NetworkAgenda.com review: Taking $9.95 from my account! 254

Unauthorized usage of my debit card after i had cancelled the order of a stupid CD. i have since gotten an overdraft on my account because i was supposed to have money in there, but they took it without my permission. Four times, ($9.95; $7.95; $9.95; $7.95) so therfore, i am out alot of money. and also $40.00 in overdraft charges.I want it back including overdraft charges. If needbe I will get ahold of the Better Business Bureau and sue you for lost money, overdraft charges, embarassment and also the loss of credit that i have worked hard my whole life to establish.

I received a charge of $7.95 agnst my credit card for something that I didnot order. whatever it is I donot waunt it so please credit it back. according to this website there is several complants of this type.

Who do these people think they are, going into peoples bank accounts and take out money without them knowing about it? Network Agenda got into my account and it put me into the red, so I got stuck with an overdraft charge. Maybe I should get me a lawyer. Maybe if enough people got lawyers they might stop getting into people's accounts

I just don't want these charges on my credit card again. I don't even know what Networkagender is. So don't charge me again.

I really have never heard of Networkagenda.com before; therefore I was surprised today when I checked my account and found out this company have charged me for $9.95. The only thing comes to my mind is a Grant Master CD I asked for which I was supposed to pay only for shipping and handling for 2.95. I really don't know how this happened; but through reading all the complaints on the web, I join the crew in trying to stop this scam.

I ordered and paid for a CD from Grant Search Assistant in Nov. 2007. I was given 10 days to cancel or my credit card would be billed. I called to cancel 8-9 days after I first ordered the CD. When I was asked why I was canceling, I told them they had nothing on their website that would be beneficial to me. I was told my order would then be canceled and given a confirmation number. The confirmation number was inadvertently thrown away by a member of my family while we were cleaning house.

I never did receive the CD I pd for; however my credit card is being billed every month by Network Agenda for $9.95/mo, and by BSM/SBA Express for $7.95/mo. I have filed a request with my credit card company to stop payment to these entities, however the charges are continuing to mount up. They have taken a total of $89.50 out of my credit card so far, and so far I have not been able to do anything to stop this from happening.

I am EXTREMELY upset about this. I was told the only thing I could do was to cancel my credit card and try to get another one, and that HOPEFULLY this ripoff would end. When a person calls and requests something to be stopped, the companies have an ethical responsibility to stop. This is obviously a company who has absolutely NO INTENTION of stopping any charges, whether or not they have been asked to so by the consumer.

Sent e-mail to the ryan address with reference numbers for NETWORKAGENDA.CO. Will be following up with phone call. What else is being done about this company and that BSM/SBA EXPRESS and the Grant Master CD. I think the legal system needs to get involved and I think that internet providers need to provide better security of accounts they allow to access the internet. If they have a complaint system and get numerous complaints about a service, suspend that services privilege to be on the internet.

So over a month ago I ordered a CD from Grant Master and read that I would need to pay $2.99 for shipping. I used my wifes bank card and just realized today that two weeks ago and this passing week they Charged two amounts for $39.95 twice and $7.95. Total so far i have almost lost $90 and whose to say it will stop there. It really upsets me to see this site going cause that means that hope of any of us getting our money back is not only going to be a really long process but, I might as well use the time I was going to be spending looking for money for school on nailing their butts to the wall and raping the company of all funds. That's if they even have our money still.

It wasn't mentioned on the website I used 4 times. "it said one time fee of $1.99" and I want my money back.

I signed up for Grantmaster and then cancelled my subscription. I then received 2 charges to my credit card. One from Networkagenda.com and one from BSM/BSAExpress. When I contacted them, both companies stated that when I signed up for Grantmaster I also signed up with them and since I did not call them to cancel they charged my account. Both stated that they would refund my credit card.

I have a Tribute Credit Card account and they have been charging my credit card every month $9.95 for a one time fee. It was for a Grant which was for ST

George UT. My name is Daniel Lee Troost. Can your company do something for me? I have Prepaid Legal Policy and will have them take the company to court and sue them for many times over what they have been taking money out of my account. Prepaid Legal Inc. has the top 11% attorneys in the country working for them and they will provide this service for me.

I was laid off for a month I was on my last $16.00 I went on the internet to make sure of my balance and all that was in there was $6.05. They took $9.95 out of my checking account I don't know who they are or what it is that I paid for.

I also have become a victim of Network Agenda. I will be filing
a complaint with Raven Media, the company that started this
problem. I cancelled with them within 21 days. Most of these
websites say they don't share your info.. wrong! I never heard
of Network Agenda!

I too am receiving a reoccuring charge and I want it to stop now.

Network agenda made a unathorized charge to my credit card in the amount of 7.95.

I ALSO HAVE NOTICED A WITHDRAWAL FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT OF $9.95 AFTER I ORDERED A CD ABOUT GRANTS. I DID NOT ORDER ANYTHING ELSE AS I DID NOT KNOW IF THIS CD WOULD HELP ME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE WITHDRAWAL AS I DID NOT O.K. IT.

I have been charged 9.95 by networkagenda.com for something I have no idea what its for or who they are. I want my money back.

I did not authorize this company to take money from my account. They have charged me for grant info that was supposed to be 1.95 only and charged me 19.95 and it cost me a twenty dollar service fee for overdraft. They then charged me for download of software I didn't order as I dont' have a computer at home that is hooked to the internet this was a 9.95 charge and again I was charged 20.00 service fee I know exactly how much i have in my account as i am DISABLED and have to use my money for meds. food, clothes, and my children to whom i am sole support. I want my money back in my account immediately along with the service charges. They were made to my account illegally and without my consent.

I have two unauthorized withdrawals from my account. Feb. 18, Mar. 17 and undoubtly again on Apr. 17, don't have that statement yet. I've tried to call, but have yet to talk to anyone due to time change. Stop all withdrawals!

THIS NETWORKAGENDA.COM TOOK 9.95 FROM MY ACCOUNT UNAUTTHORIZED

I requested a CD for research of grants available. Gave credit card number for shipping and handeling. I received the product but continue to see unauthorized charges on my statement. So far three total. $58.00 unauthorized charges.

We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the service and see the value of it for themselves before they are billed for it. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply. We would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period. It is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer. That is why we have the Terms and Disclosures are posted on the sales site directly above or below the "Ship My Kit" Button depending on the site you order from.

I have alot of charges on my credit card that I have not auturorized. I just looked at your site and it is very missleading.If it says free it means free if you are saying that after a certain amount of time you have to unsuscribe than you should make it clear and recive authorization.This looks like a scam.My credit card company is looking into this matter as to what legal action they will take.If you have proof of a signature for this than show it.

I have unauthorized billings of $7.95 by NETWORKAGENDA.COM to my credit card account on 3/19/08 & 4/18/08. I have never heard of this company, nor have I ever ordered from or signed up with them. This is a request for refund from this "outfit" !

Second time for this charge to be taken out of my account...know how to stop it from my end. This company needs to be investigated or something needs to be done about them.

You charged my bank the amount of $9.95 and I don't even know who you people are. Can you tell me who you are.

i TOO AM HAVING MONEYS WITHDRAWN FROM MY ACCOUNT FROM NETWORK AGENDA, EZSAVER, AMER LEIS, AND GRANT SEARCH TO THE TUNE OF ALMOST $80. i WANT IT STOPPED NOW, AND MY MONEY REFUNDED. i NEVER AUTHORIZED THIS & DEFINITELY CAN'T AFFORD. wHAT IS THIS B.S.?!

This company repeatedly charged my account for $9.95 a month. I did not purchase anything from them or request their services. I called to complain but they provided no contact information. They could not tell me what was supposedly paying for. I want this investigated so others do not get caught in this same scam.

I Also have a complaint against Networkanenda.com. They have been taking out 9.95 a month. I didn"t authorize this company to take a monthly payment out. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY REFUNDED TO ME!

I have been charged 7.95 for services i do not remeber signing up for . If I did I would like too cancel...

I just looked at my account, and yep they got 9.95 from me .Who the hell are these people and how do they get our information.I have never heard of them and never did business with them . But ever since I asked for a cd about gov.grants, I have been having trouble.I get all kinds of phone calls.and e-mails from people I don't have a clue how they got my number or e-mail address.I will contact my bank today and stop the 9.95 from going out again.I read everything on scams and do everything I can keep my self safe from scams. BUT now I don't do anything and I get taken.I am really sick of these people. thanks for listening .

I have a $9.95 charge to my bank account and
DO NOT know how they go my accouont number.
I did look at their site, but DID NOT order anything.
How do I get this charge cancelled.

I'm sorry to have to complain about this situation, but when I got my statement from the bank I notice there was a charge for 9.95 on my account, and I did not authorize this transaction. If my debit card was used it was not used by me. I have not recieved anything from you, because I keep up witheverything I get from the internet and you are nowhere to be found. I'm asking for you to please to put my money back into the my account. If I have to take further ation I will, but I hope this want be nessecary. Please email me when you have corrected the problem so I can fix my account and disregard the charge I never made.
Thank You
Terrie
Hope to hear from you soon.

I requested information from a grants company online to see about qualifying my mother who was gravely ill for possible monetary help. Nothing was apparent that this Networkagenda.com was going to scam money out of our account for services we never used. I contacted my bank and filed a fraud complaint and they are changing information to prevent recurring charges. I also contacted the FBI's website - ic3.gov and filed a complaint. I have also contacted the local BBB, my state attorney generals office AARP and several other influential agencies to alert people about this organization. What reputable company would hide their policies in lengthy small print to gouge you in small amounts that they knowingly hope you miss? What a horrible way to do business. They should be shut down.

I have charges on my credit card for not just one such site but 5 the total amount for all these site amounted to over 170.00, , I got all but this site discountinued but still had a none refundable charge of 170.00... I have been unable to reach the site of networkagenda.com to get that get my name and money of there list any ideas out there... Im affraid to go onto the site again that more charges will come up.

someone is useing my credit card fraudentudently

FYI Ryan R from Raven Media is also involved with GrantMaster.com. He has responded to a complaint on the GrantMaster Complaint Board. I got ripped off from Grantmaster for over 39.95 plus 2 other companies are taking $7.95 and $9.95 a month. Somehow (?) I got to this board and saw Ryan R. and knew this is a much bigger scam than we may have thought. I am going to file complaints with The Attorney Generals office, comsumer affairs, and any other department I can think of. Any suggestions, ideas on how to do something about this post it here. I have filed a dispute with my bank and will send them copies of these postings.

update:

called my credit card co again this am. Wanted to cancel the card. This time the fellow was very nice and helpful. He filed a dispute for all charges and credited me back all the charges from GGrant Master, network Agenda and one other company. He even credited me the over limit fee (another thingnthese companies did) Cancelled my card and issued me a new one. They will investigate alll 3 of them. I will still report them even though my Credit card company is.

I never order anything and they keep chargeing my credit 9.95 a month. Please have them stop.

I want to know how to get in touch with them so I can get my money back.
