I have noticed monthly charges from WC Mon ValuePlus in the amount of $24.95, did not pay much attention to it because I was sure these charges were for gasoline, one of our gas stations has a very similar name therefore all of these charges have been ignored by me, until most recent online statement review it jumped at me because the icon was not as a shopping cart but different then any other.  By opening the transaction data it was revealed as ATM or cash advance charge. Called visa,  the customer service rep contacted the 800 number, I was then informed that about 5 months of charges will be removed from my account. Well, that was on Friday August 08, nothing has changed as of today.  I remember ordering curling iron by viewing ad on TV, it looked impressive, now looking back these charges started to occur since then.  That was in May of 2013.  By now they charged me $374.95. Wonder if any of the money can be recovered.

Thank you

    My late father had this charge on one of his cc. I thought it was suspicious and found out he has been charged $25.95 monthly fir almost 2 years—for a service he never used. I am contacting the BBB and Consumer Protection Agency. What a scam! He needed to call them to cancel a service he didn’t agree to...very strange.

    I have never heard of or ordered anything from this company until withdrawals appeared on my bank history for April/May 2019 for fraudulent membership fees of 24.95. I have never  authorized any recurring membership payments.  I've never received any statements or communication personally from this company.

    Ibeen at work all day got off to look at my account  to see 24.95 has been taken off two times. I called my bank to see what's going on who are these people I didn't tell them to take nothing off my card. The lady said they didn't know who they where but they did it two times last month, then she said dispute it and they'll send me another card and I'll get all the money back crazy .

    Hopefully they won't get a chance to hit my account. I, too, look at my accounts each morning. I noticed a $1.00 charge from WC Mon Savings. Immediately contacted the bank. Rep checked them out and stated that this was a scam with many complaints. Closed my card out and now have a new card. Hopefully that is the end of this debacle. Does anyone know if a class action suit has been filed on this company. I will check back for info.

    I’ve been disputing these charges also. Visa has changed my card and number 3 times and they still let these scammers charge my account. When I called mon value plus, they could only tell me it was a membership for services. When I asked them what services I was getting they couldn’t tell me. So I said, let me ask you. How do you charge someone for services if you don’t know what services they’re getting! That’s when they said would you like to cancel the membership! The more I read about this so called company, It seems Visa is the only card with these charges on them.

    I too have not applied to this company.  I am contacting the BBB!  The BBB usually responds quite quickly!  They took money from me too!

    My mother died on 2/5/2020 at age 97.  I had been monitoring her checking and savings accounts but paid no attention to her credit card account believing she did not get out to use it and was not computer literate.  Boy, do I feel stupid.  Upon her death I was shocked to find out that she has been charged $24.95 a month since 9/2020.  I called and the first person told me to write the company.  She refused to give me a superior's name and phone number - then she disconnected me.  The second person I talked to said she would said a refund request form to me, but given what I have read above I am not hopeful.  I am beyond angry.  The FTC gave me a help line to call which I will do now.  It appears this has been an ongoing scam.  Shameful.

    I just wonder why authorities haven't done anything to protect the interest of consumers.

    Same here. Im guessing hese cockroaches have made millions off of this scam. But with the millions made, they probably have alias business names, making them hard if not impossible to track down.
    Here's my thought....make it  a Federal crime by contacting your congresspeople, especially your state congress, but ALL of your state people. This sort of  thing is what makes it harder to survive with "too much month at the end of the money".
        Making scams a federal AND state crime would place millions back in the pockets of taxpayers, which would make more sense to the Congress. If prosecuted under federal statutes, these people would have the fear of the IRS on their "assets", knowing their "assets" can be seized, along with their bank accounts.

    I noticed most of these complaints several years ago. Let me be the one to say it is continuing. I just happened to have noticed just a couple of days ago, they were getting me. They have nerve to have a "scam" website WOW. This is crazy. I have two fraud complaints going on at the same time. This is crazy. I have no idea how much money they have gotten me for. It's not like I'm rich. I need my few cents.

    Grandsons card was charged $29.95 3 times in one month.  Don't know what for or who these people are.  Called to inquire about this and was told that he may have purchased something that they were somehow linked to as a membership gig.  I called and asked about it, and was turned over to a supervisor.  When I was inquiring about this, and membership was mentioned, I asked why there were 3 charges in on month if that was the case.   Quickly after this, the call was disconnected.
    Called back to speak to a supervisor, and was told none were available and to call back in 30 minutes.  Will be doing so in a few minutes.  I guess we will see how that works out.

    Discovered their charge when investigating a hack to my grandsons microsoft account.  Had 3 charges of $29.95 in June alone.  Called them and was told that my wife allegedly agreed to this service when she called up some place and ordered something back in 2021.  There was no information provided that would tell us what that was.  When I asked about the 3 charges in June 2023,  no explanation was offered.  Was told membership would be cancelled, I would be sent something to try to get a refund, and they would e-mail me the alleged phone conversation where my wife agreed to this service.  Have not received anything yet.  Am going to bank to research exactly how long this had been going on, and see what they can do about this situation.  Can't understand how a company can be doing this for years and receive so many complaints, but nothing done.  I thought the act of fraud and theft were illegal.
