I noticed three different "purchases" from my checking account for $19.95 each starting in August. When I tracked down a phone number to call Shopping Essentials they claimed I signed up with them when I subscribed to Classmates.com - I told them I never heard of them and had no idea what they were talking about. I got them to remove one charge, but they refused to remove the others because they said I signed up (which I absolutely did not) and they were incredibly rude. I am beyond furious - have contacted my bank to dispute the charges. I see they have many other victims as well.

I feel very violated that they got my check card number and just started charging away totally outside of my control. I have complained to Classmates.com as well and cancelled my 3-month membership.
