i was a victim too. shopping essentials has charged me $19.95 for two months now. i am trying to cancel my membership by calling the custmer service but they are very hard to reach.

how i wish i can cancel my membership before they charge me again the third time this coming may 28,2008. i am very frustrated knowing that many have been victims of these scam.

they must have an easy way to reach and contact them if their clients needs to cancel their membership. it's not a small thing to be charge an amount monthly againts your will.

please help us.

This happened to me with Shopping Essentials. Apparentlly they are an "add-on" when signing up for classmates.com. I called 888-999-0564 to blast them about the unauthorized credit card charges they billed me for. Call your card company too, and dispute the charge. Beware of any company that would do business with these sleazeballs! (I cancelled my classmates membership too). 

What a tacky way to try and get business.

The number appears on your statement with the charge. It's 888-243-6180. I just had this occur to me. They were charging my card for 6 months. THe first person I spoke to said she could only reverse the latest fee. I then demanded to speak to a supervisor and warned her that I would be reporting the charges to my bank as fraudulent. She immediately said she would reverse all fees. Good luck!

Call the credit card company. If shopping essentials is making fraudulent charges on your card, the bank should intervene on your behalf.
