LiveCareer Resume Service New York New York

I noticed a charge on our credit card bill from LIVECAREER-Recurring payment "My perfect resume" service. On their wab page, livecareer.com I couldn't find a phone number, only a email or live text for contact. I choose the live text and after a 10 minute wait started a chat with a customer service person. They informed me that my daughter had purchased a $2.95 sample resume from them, and it changes into a monthly recurring subscription automatically of $34.95 a month if not canceled within 14 days. Now who needs a "monthly" resume service? My daughter said she saw nothing indicating this would change to an automatic monthly recurring payment. Any time a service does that, it is a rip off. A legitimate company doesn't lure someone in with a tiny offer, and embedded in the small print sign you up for something like this. I read a few of the other reports on here about this same company, and they all had the same experience. My credit card company gave me full credit on 5 months of the $34.95 charges. They assured me there would be no repercussions from the company. We'll see.

I finally did find an 800 number for LiveCareer on another Internet search, 888-816-0576, and spoke to a live person. They pretty much read word-for-word what the person on the chat said. I imagine they have a lot of practice, as there are a number of complaints on here about them. Basically this is a rip off that the FBI or another federal agency should shut down or at least investigate. I guess in our country it is OK to setup a company like this and suck people dry without any legal consequences. I've had a long talk with our daughter about giving out our credit card to ANY company I do not know about, without contacting me first. Companies like Amazon, Ebay, and other well known businesses are no problem. But any company selling a service, buyer beware. Read everything in mouse size print prior to giving any billing info.
