Blair.com aka Blair Fraudulent add to autopay VIP program Internet

On November 3, 2015 my sister-in-law ordered some clothes for my mother at Blair.com at my mother's request using my mother's credit card. Blair.com fraudulently enrolled my mother's credit card into a VIP program and charged $14.97/month without permission for many months and without informing my sister-in-law that they were doing so.

My mother is 86, her memory is failing, and she has a long history of credit card fraud by merchants (at least 4 year's worth) so we when we moved my mother to the same town as my brother and sister-in-law we took away her car, her checkbook and her credit cards.  Her checkbook and credit cards are only used under the supervision of my brother and sister-in-law due to the long history of similar types of fraud.

I personally review credit card statements but with such a small amount $14.97 and with a merchant that I know was valid (rarely, but yes occasionally valid) I did not realize the fraud until my sister-in-law lost her wallet and phone and called to let me know about it.  I then checked the charges and knew something was wrong as a new charge was made even though it could not have been since the card was lost.

I re-verified with both my sister-in-law and mother that nothing had been purchased for months (not since November) then noticed six months worth of charges at $14.97 so I called Blair.com and asked for the VIP department since the VIP was mentioned in the statements.  Jomika (at 888-288-7708) knew my sister-in-law's name and gave her email address as "proof" that the VIP program was authorized, however since I knew we specifically NEVER approve those programs and had verified with my sister-in-law before the call, that she was lying to me.

I requested they stop the charges and was getting the run around until they hung up on me.  Undoubtedly I became quite unpleasant, since I do have a tendence to get angry when people are stealing from my mother.

I did another quick review on RipOff Report and see another complaint about this exact same thing made in 2012.  I'm here to tell everyone this same fraud is alive and well at Blair.com.

Please also be warned that Blair owns Haband so the fraud will occur there as well.  Frankly there are several companies shown at the top of the same website so beware of all of them.
