WPI Friends Fraudulent credit card charges I have never heard of them, ripoff! Lake Worth Florida

After Jeremy posted the above RipOffReport complaint, we were able to locate his account with iFriends. The iFriends account to which Jeremy refers was created in January of this year. In the process of creating the account, Jeremy's name, billing address, email address, credit card information, and other personal information were entered. This information was independently verified by Visa.

While the standard iFriends membership carries no charge, Jeremy affirmatively chose to enroll in the upgraded iFriends Elite membership when he created his account. This membership carries a monthly charge. This charge was clearly and conspicuously disclosed in advance, and Jeremy participated in numerous click-throughs to indicate his acknowledgement and consent to the monthly charge. Since Jeremy's complaint indicates that he does not use the service and does not wish to have a membership with iFriends, we have cancelled the account and have refunded all charges which were billed to him.

We provide a link to email and telephone contact information on every page of our website, and every charge that we bill includes the toll-free telephone number at which we can be contacted, if the user has any questions about the charge or about his account. Despite this, Jeremy never contacted us to question the charges which had appeared on his bill. Had he done so, we would have been happy to immediately refund the charges and cancel the account. If Jeremy has any further questions or concerns, we encourage him to contact our Customer Care Department at 1-800-243-9726. Representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I have to admit, I had my doubts, however, when the same thing happened to my nephew I was pleasantly surprised that they fixed the error immediately. One phone call should get it reversed without any more hassle.

Good Luck!
