying to survive here, why not choose to make money honestly? No doubt what comes around goes around, so they'll get theirs.

hi, there is no complain, only a mistake I din't sign for a membeship, and You Guys keep sending me posters, I dont want any more posters, please take me out of your list and dont get money out my acount no more... thans...

After receiving and canceling receipt of poster, started receiving them again, out of the blue. When I called them they said I had indeed ordered them and that I would have to pay for them. Beware, not trustworthy.

they said i won a prize, so i got 4 free posters for 2 dollars, so they have been billing my bank 3 times one for 48.00 on 4-1-08 then on 4-8-08 for 48.00 then on 4-16-08 for 48.00. i think that i am being scamed how do i go about taking this off of my account i do not want to pay this. thank you

PosterPass.com has charged me over $80 for posters that I have not received nor expected to have to pay a membership in order to be a part of and they have not refunded the money owed to me back into my account as promised. They "graciously" sent me an email canceling this alleged "Membership".

I was charged $48.00 on three separate occasions, by posterpass.com aka homearts direct, in the same month, for a total of 10 posters. The original agreement was that the first 4 posters were to be $2.00 each. Then I was to receive 2 additional posters per month at the price of $9.95 each. They sent me a total of 10 posters in one month without any warning and charged me a total of $144.00. I feel ripped off.

This company offered 4 posters for $2. Got billed twice for $48.00 for my $2 posters. I called to cancel and they canceled but did not repay the last $48.00 to this day. This is a scam! Do not give these people your cc info!

I clicked out of this program before it was complete because I changed my mind. They were supposed to send me 4 posters for $8.00. They charged me $34.00 for first shipment (which I returned), then they sent me two more shipments and charged me $48 each. I did not authorize any of these yet they keep charging me and I keep returning them. This company is a complete rip off.

They took the $16 then the next day $39.95 then an hour latter another $39.95 which caused my overdraft on all charges.They claimed to have tried to return my funds back in September and claimed again to be sending yesterday, today and tomorrow.I received nothing and I am out $180.00.

I had the same problem-I canceled my credit card after their first ripp off, then I got online to the Illinois and N.Y. attorney generals office and filed a complaint. It took about 2 months but they did send me a refund for the $79. DON'T LET THESE ### RIP YOU OFF! Go to the attorney generals website in your state and in their state and file a complaint, they will go after them for you. It's easy and it does work! Good luck!

Checkout my post I have info on filing fraud charges with an Attorney General. If you can get a new card like I did to stop them from getting anymore money from you. Your not alone on this scam!

Ms. Lee A. Hill-Miles

Ordered 4 posters advertised at $2.00 each. Was charged $39.00. When I called, they said there were shipping charges of $31.00! Then they charged me another $48.00. Nothing else was ordered. When I called, I was told that another shipment had been made. It was not authorized. I requested a full refund of the $48 as well as a refund of the $31 overcharge. Told them I would return whatever came. They said they would refund and I should see the credit in 3-5 business days. Believe me, I will be watching for it. I also requested that we be deleted from their system along with my credit card info.

Posterpass.com is a Fraud! I was charged for the 25 dollars for 5 posters the next day I was going to cancel the membership but I got another box 2 posters for 40 buck and they were closed by the time I got off work so I called and cancelled the membership but they told me that they already charged me for another box of 2 posters for 40 buck but if i didnt want them that I could just send them back. the next day I went to the post office and mailed them back WITH A TRACKING NUMBER! on 5-1-09 they received the posters back. I called them and they said that they haven't gotten the posters and that the post office holds the returns and they go to pick them up once a week, I taught that was fishy but whatever. I called back in a week cuz they never returned my money. They told me that it was going to take 2 weeks to make the transactions back to my credit card. I work 70 hours a week so It was very hard to keep on top of this but I called 3 weeks later and talked to some who said that they never had my posters returned, I said ###! I have a tracking devise on the packages and they were received by them over a month ago! she asked for the numbers to conferm that they were indeed received, and then told me that it would be 2 weeks more for my money back...long story short after 2 1/2 months I called the credit card and filled a dispute and they took the tracking numbers and got me my money back just after 3 months of them receiving my returned posters. I have also contacted the attorney general but they sent me a letter back saying that they sent my complaint to some other agency. Yesterday I got a letter from the department of federal trade saying that my complete was noted but until there is a lot more complaints of poster pass they wont do anything! We should all do a class action law suit or everyone take posterpass to small claims for the max in your state, IA is 5, 000 so If everyone that they have screwed over took them to small claims they would lose a lot of money in lawyer fees, travel, and then what ever you get rewarded back in your claim! And hopfully go bankrupt!

Internet pop-up stated i had won a major prize. I agreed to a questionnaire. Among the offers was for 3 posters for $2 each. I was charged against my visa account for $42.29 have not paid the bill (yet).

I HAD 5 CHARGES ON MY DEBIT CARD AFTER ORDERING 4 POSTERS FOR $2 A PIECE. THERE WAS ONLY A PARTIAL PHONE NUMBER ON MY BANK STATEMENT SO I COULD NOT CALL PP. I CALLED MY DEBIT CARD PROVIDER AND THEY DID A CONFERENDCE CALL AND THE MAN FROM PP TOLD US SOME SONG AND DANCE MY ACCT WOULD BE CREDITED BY BLA, BLA, BLA. MY SIDE INFORMED HIM I USED A DEBIT CARD AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN CREDIT IMMEDIATELY. THEY DISCUSSED BILLING CYCLES BUT I DO THINK MY SIDE WORKED IT OUT.

Beware of this website. They lure you in with an offer of 4 posters and 4 mugs for 8 dollars and no shipping cost. The offer requires you to sign up for a membership you can cancel anytime but terms of the membership are such that you will be billed twice a month for additional posters with no mention of frequency charges. I made the mistake of signing up for this thinking I could get the good deal and cancel out as I'm sure other have, but they will debit your account for the "semi-monthly" shipments at the same time as the 8 dollar charge unless you sign into their website and change the "semi-monthly" frequency immediately. I was charged for two addtional shipments in less than 48 hours after ordering the 8 dollar deal. So, buyers beware, this is a scam, the wording of their terms and conditions are very misleading. I am fortunate enough that I can take this small monetary loss without any issue and my bank most likely will refund me before the posterpass.com site does. I know from experience unexpected debits from checking accounts can cause overdrafts and therefore additional charges to consumers and I'd hate for this to happen to someone else. Furthermore, the persons I spoke to on the phone for this site know this is a scam and have no shame for what they are doing and to do such a job is dirty and can only be done by people of questionable character.

I went to check my online bank account yesterday.
I should have had over one hundred dollars within my checking account.
To my surprise, I had only $12.00 in my checking account.
I immediately checked the activity of my transactions to see what was going on.
I discovered that a company called posterpass.com had illegally withdrawn $79.00 from my account on two separate occasions over the holiday.

Until yesterday I had never heard of this company.
I have never ordered anything from them or given them permission to take money from my account.

I am not going to be able to return to work on Monday due to lack of funds.
Since I can’t return to work on Monday, I will also have to forfeit my thanksgiving holiday pay as well.
I don’t even have Gas money for the coming week because of these people.
Thanks for stealing from me PosterPass.com.

You have needlessly stolen money from my checking/debit account and in doing so, have provoked me into taking legal action against your company.

I will no longer use my debit card online.
Cash will be the new standard for paying my bills.

I contacted them back in April 2017 regarding the excessive posters and charges. I canceled my membership with them and paid for the posters I received. I refused acceptance of any additional shipments by talking to my UPS driver and telling him to return any further shipments to sender. I spoke with a woman named Rebecca at [protected] and I was credited for the additional charges and was assured my membership was canceled.

On 11/30/09...a $79 charge authorization dated 11/26/09 appeared suddenly on my account. I called Posterpass.com immediately at [protected] and left a voicemail message regarding the charge. I did not receive a call back as the recording stated I would. Subsequent calls were met with an "all circuits are busy" message. I called again the next day and the voicemail stated they were not available and to leave a message and then stated the voicemail was full and to try again later. I continued to get a mixture of the two messages for the remainder of the week. I tried them again today and there was no answer, no voicemail, no nothing.

So...I refered back to the notes I kept (for some reason) from April. I had found that Art Print World and ClassicDecorDirect.com were the same company as Posterpass.com and I also had THEIR toll free numbers [protected] and [protected] respectively). I called them and again received no answer or voicemail at either number. So I attempted to reach "Rebecca" [protected]) who is supposedly the "director of customer service" that I spoke to in April and again there was no answer, voicemail or anything.

I finally called Brian Dale at Peel Inc. AGAIN like I did back in April. He is supposedly the big cheese of this whole company. I was met with a phone tree system directing me to press 6 for customer service...of course, no answer and no message. I called back and this time I left a message for Brian Dale himself regarding this issue. That was about 2 hours ago. Their business hours are over now and I wonder if I'll hear back from anyone tomorrow. If not, I will have to dispute the charge and hope that this is the end of it. Oh...by the way, the phone # for Brian Dale at Peel Inc. is [protected].

I noticed a PO Box listed for their address in the original complaint but the physical address they had back in April is
990 Grove St. Ste 204
Evanston, IL 60201

Good luck to anyone who is still having to deal with this company after canceling membership.

I have found 2 charges from this company on my credit card one on 11/2 ($79.79)and the other on 11/24($79.00). I cancelled my membership over 7 months ago. I have been trying to contact the company...no luck. So I thought I would check for another number googled the name and found this! I tried the direct number given in an earlier comment to B Simmons no luck with that number---says all circuts are busy. Wonder why?!

All righty then... Yes these people are ###! I did do business with them and cancelled my account about 4 months ago. they have charged my account 79.00 each week for the last 3 weeks. I emailed Brian Dale and he responded stating my refund would be in, in 72 hours...then my account gets charged again! So... here is what you do...
Call you bank and cancel your card!
Go to your bank and get a dispute of funds fill it out and give it to your bank.
When you are at the bank also get an affidavit of fraud ...take it home and call your local police department to file a police report.
Call the Secret Service in your area and talk to the Financial Crimes Department.

Please everyone that is reading this that has had an issue with the following but not limited to:
posterpass.com
peel.com
Seattle Coffee Direct

follow up. No one needs their money stolen right now... Christmas...bad economy... even if you have spare money... some United States Citizens don't!

Thank you for you time,
Michele

I'm right there with you, buddy. They did the same to me. They don't answer the phone or respond to any of the messages i left. I cancelled my card and my bank says I have to file a police report or they won't dispute the charges. I hate this company.

I originally clicked on the Mystery Shopper on the AT&T website and eventually it lead me to this PosterPass.com. Well, my daughter loves posters and it said 5 posters for $25. So, I ordered them. She received them and loved them. However, it said nothing about automatically signing me up for a monthly subscription with no choice over the posters to pick. Since that first initial charge on 05.05.08 for $25, I have been charged $47.80 on 05.12.08; $47.80 on 05.19.08 and $47.80 on 06.04.08. So a total of $168.40 has been debited from my account without my authorization and I am on disability and a fixed income. I have tried to find a website to contact them to get my refund, but no such luck. In addition, my bank said since they had my debit card information there was nothing they could do to help me out even though it was due to no fault of my own. PS: They also charge under Home Arts Direct so check your bank statements closely.

Please someone let me know if you have a website address or phone number for this scamming company so I can get my money refunded before I have to take legal action.

Thank you and God Bless!

I purchased some posters for my nephew on a trial basis. I was to have 30 days to cancel before being sent any more posters. I received my order in 6 days. 4 days later I was charged for posters I didn't order. It is going on 5 months and I still don't have a credit to my card for their deliberate rip-off.

I ordered the trial offer of 5 posters for $8. They immediately started sending poster sets out everyday. I could not get them stopped until they had charged over $600 on my credit card which I cannot get refunded!

They charged my account for $79.00, which was NOT auhtorized. They scam you! Do NOt order from them EVER!

The introductory offer is for four 'museum-quality' posters for $8.00 plus four mugs. I received the items in a timely manner - the mugs were not what I expected and the packaging was haphazard...two of the posters were creased since all items were in a single box. The posters were of standard quality - nothing special about the printing or paper to identify them as 'museum-quality'. I had read the fine print and knew I would be receiving additional items (two posters would be shipped automatically at regular intervals at a cost of $39.80 each - who KNEW what the subjects of the prints would be?) - I called customer service immediately (the same day as receipt of the introductory shipment) and cancelled my membership - as directed. The representative told me that another shipment had already been sent! She said my membership was cancelled as of that phone call and I could return the shipped items. I did so as soon as they arrived, handing them back to my mail carrier in my driveway - they never entered my home - on Aug. 28th. One month later I call posterpass.com - the representative said they had not yet received the return and, once they did, it would still take 60-90 days to process a credit to my card. Another month passed and two $79 charges were posted to my credit card by posterpass.com. I called posterpass.com again and they will not answer their phones - "all representatives are busy, please leave a message". I am disputing more than $237 worth of charges to my credit card, not including interest, thanks to this disgrace of an organization. PLEASE BE ADVISED - DO NOT GO NEAR THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

In March 2009 placed order with this company, upon receiving order discovered it was a subscription basis, immediatley cancelled with assurance from this company there would be no further billing, now 9 months later November 2009, they withdrew $79.00 from my Bank account, have been calling constantly ALL day, keeping getting all reps are busy please leave message, and NO ONE will return my calls.

Over a yr ago I ordered 5 posters for $5 each. I was then charged a $39.00 membership fee when there was no mention of a membership. Over a month later I finally got the refund. Haven't heard from them since. Until 2 days ago I was charged $79.00 and now I have left messages and keep trying to call and have not spoken to anyone. How can they do this? Do not buy from them ever!

I began receiving these posters about a year ago and they were being delivered like every-other-day! The charges on my credit card were crazy. I was finally able to get someone on their phones after a couple weeks of calling 2-3 times a day, and they cancelled my 'account' which I don't recall signing up for. I don't remember receiving a refund, but didn't care at the time. Now, almost a year later... I've started getting the stupid posters again! I just know there are going to be charges to my credit card! This company is no doubt just a total scam.

I contacted them back in April 2009 regarding the excessive posters and charges. I canceled my membership with them and paid for the posters I received. I refused acceptance of any additional shipments by talking to my UPS driver and telling him to return any further shipments to sender.

Checkout my post and get info to file fraud charges. Your not alone on this!

Ms. Lee A. Hill-Miles

They've done it again, I'm the next fool to think I could get a good deal.

Here's the deal. $5 for 5 poseters. Cool, I'm going to decorate my kids room with some nature/amimal pictures. Bought decent frames w/ plastic to make a presents for my kids $20ea.

Well $5 for 5, meant $5ea.
With lifetime membership to just send posters and charge $37.80/4

Then you get mad, cancel the membership, & wounder what your going to do with these posters.

Cool, no more sucking on my account with out warning and no more posters arriving at my door.

Just today, online banking and what do I see?
Posterpass.com *ucking me!
I want to fine the CEO and put !@#$% in jail!

How can we stop this?

GO TO WWW.POSTERPASSFRAUD.COM
THERE IS A LAWSUIT GOING AGAINST THEM

posterpass charged my card $79.00 sent me some weird posters i never ordered overdrafted my account $70.00 wont return any calls i've made to them . i turned it to my bank they somehow were able to contact them and verify that they had my correct address and denied my claim. so now im stuck with $149.00 worth of charges what do i do. if i knew where these people were i would go there and kick some ###. anyone know the owners address or their name? if youve had this happen to you go to posterpassfraud.com

If you are still having trouble with them contact this person:

Brian Dale
briandale@peel.com

I got a $79 charge 1 1/2 years after I canceled my account. It took me some time trying to get in contact with these people, but Brian Dale says he is the "president" of the company and he told me I will have a refund within 72 hours. I have yet to see if that is true.

Good luck!

I agree. I responded to a 4 posters for $2 and in a month I have (8) Eight $79.00 charges on my credit card from PosterPass. I have received no response from any number I call nor an email I sent to Mr. Berman.

In essence, I paid $79 a poster at this point, since they keep sending me posters, two to a box and based on the charges that's what it comes to.

Avoid this company at all cost!

Its no doubt, this company is as fraudulent as the governing body that allows it to continue doing business. This has got to be the most heinous company out there today, with business practices so underhanded and fraudulent, i'm surprised they still exist. Take everyone for what you can as fast as you can is their practice. Ever heard of bankrape? Ever felt it? To know that someone without permission or at least underhandedly subtracted hard earned monies from your account in such a quick fashion, that by the time you knew what happened you were short a couple of hundred dollars. $40.oo for two poster at a rate of one package every two days, you can't even send them back that fast.
It's a scam. A trick. A sin. A travesty. It is whatever you want to call it and should be stopped and somebody from this company should be slapped with jail time.
Crooks! Crooks! Crooks! Shame on them and if the owner or his family should suddenly experience any type of hardship or tragedy i hope he knows EXACTLY why it is happening. Payback. Karma.
'nuff said.

ps
what good are negative reviews if their is no governing body to mediate and help resolve the problem. How many complaints does it take to penalize a company for theft (legal or not).

I'm dealing with these ### as we speak, luckly my bank when I use my Debit card puts a pre-authorized hold on these transactions, so i was able to realize whats going on. I just got off the phone with the bank and have canceled my card so these crooks cant steal anymore of my money even before I can talk to them. So far they have debited my account for $8.00+$39.80+$39.80=$87.60 for 4 posters what a joke. Now I have to wait till 10am to call these people and cancel my account, but atleast I have the piece of mind that they wont be able to bleed my account any further and I will dispute the charges with my bank once they post. Wonder if anyone has ever tried to email this jberman@posterpass.com? Although it is probably a fake email or doesn't except emails from outside people because this guys email would be blowing up. Hey Regor1234 im also from Florida, if you need anyone else from Florida to give the Gov Crist any more documintation don't hesitate than ask. These crooks need to be stopped and I will never ever buy anything else online from survey sites or publishers clearing house.

Got scammed by PosterPass.com

call your bank and complain. They will interfere on your behalf and dispute the charges. They will credit you the money(s) in dispute and go after posterpass.com for compensation.
You are not alone. Complain as much and as often as you can with this company. Eventually, it will pay off for the next consumer.

Let's put PosterPass.com out of business.

I haven't seen their ad on facebook, but if you go to their website, the advertisement says "5 poster for $5 Each". The terms also indicate that it is 5 for $5 each, and indicates that twice a month you will receive additional shipments.

Maybe all the complaints are paying off.

I found their terms to be reasonably clear, except in one spot they indicate a twice monthly shipment, and further down it says shipments may be "more or less than twice a month" (that needs to go - it opens the door to essentially saying they can send you what they want when they want).

It also says refunds will occur in 10 days, not 4 months, so somebody is trying to put you off.
