If you never ordered it then you don't owe them.
These reports shows up. The company behind "valueplus" is Provell, which reportedly also has various other "membership club" scams. http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/WebsitesComplaints_ValuePlusOnline.php http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/321/RipOff0321559.htm http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/valueplusonline-c5721.html
They generally get consumer account information from other on-line retailers, sometimes through terms buried in fine print, or through some "discount offer" pop-up box that appears to be from the original merchant, or possibly through phone order centers where some quickly read script for a "free trial" is used to sell the "membership". The account information gets passed to them (the original merchant probably gets some payment for the "sale"), and monthly charges start showing up for the "membership".
One report from an on-line merchant was that some of these pop-up offers may originate with their payment processor, connected to payment processor provided "shopping cart" scripting used to pass the account information along, and that the merchant wasn't even aware their customers were presented with pop-up "offers" that made it look like the merchant was behind it.
Many consumers complain they have no idea where they got their account information, nor did they agree to become a "member" with monthly charges.
If you want to establish a traceable record that you cancelled, then send a letter, certified return receipt requested, directly to Provell (you should be able to find their address through BBB), attaching a copy of the message they sent stating they were going to bill you, and indicate that you never authorized any charges from them and you were revoking all authorization.
Just receiving such a notice indicates that they probably already have obtained your account information and are about to charge it without your authorization. They may try to create the appearance that you have a 30 day trial, and could cancel, but you cannot depend on any promise by them to cancel as long as the account information they have is still valid.
You would be advised to contact your bank immediately to close your account due to the likelyhood of fraudulent charges. Be sure to watch your next statement on your new card or account number, since charges set up as automatic repeated authorizations can get transferred to new numbered accounts for several months when the old account is blocked and closed.
If fraudulent charges show up on your statements, dispute them with your bank as fraudulent immediately, and close the account. Follow up in writing with a written dispute to your bank, making sure they receive it within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the disputed charges, to invoke your FRB Reg. E (for checking accounts), or FCBA (for credit cards) rights.

I just called and cancelled my valueplus with your company and i expect that it better be cancelled as of today. after going to the website to claim my free walmart giftcard there was a whole bunch of crap and nothing about a walmart giftcard. I was promised the form in 7 to 10 days and it had better be here or i will be contacting my attorney and he will take care of it for me.

The problem is you did order something, you just didn't realize it because you did not read every single word in the pop-up window that offered you a coupon, $10 off on your next purchase, a trial offer, or some other scam. You MUST call the 800 number in the letter you received and write down the cancellation number they give you and the name of the person you spoke with. The site you purchased from is partnered with this company and may not realize it's a scam; they actually shared your credit card number and other info with the scammers. You must cancel it. Immediately.v4d9

Since speaking to Ashley a few minutes ago,I called back this time I spoke to a Samantha useing the same number above I wanted to be certain I wasn"t charged and that this is canceled.I was assured it is.Their hours of operation are 8am. to 4pm Eastern Standard Time.Its important you call immedietly because they have either your Credit Card Info or your Bank Visa Debit Card Number.They got it from You,in one breath or another while enticeing you with a gift card their gathering Your Information.I've got news they each and every month Continue to Access Your Money Hitting your account with a $24.95 cent charge every month and every 30days thereafter until you call 1-800-475-1942 so keep all your paperwork jot down their name # and time and day you call to cancel also follow up with your Bank or Credit card provider.To be certain your not being charged further.

Oh and lets not let Membership Services have all the fun 30 second smile's in bed with them. Their toothbrush is made in China and it's junk!. So be careful do"nt let 30 Second Smiles concept, Con you like they attempted to con me. Now who"s Smileing!.In 30 Seconds as their logo is 30 Second Smile. Your being Ripped Off as their ripping you off a second time, one of their operators is selling you a toothbrush and at the same time they are selling your information your name,address and billing method to a company all the while promiseing you a $50dollar gift card in Walmarts good name, a place you trust.And secondly their going to be accessing your account not just once but each and every month till you realize and catch them at it. So picture this, the artist in this sense is a ripoff artist painting one scene only in your mind though, while ripping you off multiple ways all at once.By baiting you, with the gift card and a third party phone number the whole scenereo your sucked up into cause you are being lead too believe your going to come out ahead,your not my friend.I don"t even know you, but I am telling you the truth.Only because this same scenerio I was caught up in just like you,so we have this in common and I know because of this scam, how you feel cause I know how I feel,understand? Remember this this whole idea of getting something is nothing but the average persons personal level of there own greediness as my mother once told me, you are greedy or were in a scenereo whether it be this or somewhere down the line in life and this is how you got in the situation your in, and you put yourself in that situation because of greed, your own. So, mind this cause you can get yourself into some very serious trouble if you do not!You can end up being scamed,dead, or in prison for ever. Remember this little nack too, in the word believe, is also the little word lie, that can get you in to some serious trouble.
