    I signed up for a membership approx 4 years ago. I immediately canceled my membership. Since then the organization has charged my bank account different amounts at least every 2-3 months. Each time my bank flags as fraud and I submit a claim. That requires me to get a new debit card. I've replaced approx 7-8 debit cards. That's a problem, especially since I canceled my membership years ago. Please stop charging me.

    This company keeps changing their name slightly so that they can continue to charge for membership that has been cancelled (at least twice!!). I have even cancelled my credit card so that they could not charge me again, but because they pay Mastercard and **** for updated card #s, they keep charging me. I don't have an account # anymore because I CANCELLED my membership two years ago, but they keep trying to charge me. ** On top of this, when I did sign up, it was for a LIFETIME membership, so there should never have been any additional charges. This company is a complete SCAM! Why haven't they been closed down?

    I have been battling unauthorized charges listed as intlnetworkwomeninc for $49. ** immediately flagged it suspicious and it was declined. However, I received a new card with a new number but within one month I had a similar charge from the Intlnetworkwomeninc again! I never authorized these charges or subscribed to anything like this. I have no way to contact them to have them remove me from their database! I dont even know how they are getting the new credit card numbers! I want this fraudulent company to stop charging me and remove any info they have of me from their database!

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    I want to be assured that I will receive no further charges from this organization. Every time I dispute their transactions and get a new card, they somehow get their hands on the new card number and charge me again. This has happened 3 times at this point. 

     

     

     

     

    In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.


    Sincerely,

    A women's networking group that has had hundreds of complaints lodged against it continues to charge my credit card without my permission. I have reported this to the **** to **** of America and to ***** I have done everything in my power to cancel through them directly. But every 6 months or so, another unauthorized charge in the hundreds of dollars appears on my credit card. They illegally authorized themselves to get recurring payments, meaning when I get a new credit card number, they automatically get that information as well. This has been an issue for years and the worst part is the charges appear under a different name than what they called themselves so it's very hard to login and stop them. Just got a new credit card number last week. Suddenly have a charge of $249.90 from ************* International LLC on that brand new card. Now I have to go through the whole process again, probably for the 10th time, to convince the **** to block these people and try to get them to stop charging me.
