Also file complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, and BBB.
They appear to be another "membership club" scam tacked onto "free trial offer" scams. Report of an "international fee" charge may indicate the money is being siphoned out of the country, probably to complicate recovery or prosecution.
Suggestion to "file a police report". Although a police report should be filed in all cases of fraud, it is probably a delaying tactic as well as an attempt to appear legitimate. A police report, even for credit card fraud, will not get your money back, particularly when it is the "merchant" and the "discount club" that are running the scam.
Only a timely disputing through your bank is likely to yank the money out of their account, and cancelling that card number or closing the checking account is essential to preventing additional fraud, since these types of scams usually set up repeated charges.

Unauthorized charges
I signed up for google profits and ordered the cd for $1.88 for their cd. When I looked at my charges minutes later I noticed I was also charged $4.99 from the 777 Discount Club and an international fee charg. When I called the 777 club I was told the money was non-refundable. I was told to file a police report. I immediately cancelled my credit card and so should anybody else that orders this website."
Non-Authorized Withdrawal Affadivit. So be careful to who may get into your account.
