MWI Connections credit card billing ripoff scam Nationwide

In response to the woman who wrote in about MWI Connections ripping off her VISA bill for $109.95.

I just found out yesterday the company had done it to me as well! This time it was for a larger amount, $149.95! Same response from them...they will credit the amount, gave me their name & ID number, was put on hold several times to talk to different people. Funny thing about this was, they all sounded like the same person!

I was informed that it was something with "Graduate Connections." Once I asked for that number, it was conveniently deleted from their computer files. I was also informed that my VISA had been billed annually since Sept, 2001. The first annual bill was for the amount of $84.00, the second for the amount of $109.95, and the current charge of $149.95.

Upon further questioning, she informed me that someone from my household authorized it. My husband & I have 2 separate accounts so it couldn't have been him who authorized it (he does not know my account number)!

I called information for the Graduate Connections number and such company doesn't exist. So, I started searching the internet. I am so glad to see this Rip-off Report. I am not the only victim! Is there any way to catch this scam artists and put them out of business?????
