COMPLAINT:

SCAM ALERT - CARE.COM COMMITS FEDERAL CRIMES

Care.com is running a systematic scam that violates federal privacy laws. They steal your money, terminate service immediately, then conduct UNAUTHORIZED BACKGROUND CHECKS on customers who complain.

WHAT HAPPENED:

  1. June 20: Paid $56.97 for 3-month subscription
  2. 24 hours later: Account locked, no explanation, no refund
  3. June 21: They contacted my personal network claiming I was "removed from platform"
  4. June 25: Received notice of UNAUTHORIZED background check through Sterling agency after I threatened legal action

FEDERAL CRIMES COMMITTED:

  1. Fair Credit Reporting Act violations - unauthorized background screening
  2. Privacy law violations - sharing personal data without consent
  3. Consumer fraud - taking money, denying service, refusing refunds
  4. Retaliation - background check came days after legal threat

THEIR SCAM PATTERN:

  1. Charge customers full price upfront
  2. Terminate service within 24 hours for fake violations
  3. Keep all money, ignore refund requests
  4. Contact customer's personal network with defamatory info
  5. Conduct illegal background checks on customers who complain

WARNING TO CONSUMERS:
Care.com will:

  1. Steal your subscription money
  2. Contact your friends/family with lies about you
  3. Run illegal background checks without consent
  4. Violate federal privacy laws
  5. Retaliate against customers who demand accountability

WHAT I'M DOING:
Filed complaints with FTC, BBB, Texas Attorney General, Georgia Consumer Protection. Seeking legal action for federal privacy violations. Bank chargeback initiated.

CONSUMER ALERT: This company commits federal crimes against customers. The unauthorized background check after threatening legal action proves malicious intent.

DO NOT USE CARE.COM - Use literally any other platform that won't steal your money and violate federal privacy laws.

Evidence: Fully documented. Federal agencies investigating.
