om g i got the savings 2 go sticker today in mail i dont remember even sig up for it...help
kathy_mccray1957@yahoo.com

I received the sticker in the mail like a month ago and shredded it thinking nothing of it. I was charged $14.95 and dont know why. They said i gave them my email address saying i wanted to sign up for this. How do you get my card number from my email address. Suspicious. They are suppose to refund me my money, but we will see.

Just discovered this on my account, 14.95. What the heck? I never got a call about this or anything! It's a business card I rarely use.

The only thing I have ordered was the Slap Chop online. I'm not saying it WAS them, but there is no other explanation. BE WARY!

If you receive a "savings 2 go" membership card call the number on the back ASAP and cancel this membership. Otherwise you WILL be charged! I received this same card and for some reason I had a weird feeling that I should check it out and see what this card was because I had not signed up for anything. I found this compliant board and read how you were all charged. So I called the company and they claimed that I checked a box saying I wanted to try their services when I was buying something on the internet on another website that had nothing to do with their company. Their is no way to prove that you did not check that box and they cannot even tell you which site you were on when you "checked the box." So call and cancel if you get this card in the mail to avoid charges. They are sneaky and its sad that this is the way they earn their money. Losers!

This is how it works. after buying something online or to some stores in partner with savings to go. some of your informations like your name, address, phone nos. & the last 4 digits of credit card will be kept. after several days or weeks comes savings to go using a third party which is a call center owned by christopher pallante & luciano castro, agents will call you telling that, you being a great customer using your credit/debit card that ends with # you are entitled to receive free gifts like a luxury vacation, a trip for two, gift certicates, etc..in exchange for trying the program savings to go. w/c costs you a little amount, maybe a dollar or two for a shipping & handling fee, now if you wont call the toll free no. to cancel the membership afer 10 days, you will be charge with those $49.95, 15.95 etc.. per month. unless you call to cancel.. get it, they will record your entire conversation as a proof that you agree with the terms & conditions for safety purposes. just be aware!
I hope these information would be a great help for you all..

I contacted Leisure Plus aka Savings to go at [protected]...It appears that when buying something last February from an infomercial. they had offered a $10 rebate for trying this service.. I had truly forgotten about it until I started getting$14.95 charges for both Leisure Plus and Savings to go..In talking to a representative named Kea today I insisted on cancelling the membership.. She was fine with cancelling the LeisurePlus and stating I would receive $14.95 back to my credit card within 7 days, however a bit hedgy when, while on hold, I was listening to their commercial and realized they too, were this Savings to Go, .so I asked her if they were one in the same and she hesitated to answer, however when I told her I had listened to their commercial while on hold, she admitted yes, they were and became defensive telling me that I agreed to the service and got a 10 dollar rebate on my product and confirmed the membership by logging in my email 2 times.. I proceeded to tell her that this had been a telephone order, I never got any rebates, and I never entered my email address anywhere.. She tried to reoffer me the program, I refused and she then said she would be happy to cancel my Savings to Go membership as well and again, refund this last $14.95 charge within 7 days.
So folks, use the number above, call them and cancel those unwanted -unauthorized memberships and charges.. Stay tough, they do try to convince you you asked for this.. Hope this has been helpful... Best of luck, .. Guess we all need to pay more attention when we are ordering on line or from infomercials but its no excuse to get taken for something either..

I too have been scamed by savings 2 go and liesure whoever! I purchesed the smooth away online and then 2 months later these 2 14.95 charges started to show on my bank acct! I had to file for fraud and close my acct and reopen a new one cause of them and oh yeah 2 moths later still no smooth away lol! dont order anything online for any as aeen on t. v. gimicks it will cost you alot of time to sort things out!

I work for a credit card company, if you see charges from savingstogo, WuYiTea, anything with the word "ACAI" in it or MIG netherlands, rewards savings center, please call your credit card company to open a dispute so they can be, first of all, credited back to you but secondly so they can all be tagged and eventually stopped from happening to anyone ever again, its ridiculous the number of calls I get about these charges showing up and especially on elderly accounts where they have all there bills come on their card each m onth but not merchandise purchases so they just write a check and dont look at statements until a year later and they see that they have been scammed for over a year for 14.95 or 19.99 a month over and over again. Also look out for small charges from paypal that have corresponding credits. dont think they are all credited, there will probably be 6 chgs and 5 credits, 7 charges and 6 credits, etc so they make you think it was a mistake and credited them all back on the same day when in reality they are sliding one through. Never feel afraid or stupid to call no matter how small the charge is, they could be "testing" to see if that smaller charge was able to go through, then why not each month or next time a larger charge. also its not a big deal to replace your card to get a new number, usually want to do that the first time with these types of charges because more often than not they will do it again even after the first dispute and credit and they will use another merchant number or company name but most likely be related somehow(after free trial, etc.) so just replace it and remember to call the few recurring billings you have set up to let them know your acct number will change, trust me, its worth the few minutes of prevention instead of having to call in each month to dispute again.

Happened to me too.
I saw $14.95 debit in my account.. This aass hole fraud should be caught immidiately.

My bank asked me to call [protected] .

The call center is ran by Christopher Pallante who lives in Florida while the site is ran by Luciano Castro. I got this info by talking to one of their agents. They look like they are running a bogus center, scamming many people.

looks like this Christopher Pallante guy has many bogus business. Luciano Castro maybe his sidekick. There two names always appear many places for fraud. I made a search, also some FAFS, newline platinum card was also a bogus business they have. Please please investigate them

yes, I agree with what was all said. I am a call center agent just resigned with this company, they have one here in the philippines located in cebu, all their accounts are fraud which misleadpeople in using their credit cards, I hope that the their activities would be investigated. They dont scam only their customers but also their employees.

I was also employed in this bogus call center (named cebu global teleservices inc) manage by luciano castro (he is now here in the cebu philippines) and owned by christopher pallate (the ceo) they don't pay good in their employees... hopefully fbi would take an appropriate action on this demonic people... if you want to know more about them., I would be very glad to help you in providing such infos about this people and the company because this call center must be closed asap to stop them from victimizing us people, please e-mail me @ impulse123reveal@gmail.com

its impulse123revea@gmail.com not impulse123reveal@gmail.com

This is why I always wait for the as seen on tv stuff to come out in stores — they make me nervous. I bought smooth away from cvs a while back for like $10, in cash. the product wasn't very effective but at least I didn't have problems like this, thank god. scary that it happened to you, though. thanks for telling us all about it. =)

Savings 2 Go is a clever SCAM: They attach themselves to an online $10 rebate for a product you are purchasing (from an infomercial). After submitting your credit card information for the product, you are only asked if you want a rebate. If you click "yes", then--every month-- a $14.95 charge appears on your credit card that you cannot account for.
BTW, you won't see your $10 rebate either. I sent them every computer receipt & printout I had & they simply said "not a valid receipt" They are BS (as in beneath ###)!
Call [protected] and demand cancellation. Then, call the Better Business Bureau.

unauthorized credit card charges were made using my credit card without my permission.

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT!

Christopher Pallante is just the owner of a call center, he is not the one responsible for the charges on your credit cards. Cebu Global Teleservices does the customer service for a lot of companies and they are not the ones putting the charges on your credit card, the best thing to do when you see a charge on your credit card that you dont recognize is to call the number on your bank statement and ask for a refund, reaserch the name of the company if you cannot get a hold of anyone, or call your bank and dispute the charge. Cebu Global Teleservices again is a call center that provides customer service for a lot of companies, the actual company is the one that charged you not the customer service provider. Please make sure you do your research well before you put blame on the wrong people!

I am stunned by all of the comments I have been reading. First of all each time you participate in any phone solicitation or TV infomercial purchase you will almost always be offered two or three other amazing deals...doesn't anyone listen to the telemarketer while ordering their snuggie or breadmaker? These companies only offer their services in this manner, which means whether you decline the offer immediately as it's being offered, cancel during your free 10 day/30 day trial, or wait to cancel after trying the program, you can no longer join. Over the past 15 plus years I have tried a number of these clubs for the $1 fee ranging from companies such as DEAL PASS, GREAT FUN & SAVINGS TO GO. I know from personal experience that these are not scam companies. Sometimes they are offered for a monthly fee ranging from $8.95 to $19.99 or sometimes it's the yearly fee. Either way it appears on your statement, it's the same as anything else...if you don't use it, it becomes a waste of money OR sometimes you simply forget you agreed to it while not paying attention and quickly run to FRAUD. That is a serious claim to make and I for one have saved hundreds of dollars using Savings2Go and can't believe my eyes. Over the years I have been able to save $5 on each gift card I bought to Target, KB Toys and saved upwards of $3 per movie pass. I can't believe how many people there are in the world complaining about the lack of money they have and then have the audacity to slam a company that tries to help you save money. Also, on your bank statements the phone number of the companies is listed (at least with Bank of America & Chase they were) and if you need an 800 number the company actually has the nerve to hide it in plain sight on their web site listed in your materials. I bumped into all of your complaints while I was googling it because I had forgotten my membership card at home. SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY OF YOU WHO OBVIOUSLY CAN'T BABYSIT THEIR PURCHASES OR TRIAL OFFERS YOU CAN SIMPLY DECLINE THE OFFER AT THE TIME IT'S OFFERED. ANYTHING I HAVE FELT I DID NOT NEED I DECLINE AT THE TIME AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM! PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ACCEPT IF YOU CAN'T TRUST YOURSELF TO CANCEL IT.

This is complete rubish. CGTS, Inc. is the company being dishonored and incorrectly portrayed as a mis-guided or fraudulent enterprise. I have worked for CGTS, Inc for over one year and it is quite clear that the comments left on this site by people who did minimal research into their fraudulent charges show CGTS, Inc and Mr. Pallante and Mr. Castro as the culprits. With proper research, it is plain to see that CGTS, Inc. is simply a domestic and off shore BPO company that ONLY provides customer support services for a wide array of global companies. CGTS, Inc does not own products or other companies. CGTS, Inc only offers phone assistance and support; and provides these services to upwards around 25 different orgranizations. CGTS, Inc does, in fact, research the organizations it handles support for however, cannot be held liable for all actions these other organizations take part in. If you feel there has been an injustice or fraudulent charge with an organization we handle business with, the best action to take is to lodge a compliant with that company or contact the organization through the bill discriptor you find on your credit card statement.

i want to get my hands around there neck

I got a call from a lovely young gentlemen shortly after purchasing some shoes online. He offered me an opportunity to TRY a program free. I gladly obliged, received my sticker, and unlike you [censor]s actually READ about the programs. Turns out you actually save a ton of money when you use them, instead of crying about them like slow kids. If I were you, and was illiterate or bereft of hearing, I probably just would not give my credit card out. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU. AND I HOPE YOU NEVER GET YOUR MONEY BACK. SAVINGS 2 GO IS AWESOME. LEISURE PLUS 4 LIFE.

and all you cry baby's quit acting like your doing something and do something

I just noticed the charge today for 14.95 per month to Savings to go on my credit card. Unfortunately It has been going on since 2008. I never agreed to the charge. I am a teacher who trust their bank, and only receives e statements so do not check my bill. Thankfully I did. Finally got a hold of Savings 2 go. the rudest people I have ever talked to. The supervisor actually hung up on me when I asked how she slept at night. No refund they said. Too bad. These are the most arrogant people I have ever talked to. What can be done to get them out of business? Please help. I am on a mission.

I see on my bank statement that $8.00 is being taken out of my account twice.I need to cancel this and the $16.00 be return to my checking account as soon as possible.Because nobody said that I had to pay anything more than the 11.80 for the product.So please this savings 2 Go and return my money.Thanks

You really need to investigate this. the company's owner is CHRISTOPHER PALLANTE. the managers who are assigned to handle his company are couples LINKE JN PAUL and TASHA JN PAUL. it's really unfair that a couple is running the company because of some biases! and to think, they don't know how to treat employees well especially TASHA JN PAUL! they're unprofessionals. So people help me please. If you know where I can report these people that I mentioned. All of the employees really want them off the company. Help Me please. They're treating us badly.

In no way are any of you being scammed. Fact of the matter is you called a business partner of one of these companies and ordered a product or ordered online and they offered you a 30 day free trail... One you accept it you will be billed you forgetting to cancel is not a scam its you not bring careful with your accounts. You just provide your information to be signed up into the plan. So please quit blaming others because of your lack of attention to detail.

how do i cancel this i do not want them taking my money

Learn how to check your statement and listen very carefully at what is being offered and ask questions. This is normal adult descions that make common sense. Use them when you get into things like this. Get down names, numbers, what was offered and when to call in to cancel. Jesus christ be an adult and quit complaining because you cant check your statement until your in a financial crisis!

I am so sorry this has happened to you guys! I completely understand because I worked there for about 2 weeks. They tell people they have to send the stuff back in order to get their money back but they actually don't. I am trying to figure out how to make a website to let everyone know about this scam. You would not believe how many people call in about their bank accounts being charged because they "didn't read the fine print!" So many elderly folks call in, and if they just tell them they don't want anything else from the company, they don't even let them know that they need to send the product back in order to get their money. And really they don't have to send it back. I have the info on how to get your money back in account when you call and speak with someone. If anyone has a clue on how I can get this info out there and to get people to stop ordering form these companies, please let me know. Thanks and God bless.
