Talent Hold Svc And/or Hollywood Profiles Credit card rip off for $49.95 per month - Fight back! Credit card provider can charge it back which will hurt the scammers and start a fraud investigation thru their bank and phone company North Hollywood Los Angeles California

This company contacts you thru email or phone. I found reports of the same scam on several web sites including www.whocallsme.com which listed the 'contact 'number the use for billing. The scam: they offered information for a fee of $1.95 then billed that amount to my credit card plus $49.95 per month for the last four months. They have never contacted me further and the number that is posted on my credit card bill 1 800 270 7138 is a message machine that pretends you will be answered but never picks up the call. On my bill the only physical address listed is N Hollywood.

On other reports I've researched on the same scam the address is Santa Monica. My credit card company has charged back their bank and credited back the charges to me but doesn't seem to know how to stop them. They did tell me though that Talent SVC will be charged by their bank every time they get a charge back so this is the way to fight them. Meanwhile try reporting this to the phone company and the California State Attorney General's office because they muist pay their phone bill and they must have a bank account, so there must be people who can be arrested for fraud.
