My wife ordered business cards from Vista Print in 2004 with her Bank ATM/Credit card. Soon after, we started getting deductions from our account via the bank card of 9.95 a month by a company called AP9 BusinessMax (in August, the deduction was bumped up to 11.95). As my wife buys odds and ends from OfficeMax and Office Depot, I thought that this was one of her purchases and didn't question it until she noticed the charges this past month and had not been to an office supply store in months. A quick internet search of 'businessmax' yielded a number of findings here on ripoff.com, with many people describing the same thing.
We called the Vista Print and they admitted to having a relationship with OfficeMax and seemed rather calm in explaining that my wife may have responed to some kind of pop up ad.
For the record, neither of us reply to pop up ads, in fact, we have a pop up blocker installed.
We never gave permission to Officemax to take funds or charge our card for anything.
We never received any service, product, or benefit from Officemax.
While the business cards were sufficient from VistaPrint, there is obviously a connection between the two companies, and VistaPrint has given our account information to OfficeMax.
This is a scam.
Stay away from Vista Print, they will give your private information to a company who will steal money from you.
