I'm another one who was billed $54.90 for service I did not order from Globalinx. I have been promised repayment on about 7 different dates since I called them, but every date has passed without my money being returned.
I filed a complaint with the BBB which has accomplished nothing. Tomorrow I contact the Virginia State's Attorney office. Their number is 1-800-552-9963. I recommend everyone else do the same. If we can't get our money, at least let's see if we can put the theives behind bars.

Today I finally found the right place to call to complain about Globalinx. It is the Federal Trade Commission. They have a toll-free number 1-877-382-4357 and the website is http://www.ftc.gov. I hope everyone who reads this and has been scammed by Globalinx will contact the FTC as soon as possible so we can stop their scamming.

I recently had another "hit" on my Mastercard of 72.00 for a rewards program I did not apply for. When I called this company, they told me that VistaPrint (http://www.vistaprint.com) provided them with my credit card information back in August 2002. VistaPrint has an ongoing offer of 250 "free" business cards to new customers. I ordered the cards and paid the $4.95 S&H for them with my Mastercard. I remember VistaPrint had a bunch of pop-up ads but I just closed them without even looking at them. I suspect now those were sign-up screens that captured my credit card info for Phonelinx/Globalinx and this other company.
The rewards program company was great - they refunded my 72.00 immediately. But now I am going to have to 'hotkey' my credit card and have a new number issued because I can't take a chance that VistaPrint has provided my info to somebody else.
My advice to anybody else whose had this experience is to have your card cancelled and a new one issued. I still don't have my money from Globalinx and have received an email from an attorney interested in a possible class action against them. I'll post a follow-up on this aspect of my complaint as soon as I have more info.
I will NEVER do any business with VistaPrint again!
