Also I do not know where this came from only that it came off my bank card. After canceling I noticed I did not recieve a confirmation no. Is this co legal and did anybody get anything in mail i dont even know where this came from. I am really ticked off cause i dont know if my card no was given out to someone else.

| 1. Written by Kimberly, on 19-06-2008 21:38 I just got off the phone with Shopping Essentials after discovering my account had been charged several times at some "Shopping Club" whose phone number led to (you guessed it) Shopping Essentials. When I called I was told I signed up for some free 30-day trial (just as some previous complaints have stated) and never cancelled. I KNOW I never signed up for anything of the sort. The thing that got me in this jam: buying a Christmas present for my cousin from a catalog shown to me by a coworker. Warning for others:  NEVER buy from Catalog Favorites (or any of their subsidiaries)! |

| 6. Written by Rob, on 27-04-2008 15:00 My wife's card started having $29.95 a month for Shopping Esse on it. I though it was something she was buying. I saw the charge each month, but on a different date each month. Finally, one day, I asked her about it. She had no idea what it was. I looked online, SCAM! So, we call the credit card company, yadda, yadda. You know the drill. The credit card company said it would be a good idea to cancel that account and get a new credit card number and new cards. we agreed. A week later, new cards in the mail with a whole new number. We didn't need to use them yet, so we never put them in our wallets. Guess what? The new bill came and the ONLY charge on the NEW card was for $39.95 for Shopping Essent!! I got real irate this time and told the credit card company to issue the refund by check and cancel the new account too. And we did NOT open another account with that credit card company (a major, well-known one too) and will not ever again! |
| 7. Written by Liz, on 03-04-2008 08:41 The same thing happened to me. I called "Shopping Essentials" (the number was listed with the charge: 888 999 0564) and they said I applied for some rebate and had 30 days to cancel my subscription. They charged $19.95 to my credit card. When I called the operator didn't seem surprised and cancelled my so-called account. Most companies ask why you cancel or try to keep you but the operator just cancelled the account as if that's what he does all day... very strange. |
| 8. Written by sarah, on 05-03-2008 11:07 I as well had a couple of charges like this and called the number that was listed with the debit to my account. I have no idea what this company is but they canceled my "account". Sadly enough they certainly didn't refund any charges. |
| 9. Written by Kim, on 03-03-2008 10:57 I was charged $9.95 for the last two months and called Shopping Essentials at 888-243-6180. I was told that I signed up for a free trial subscription after purchasing something from PyramidCollection.com and since I didn't cancel, I was being charged. I really don't believe that I signed up for this service, whatever it is. I cancelled the subscription and will get a credit for the last charge (we'll see next month). |
