They send a brochure that you have to pay for. They then use the credit card info to bill customer for fictitious services.
Back in May 2006, I asked for an OSactionline brochure to be sent to my home and I paid the postage using my credit card. The brochure came and I was not interested in their service so I threw it away after reading it. It contained no invoice, no account number, no order confirmation, no contract. I never intended to buy any service from OSactionline, never received any service from them, never created an account with them, never agreed to have them charge my debit card. Then I left for Europe in July 06 and returned in January 07 only to find that this company and its affiliates had scammed me little by little of over $800 by randomly taking different amounts of my account under different names at random dates. My husband kept thinking I was spending the money in Europe and put cash whenever it was overdrawn. They never communicated any of their business to me, by email, phone or letter (no invoice, no statement, just no communication). They just helped themselves in cash until it went noticed. OS Action line seems to have many faces and affiliates and debited my account under different names.
The affiliates of OSactionline are:

Hi! Thanks for the tips. osactionline and its disciples are part of a publicly traded company name cnsumer loyalty group. Their stocks are less than $1, how surprising. Don't forget to complain on the bbb. They are serious about rating companies (os is an F so far) and I go a little bit of money back through their mediation tool. They need to go down!
I have been scamed recently of about $800 from osactionline and its disciples. I have been fighting to get my money back and I have some suggestions for the next scammed "customer".
1. Immediatly cancel your credit card or debit card before calling them (reverse charges can still go through if they decide to reimburse you at least that is what happened on my debit card) I say before you call them to cancel because that is when they charged me twice.
2. Call your credit card company or bank and file a fraudulent charges complaint. They are limited to 4 months back in banks (I don't know for credit cards). That is how I got most of my money back.
3. Call osactionline and threaten that you are taking action, use any leverage you may have and good arguments. The truth will do because they exactly know the scam they are performing. Cancel your "account" at osactionline and don't forget the other affiliates (buydiscount, etc...) They may reimburse you some money right away. I got some that way.
3. Go on the bbb (they already are an F rating), ripoff.com, and google search other national complaint websites, and cut and paste your complaint everywhere. You may avoid future scams like that. The bbb is a mediation tool. They will send your complaint to osactioline and you may get some more cash back. I did.
4. I did not go to the police or the attorney general, but it is a good idea.
5. Write to ebay to let them know what this company claiming to work with them does. Ebay does not mess around, so I can help.
6. osactioline are part of a publicly traded company whose name is consumer loyalty group. Their stocks are below 1 dollar, which is not surprising, but write to them, to let them know that YOU know. I am sure there is a way to formally complain about a dishonest public company and they could go down.
7. Do not give up. If you don't care about the money, think about the future scams and how you felt when you first found out.
Yes i too have been taking by this bunch of fraudsters i paid 1.95 for an ebay portfolio and got 49.95 usd taken from my account twice yet i have received nothing from them not even the bill for 1.95 they are criminals

ATTENTION! ATTENTION: They are using my credit card. They had debited U$49.95 (march 3 2007). I do not know who are they! The resume of credit card have: 8009309932ONLINSUD1 OF [protected] CA. What can we do ? ! - Thieves, Pickaxes!
I signed up with os action line, pd $1,95-will pay $59.95 per month after 14 days. After 10 days I get out. Wish I'd saw your sight sooner.
I would like them to stop billing me for something i just wanted information on and i want to stop being charged for something im not even doing.
Three times $29.95 was taken out of my account by 8009303520BUYDISCOUNT [protected] CA
How can i get my money back from them which i never orders anythings from them? And how can i find out where this coming from and to contact them for refunds?
Similar thing has been happened with me my credit card has been billed for two months. I cannot imagine that they or any can get my credit card information.
Why dont people ban this site .
First noted unauthorized transactions on 05/10/07 in the amount of 2 1.00 charges from AP9*SAVINGSMART.COM [protected] CT and 3 for 1.95 USD from 8007061681INVESTINSUC [protected] CA / 8007061820SEARCHINSTO [protected] CA / and 8009309932ONLINSUPLIE [protected] CA / I called them to complain and they tried to tell me that I had signed up with them on may 6th at 11:00. - This is very interesting seeing as how I was at work at the time. The 2 charges from AP9*VALUEMAX and SAVINGSMART.COM have been reversed and I am still waiting for the other companies to reverse the other charges.
The agent at 8007061681INVESTINSUC [protected] told me that the “sign up” was made from IP address 149.9.0.56. A reverse search of this address with “IP Net Info” shows “Org Name: PSI / OrgID: PSI-1 / Address: 1015 31st St NW / City: Washington / State: DC / Postal Code: 20007 / Country: US / Net Range: 149.9.0.0 - 149.9.255.255 / OrgAbuseEmail: abuse@cogentco.com (this is the address to complain to about these IP addresses ) / OrgNOCName: Cogent Communications / OrgNOCPhone: +[protected] / OrgNOCEmail: noc@cogentco.com / I have sent them an E-mail about this issue.
I called my card processing station and reported my card as compromised but I still got another hit on my account for $44.95 by GTI*MENS HEALTH ONL P [protected] NY. Tried to call them but they are only open M-F 10:00 to 4:00 EDST. Will call them on Monday. Now for the next 2 weeks I have to use nothing but cash and that is very difficult in modern society
Best of Luck To All of Us in this leaky old boat

FYI - If you try the 800 or 888 number listed at the end of the transaction 8007061681INVESTINSUC [protected]) CA you may get through to an agent who MIGHT help you get this resolved. Be firm, calm cool and collect but most of all BE FIRM.

I am in the same situation, I am asking this company continually to reimburse my money but they don't even answer my messages. Is there any one over there that can come to their office and set it on fire?
I never signed up for this company. I am being billed for something that I didn't even sign up for. These online scams need to go!
Hi i live in australia just wondering if anyone can tell me how to contact BUYDISCOUNT8009303520 they have ripped me off over $150 now its just not right, thanks for anybodies help

This is the email address needed to unsubscribe from any of these. No doubt they will invent many other names, so just ask to unsubscribe to anything that they have you subscribed to and to stop charging your credit card for anything at all.
Then call your credit card company at the number on the back of your card and make a disputed item complaint.
This company works by having all the boxes already ticked when you pay for some low value like a $1.95 item and they trick you into subscribing when you don't even realize that you have done it.

My credit card was too charged with US$ 49.95 monthly. This is so disgusting!
I have no idea of these people at all but money was taken out of my account without me knowing about it and has left me in the hole with my bank im not happy with this at all
I am currently trying to get a refund from this company. I canceled the "free" trial and was charged anyway. I have called the company and requested a refund twice. I have not received one and just get the run around. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and will be canceling my debt card. I signed up for something else not realizing that I was signing up with this company but from what I've read here their all the same.
My services were cut off in April the very next hour my bill was paid and everything was back on... except my internet, no pic mail can be sent or received and i cant get to my pics on my online account! Sprint says its a service issue and to solve it I have to get a 2nd account with a new number which means i lose everything plus they're still charging me for online and pic mail and why do i have to pay if its there mess up right? My contract is up in 5 weeks and sprint wont get another dime from me!
I got billed by this site for $49.95 twice and when I received my statement from the bank I immediately researched the contact number on my statement. When I googled it this site turned up. So I called Well Fargo immediately and filed a complaint. It turns out I got a membership from some bogus site that makes websites for you or something. They helped me get a refund but I only got a $49.95 refund not a $99.9 refund. It really pisses me off! I am glad I got a refund as opposed to those who didn't even get a penny of their money back. I hope these conmen get what they deserve! These kind of men are the people who take your hard earned money without consent. Someone should really stop these scams.
Same thing happened to me. I paid for a brochure (so I thought). Unfortunately I didn't realize what the change was for on my bank statement because I let my son use my card to make purchases on line. It wasn't until I got an email notification about a change to my account. When I looked into it that's how I learned that they had been deducting $29.95 from my bank for 18 months. When I called customer service they said that they would cancel "my membership" and I was told they would refund me for 2 months, which they did. Shame on me for not paying more attention to my bank statement. Shame on me for allowing myself to be ripped off. SHAME ON THEM FOR BEING SCAM ARTIST hoping to find people like me to take advantage of.
I have learned my lesson. No more internet offers for me. You don't get anything for free. Don't believe it.
Dont go to start talent! They rip you off with other things such as healthy rewards! Even if you dont agree to it!
Same thing happened to me - 29.95 deducted per month from BUYDISCOUNT. I never signed up for this. I ended up closing my bank account so they couldn't steal from me any more.
The card had a membership number, and at the bottom it said that it's a 14 day trial after which I will be charged $59.95 per month. I caled the toll free number [protected] to cancel the card I never wanted in the first place. No one answered my call, and there was no way to leave a message. I called the next day, and the next day. Finally a woman answered. I told her to cancel whatever they sent me. I spent 10 munites on the phone with her just trying to explain what I want to be done. I then called my credit card company and canceled my account. They wanted me to change the card number and leave the account, but since I don't know how this all started I decided to leave the bank.
I also read other people complain about this OSActionLine, and from what I am reading I feel lucky I didn't lose money on this scam. Check your bills and close the card if this company gets you.
