      Status:
      Unanswered
      On December 13, 2022 I received a number of letters on the mail from Preferred Memberships notifying me that I had signed up to memberships with My ID Defense, Travel Deals 4 Less and Brand Name Savings Advantage. Each of these memberships incurred a monthly cost of $19.95 - $19.99. I never signed up to any of these memberships. When I called Customer Service of these companies they refuse to provide details of the sign up date, method of sign up or sales agent that created my membership. On December 13,2022 I called Preferred Memberships and they agreed to cancel such memberships, and claimed I called Preferred Memberships on November 30, 2022 to sign up for these services. They rejected to provide a copy of the audio of such call (because such call does not exist). I went through my phone records and I did not call any unknown numbers on November 30, 2022, so my conclusion is that Preferred Membership’s allegations of such call taking place is a lie and the sign ups to these memberships is a scam. To date, I have not been able to find out how they got access to my personal details and credit card details.

      This company uses aggressive and misleading tactics to collect monthly fees for services that have no value or may not even exist. In reviewing one of my elderly mother's credit card statements, I discovered recurring charges from dailysavings4you with one of the phone numbers listed by BBB for this company (ending in 0402). I called and after considerable time on hold, spoke to someone who told me responded to some kind of promotion for a gift card and signed up for a "free trial subscription" to a service the person I spoke to wasn't able to describe, and that the service was not cancelled after the trial expired. I was not able to find any email record of this so I assume she responded to a call. Additionally, there were several duplicate charges. The person I spoke to said the subscription will be cancelled, but I will need to keep a close eye on the account to make sure it does. I don't know if what they are doing is illegal, but it is certainly deceptive and they prey on vulnerable people. Check your credit card statements carefully and be on the look out for recurring charges you don't recognize.
