      I was charged a membership fee of $13 by freeshipping.com on August 31, 2022 from ******. I never remember this money. I have a screenshot of the email of the member who canceled this website membership on 04 / 25/2020. But I suspect that they used my ****** secretly to collect this fee. This money is not authorized by me. And the website never shows a membership fee of $13 per month. When I searched this website on the Internet, all people said it was a scam website. If i cannot get this money back, i hope the government should close this website to prevent more people from being cheated.

      I write in regards to the above referenced complaint submitted to
      your office by **** **. We regret any confusion or inconvenience they
      experienced when doing business with our company and trust that this letter
      will address their concerns.   
      Our records show that on August
      17th, 2022, after making an online purchase on **********, **** ** was presented with an ad banner promoting our
      FreeShipping.com program. **** ** clicked on the banner and arrived on our
      order registration page, which provided full details about our money saving
      membership program and how they can try the program for 7 days at no cost. The
      terms on that page, titled “Offer Details,” explained that if she did not
      cancel her subscription by the end of the trial, their subscription would
      automatically continue and the monthly subscription fee would be charged to the
      credit card account that they provided. 

      Our records show that they
      completed the registration process by providing their full contact and account
      information and checking a box that states “I agree to the Offer Details and the
      Terms of Use & Service” just below
      the offer terms. Shortly thereafter we sent **** ** a welcome e-mail to the
      e-mail address they provided upon enrollment that included full information on
      how they can access and enjoy their program benefits and reiterating the
      program billing terms. 

      We received a dispute for
      the $13.00 membership fee from **** **** bank on 8/31/22. We accepted this
      dispute and the credit will post back to their ****** account. The membership
      has been canceled and no further membership fees will be billed.

      Again, we
      regret any inconvenience this may have caused **** **.

      My freeshipping.com email is **********.***.
      A few months ago, when me and my spouse had separate accounts, Freeshipping.com support let us know that we can only have one account per household. So I worked with their support to close the duplicate account(s) and only keep one account .** ***@******.***.

      I went on Active Duty (U.S Army Reserve) a couple of months ago and came back to civlian life recently. When I tried to login with ***@******.net, the website threw an error. So I contacted their support and they let me know that the issue is with duplicate accounts.

      I believe it's a mistake on their part because we now only have one account **. ***@******.net within our household (*** ******* *** *********** ** *****).

      I kindly request freeshipping.com support to reactivate my account (***@******.net) and prevent accidental cancelation in the future. We only wish to maintain a single account within our household

      I write in regards to the above referenced complaint
      submitted to your office by ********* ******. We regret any confusion or
      inconvenience he experienced when doing business with our company and trust
      that this letter will address his concerns.   
      The Terms of Use on FreeShipping.com states – There is a
      limit of one membership and one introductory/premium offer per household.
      Due to multiple accounts at ********* ******’s address their
      account was closed. We have reinstated this account and reached out directly to
      confirm they will now be able to log in and earn cash back and rebate claims.
      In the future, please be advised there is a limit of one membership allowed per
      household.
      Again, we regret any inconvenience this may have caused ********* ******.

      I have never ordered from Clarius Direct LLC I haven’t revived no merchandise from them. They’re charging my ****** account $13.00 monthly since June. This is a fraudulent company, also I would like my money refunded back to me. Your immediate investigation in this matter would be greatly appreciated thank you.

      My mom is being charged $13 every month and does not remember even signing up for this. She needed an email to do and has never owned a computer or had an email address.
      I have called 3 times to speak with customer service and because I do not have any login information(because there is not any) they will not help. She has moved from ******** where she live all 81 1/2 years to ****** and lives in an assisted living facility. She is also on a fixed income and we are not really sure how long this charge has been going on, we just have went as far back as Feb of this year. We just simply want the membership to stop. Help she is being taken advantage of.

      ***** *****

      She never signed up so the fact they can’t find her membership is true but yet they are drafting her bank account every month.  She is on a fixed income and in assisted living.  All we want is for them to cancel the draft they set up.  She is 82 years old

As soon as we receive the requested information we will be happy to look into this further for you and issue a full refund of the membership fees as a courtesy.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:I DO NOT have a card of which I even signed up to give them.  I am so upset that at 82 years of age I can't just get this cancelled with no trouble.  I understand that $13 a month is not much to them, but it really is to me.



      Sincerely,



      ***** *****

      We have no information to give them because we did not sign up for this.  I am so upset that it is taken this long. 
      I live on a fixed income and this does hurt me.
