Dri*Reg.net - Unauthorized Charges
Complaint
Vikki F.
Country: United States
I was charged $59.95 by Dri*Reg.net. There no website at this address DriReg.net and I could not find anything else about this "company". My bank absorbed the charges as it's an obvious fraud and provided me with a new card. However, it's not clear how this company obtained the information.
Comments
I notified the bank within 15 minutes of signing up for the free trial once I realized what happened. They closed my debit card and recommended that I call the ALL of the numbers listed in their terms to cancel anything further. If you notice, you may have to make a seperate call Fit Factory too.
It is very a very unfortunate scam, especially since Rachel Ray and Oprah are associated with the products. You think everything is legitimate. But, if the deal is too good to be true, it most likely is.
Wuyi Tea Co (Ontario, Canada):$4.95
Grantsearch.com (Las Vegas, NV): $2.99
Regnetord: $1.85
I did NOT sign up for any free trials or 'pay for shipping only', nor did I order anything directly from any of these companies. They also got me with charges to Netflix, Yahoo Search Marketing, Clickandbuy.com, Maxx Supplements, and SuperAuctionPro.com.
Best practice is to call the bank, cancel your card and go through the process of reporting fraud. Luckily for me, my bank froze my account and contacted me when they started happening. Do not bother calling the companies in question. They may be legit or they may not be and you may unwittingly give them more information than they had already.
As one of these companies had my phone number and 1 had most of my address (most meaning they were off by one digit on the street number), you should also contact the three major credit reporting agencies (e.g. Equifax) and alert them to possible identity theft. They will put an alert on your credit rating for 90 days in the event anyone tries to open a line of credit in your name.
REGNETORD.COM MN who are they??? Did anyone have bank of america or wells fargo...what did they do to help you? This pisses me off...i dont know where this came from
authorize this debit and when I called the bank for the time the debit took place, I did not use my computer. I called the bank they gave me the number of 866-540-9633 and she said when you sign up you agree to the monthly billing until you cancel the order. she agreed to refund my money.
she says it take 10-12 days.I'll keep checking my account.
Anyway, long story short - don't even bother calling the company you used - they'll only try to make you feel stupid. Call/visit your bank and let them know you were fraudulently charged, fill out a Regulation E form (for checking account) and cancel your current debit card to avoid further charges. BE FIRM WITH YOUR BANK THAT THIS IS NOT AN APPROVED CHARGE!! They might try to give you the "there's nothing we can do" crap.
I, by the way, was charged $79.95. I haven't gotten my money back yet, but I've done the best thing to avoid future problems.
As for Acaia-Slim, the girl I talked to initially was a snotty b%tch.
Thanks a lot Oprah Winfrey for the reference to this product. You should be paying for it!!!!
