was checking my balance in my credit card and I found that there was a charge of $16.95 of something I didn't even know where that came from, so I reported it immediately to my bank as a fraud and they gave me their number that was showing on the transaction, I called to this number and they said that I was a member of WC Value Plus, so I said What!!! I have never sign up for such of membership so they are going to credit it back to my credit card. Called to this number -1-888-833-7279 and stop them for charging you with something that you never sign up. Report this to the Department of Fraud of your credit card and they can give another credit card with a new account number so that will stop them from charging you money.

    IF you place an order over the internet then that website offers you the membership if you check a box or do not uncheck a box that offers the membership or if you cash a 'live' check you receive in the mail or if you order something thru an automated system and the auto.sys. offers you the membership and if you sign up to do surveys online or get a 'free' sample.

    This can also happen if you let someone make a purchase using your information. The information is only pass on b/c the membership has been accepted.

    If you look through this site for complaints against "WC anything", you will find that "D.M." offers excuses like the above about how supposedly YOU unknowingly might have "authorized" them to take your money, and yet why they have no knowledge of through what mechanism you gave them that authorization.  If you can be convinced that you "accidentally" gave them your money, but that heh! It was YOUR mistake if you didn't read the fine print where they hid your "authorization", well, then they get to keep it!  Great "business" model!

    This has been going on for several years, under a variety of names.  

    FTC reports "Unauthorized Billing -Buyers Clubs" as number 2 in it's Top Ten list of frauds.

    http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/fraud.shtm

    "...
    The top 10 frauds listed in the report include:

    Fraudulent Weight-Loss Products (4.8 million victims)
    Foreign Lottery Scams (3.2 million victims)
    Unauthorized Billing - Buyers Clubs (3.2 million victims)
    Prize Promotions (2.7 million victims)
    Work-at-Home Programs (2.4 million victims)
    Credit Card Insurance (2.1 million victims)
    Unauthorized Billing - Internet Services (1.8 million victims)
    Advance-Fee Loans (1.7 million victims)
    Credit Repair Scams (1.2 million victims)
    Business Opportunities (.8 million victims)
    ..."

    This report from the Minnasota Attorney General's office, details evidence where banks provided customer account information to telemarketers selling "memberships" in advance, and then attempted to hide the nature of membership club cancellation disputes, exposing their own customers to unauthorized, fraudulent charges.

    I noticed that on my banking statement that there is a charge twice for 16.95.  This time I remembered that the same thing happened last month.  Well I checked my account and this has been happening since 4/2. I have lost a total of $135.60.  I'm really upsent and I don't even know how it happened....or how to stop it.
