I did not authorize "Value Plus V" to debit any money from my checking account. I want a refund of all money that was illegally taken from my checking account.

I called this number and got a reply right away. Now I'm waiting too to see if I get my money back.

It was funny, the lady seemed to know what was going on and immediately refunded the money and cancelled the membership.
That other number was 'down'.

$16.95 deducted from checking account with authorization. Never heard of this company or bought anything from them. Bank is working with me to stop payment immediately and close current one. Another account open.

I had a charge on my credit card, when I called their 800 number they just told me they were a membership service for numberous companies. I ended up hanging up on them really ticked and called my credit card company. Luckily I caught the charge while it was still pending, my company marked it as a fraud and I am recieving all new cards in the mail. Not sure where this came from but it is a fraud..

I just happened to look at my credit card account on line and notice two charges for $19.95 each for WC Value Plus and Funsource. I called them to see who they are and got a very rude person. He would not explain who they were or what they do. He want my personal information, like name, address, etc... I didn't give it to him so he got even more nasty. I hung up and called my credit card company and filed a complaint and they are starting an investigation. My credit card company asked me if I had made any purchases on line and I said no. SO HOW IN THE HELL DID THEY GET MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER? These people need to be prosecuted and jailed.

Our bank told us the charge was from a "Buy on TV" campaign. The company offered a $5 credit on the purchase, then I was directed to another website that used the info to start billing us for WC Value Plus.

What Value Plus is doing is criminal in nature. If you order something online they appear to piggy back themselves to someone else's website and the consumer is caught off guard and in my case I have been charged $19.95 over several months with three credit cards in my posession. Let the buyer beware if they order online. After calling value plus I never did receive any compensation for their previous charges to my credit cards even though no further charges have occurred, but that is not to say that they will pick it back up if I'm ordering from some merchants website they are attached to. I don't believe the merchants are aware they are doing this. I believe we can put a stop to these people at value plus by either filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau from their national website or writing to the Attorney General's Office in the State of Minnesota, but one thing is for certain they must be stopped.

I was charged $16.95 on 1/15/2009. I don't know a Company name other than WC Value Plus. This is a fraudulent charge. How do I go about getting it removed from my bank records?

I have been checking my moms bank account because of some recent activity and found that each month Value Plus and Fun Source have each been taking $19.95 a month out of her account for at least the last 4 months. I have also found a 3rd company called Center 4 Grants and they have been taking $39.95 a month out of her account for 3 months and maybe more. This is ridiculous, I can't believe these companies get away with this! The worse part is when you go on their websites right on the front page it says, "If you are receiving unknown charges from our company go" and then it gives you another website or a reason, neither of which are valid. The point is they are admitting that they are taking money from our accounts yet we didn't authorize it and it does not give us the information we need to stop it.
EVERYONE BEWARE DO NOT GO TO THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES:
Value Plus
Fun Source or Family Fun Source
Center 4 Grants

I have been charged $16.95 for a membership to a company I've never heard of and I never authorized. They will not tell me where they got my credit card number from. They are supposedly going to send me a 'Refund Request Form' which I will never receive. The only way to stop the monthly charges is to go to the bank and cancel my credit card.

Why can't we stop these people? We need to start a class action lawsuit.

The company charged my credit card $19.95 for WC Value Plus and $19.95 for WC FunSource for 4 months without any authorization from me. Contacted them and they indicated they were canceling my subscription and that a form would be sent to me in reference to my refund. I indicated to the individual in which I spoke with on the phone, that I contacted my credit card holder and reported the fradulent charges.

My credit card was also charged $19.95. When I called them they said that a credit would be issued immediately. However, still nothing. I filed with my credit card company as unauthorized charge. In another area of Google it says that the company is located in Wheeling, West Virginia. I will write to the Attorney General of that state. I encourage others to do the same. Maybe, we could get them out of crooked business. Ray

Call the telephone number on your bank statement and raise "cain" they will tell you that you have bought something on the phone or on the internet and was offered and accepted a $25.00 "gift card" when I was told this I said I have NEVER received any gift card I was then told OH you have to "call" to get your card. Then they promptly replaced OVER $200.00 in my account. I want to find out how to STOP this company. It has come to the point that you can not order anything on the telpehone or internet with this company RIPPING YOU OFF and you find out months later.

My father has been charged $19.95 twice monthly from his debit card a total of $39.90 for the past several months. $19.95 from WC FUNSOURCE MONT. and $19.95 from WC VALUE PLUS. He had no idea of where or what these charges were for. I accompanied my father to his bank to get more information and have these charges stopped.

What the bank has done is to cancel his debit card and account. We were able to re-open a new account so that these scam artists will no longer be able to withdraw from his account.

BEWARE of WC FUNSOURCE and WC VALUE PLUS.

Have been receiving withdrawals on my bank statement that I didn't authorize for something I'm nost sure of what it is. After dealing with the Video Professor ###, I noticed this. Called the number given, and they told me that the charges would stop. Sent me a for to mail out but had to have all the details. Might get the 160.00 bux back eventually. we will see.

I believe they're a parent company for maybe a site that you signed up so they're charging for membership. I just got a charge and my bank told me to call them and ask for a refund. I called and theyare only open during the week day (too convient for my liking). So I canceled and I'm requsting a refund. I'm also going to call back during the wekk.

I was charged 16.95 for something I have never heard of. I have contacted my bank and will contact card services on Tues. I will file whatever I have to in order to correct this and will go to the highest means possible in order to prosecute WC Value Plus. I called the number next to the charge and they sent me to this website.

This is such a ripoff and a scam...your credit card number is given to a third party when you shop online...so be always mindful of where you shop online and from which company.

I called the 800 #, spoke to a supervisor and was told that they will refund the two unauthorized charges of $19.95...

Dear Betty, Call Value Plus at [protected], cancell account, then request a refund form. When you receive the refund form that will state you will not be authorized for a refund! Write them a letter, listing all deductions from your account, tell them if you do not receive a refund from them in 30 days, you will contact the Attorney General's Office in your state for fraud investagation. I received all monies owed to me today in the amount of $84.75 it was deposted back into my checking account. I sent my letter to Value Plus Aug. 31 2009, money deposted Sept. 8th 2009. The address I sent my letter to was Consumer Affairs, Attn: Form C/A, P.O. Box 658, Hopkins, MN 55343 Good Luck! KATSSC

I just found out that they have been charging my Debit Card for $19.95 a month since February. I thought it was a purchase from a gas station and didn't think much about it until I found another similar situation being charged on my credit card - just different company. There seems to be no protection. I called and a woman said it was cancelled, gave me a cancellation number and told me to write to their company: Membership Services. I said, "Is that the name of your company?" Yes, Membershipship Services, PO Box...
