SPK*SPOKEO 1800

1. While in Ocala, Florida while trying to find my cousins phone number - a site popped up on my daughter's smart phone (Evidently SPK*SPOKEO 1800) which offered to find a
phone number for $.95 so we used it one time and one time only.

2. We did not join the site which evidently was evidently SPK*SPOKEO 1800

3. Two charges appeared on my debit card bank balance as follows:
. 3/25/2015 - Point of Sale - SPK*SPOKEO 1800 - $00.95 (This charge I can account for)
. 4/02/2015 - Recurring Debit - SPK*SPOKEO 1800 - $19.95 (This charge I cannot account for - I Do Not Have Any Recurring Charge)

4. I am not a member of the site SPK*SPOKEO 1800

5. I should not have any recurring charge and the $19.95 which was charged to my debit card bank balance by SPK*SPOKEO 1800 should be refunded and No additional charges
should be made to my debit card.

I have tried to contact customer care by phone and online to no actual avail. I want to Opt out of SPK*SPOKEO 2800 immediately. I do not know how or why I have been billed $19.95 for what was called a Recurring Debit (I have No Recurring Debit).

Sincerely , Connie Sue Davis

SPK*SPOKEO SEAR

This site made a fraudulent transaction with my debit card in the valor of $19.95.
Although they are even at wikepidia I am sure they do spams all the time.
Be careful and do not use this site for anything.

They Put a charge on my card which I NEVER signup to

I have a $14.85 charge on my Vanila Visa card from them, I have Never Visited their Web Site, never used their service, first time I hear of them is today. Why would thy charge my card and how would they obtain it - Is The Question!!! Total FRAUDULENT
Called their costumer service , they were nice but couldn't assist me. Where are the Government Agencies? Why are they SLEEPING on that one? This is S-C-A-M


* Their costumer service didn't find my name or my card number in their system and asked to have a 3way call with my financial provider on the line to better assist me. Their guy couldn't tell me HOW they will assist me if they coudnt even find my card on their files. No Doubt this is another tactic from them to Steal even more financial information from you. Be Wear!

SPK*SPOKEO - FRAUDULENT CHARGES

Just noticed an unusual charge on my bank statement for $14.95 for a service I never requested. After calling the customer service agent I find that I have been charged for over a year in the amount of $179.40 fraudulently. They claim I signed up for a 7 day trial that was not deactivated then an 30 day trial which was also not deactivated. This was done supposedly for a search of a person of whom I have not knowledge or ever heard. These charges have been being made against my checking account since April of 2015. I am surprised that I have not noticed it until now. The charge was small enough each month that it was easily overlooked which is what these scammers count on.

Another victim

Just discovered that I've been charged at least three times by this site, and I have no business or account with them. It's a holiday so I can't do anything until tomorrow, but I will be after these SOBs as soon as possible.

What the hell?

I too am being robbed by Spokeo. How the heck they got my bank information is beyond me. How do we get this to stop? I will be calling them in the morning and had better get them to stop or I will go to the authorities. I have been charged twice and have no idea who or what these people are. WTF!!!!!

Robbed !!!!

Spokeo search, Robbed me of 24.00 total in TWO DAYs. they got into my account somehow and totally charged me and I have never bought or even thought about this search page. All the horror stories true. I don't know but I bet most are like us and need their money. They did reassure me that they would not charge my account ever again. But we will see!

What the whhaaattttt

I'm glad I stumbled into this, that I'm not the only one... I've been seeing unfamiliar charges monthly, for a while now, in the amount of $24.90. I didn't think much of it until a strange number continued to call and I happened upon Spokeo. The spelling is quite different, so when I realized the uncanny similarities between the site I was directed to and what my account is being charged under, I searched exactly what's on my statement SPK*SPOKEO SEAR, wouldn't ya know it's the same dang thing! I figured, what the hell, if I'm being charged anyway, let's give it a shot! Funny thing about that was, nothing indicated recent/accurate information! Instead, it tried to CHARGE me for a service in apparently ALREADY PAYING FOR! WTF is right. Who the hell are these ppl, and WHY do they feel entitled to take and use someone's hard earned money WITHOUT consent OR knowledge...!

SPK*SPOKEO Theives

This company regularly dings my CC for $35.70 every couple of months. No idea what this charge is for, nor who signed up for whatever services it purports to be. I have tried to get this charge stopped, but w/ no success to date.

ripped off

Yet another person ripped off by this company. I also didn't see the charges. When i called the company they asked if i had found Albert Parks. I have no idea who this person is. I don't even know anyone by that name. I will be calling my state attorney general to look into this company and the fraudulent charges.

Spokeo = Fraud

Just noticed that Spokeo has been charging me $19.95 month after month. I never agreed to this. Will dispute charges with the credit card company. This is clearly fraudulent.

Spokeo Fraud

I live in the UK and I’ve only just noticed that I’ve have been charged £55.65 ($70) in in small amounts in the five months since November 2016 even though I've never signed up for this service, I might have stumbled across it while I was trying to locate someone and I have a vague recollection of link after link asking for more information including credit card details to prove that I was genuinely who I said I was but I definitely didn’t press any confirm or send button, I was careful to press cancel and closed the browser when things started to look suspicious. I have received no email confirmation that I had agreed to subscribe and no login details so even if I wanted to use this "service" I am not able to. As far as I am concerned, this is fraud! I am now contesting it through my credit card provider.

Call your credit card company and CHARGE IT BACK!

Like, wow wow wow! What an absolute %*%@!

I also signed up for a one-time $0.95 inquiry in January. Today, Sept. 6, 2017, I just checked my credit card statement and saw that Spokeo was pulling out $9.85 on the 3rd of each month and $19.95 on the 9th of each month. That is $29.75 each month. If I hadn't checked my statement I would never have known.

I called my credit card company, and they put SPOKEO on the phone on a 3-way call. I told the SPOKEO operator lady I just googled them and ALL I see is complaints of unauthorized charges by dozens of people OF THE SAME THING.

I googled their official business address. Guess what? It is a UPS store/mail drop P.O. box in Pasadena. That tells me they are hiding from IRATE victims. (UPS will pack up P.O. Box mail and send it to another location we will never learn about. Good grief! I will find out the owner's name and post it here with his address - his real one.) I am a lawyer and I will be discussing this with a class-action attorney friend of mine.

RESULT: all charges have been reversed. All $206.60.

SO: Stop reading and call your credit card company right now.

SPOKEO scammed me trying to find a scammer. - BEWARE

Beware. - I used SPOKEO SEARCH only once to help me find a scammer.
Now I have incurred ongoing subscription costs that I cannot cancel.
Every time I contact them they say they cannot find my account details, and without those details they cannot cancel the subscription.
The online chat line is a joke. As soon as you say you want to terminate the subscription the connection drops out.
This company is a bigger scammer than the person who scammed me.
BEWARE.

Spokeo are thieves!!!

While I was reviewing my bank statement looking for a certain deposit, I saw a line item that looked strange. I searched my online bank account and found many "Spokeo" hits of both $19.95 & $9.85 each month. I called my bank and they were able to confirm this has been going on since July 2016!!! For 21 months, these punks have been stealing from me. My bank did confirm that the original purchase was from my wife's debit card. She did not know about the auto subscription after the so called trial period. my fault for not reviewing my bank statement in detail for that many months. Anyway, my bank said they could assist but I would have better success recouping my money by calling them directly 800-699-4264. I spoke with a service rep (Dave) who quickly offered me 3 months credit. after I said no, he came back with 1 years worth of credit (357.60 of the 625.80 that's been stolen). i said unacceptable and put someone on the phone who has the capacity to assist me. i spoke with his supervisor (Jennifer) who said that their "processor" won't let them credit anything more than 1 year. i asked to speak with her supervisor unsuccessfully. in my frustration, i asked how could she work for a company that steals from innocent people?!? i asked her what percentage of the calls she receives are similar to mine. She claimed less than half (find hard to believe). I asked how many employees they have and she said she can't answer that. She did confirm that they work in Pasadena. Thanks to the person's post above on Sept 6, 2017, i asked for their business address as my attorney will be sending a letter. she tried to pawn me off to a website but i insisted on an actual address.
Spokeo / 556 S Fair Oaks Ave #100-179 / Pasadena, CA 91105 / The CEO's name is Harrison Pang according to supervisor Jennifer. Interesting how they won't provide their last names but just an internal "agent number". Additionally, Google maps pulls up a picture of a UPS store connected to Starbucks at that address... SHADE!!!

Spokeo are thieves!!!

spk*spokeo ARE THIEVES

BEST WAY OF GETTING THIS PEST TO LEAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD ALONE IS TO ASK FOR A CARD REPLACEMENT. A BIT OF RED TAPE PAIN BUT IT SOLVES IT!

Thieves

I was trying to identify a number on my phone bill and apparently used this site. After which they began charging 20.00 a month. They had been charging me for 3 months before I caught it. If they were being honest they would send a confirmation email for the subscription or a notification of a withdraw but they don't. I called the number listed on my bank statement and they refused to give me back my money. I am very upset. CROOKS!

i am being ripped

1. I am in India and wanted to search for a USA phone number. SPK*SPOKEO offered to find a
phone number for $.95 so I used it one time and one time only.

2. I did not join the site SPK*SPOKEO

3. Since then I am charged twice as follows:
$ 09.85
$ 19.80
This has been going on every month.

4. I am not a member of the site SPK*SPOKEO

5. I should not have any recurring charge and the $ 29.65 charged every month should be refunded and No additional charges
should be made to my credit card.

I have tried to contact customer care by phone and online to no actual avail. I want to OPT OUT of SPK*SPOKEO immediately. I do not know how or when I can get out of this ripping

Sincerely ,
Alfred Pratapsingh
