LiveCareer - unauthorized credit card charge for over 14 months
I used live Career for resume builder in Dec.2014 for 99 Cent.
Over a year's time, Live career charged my credit card of 39.8 USD every month without sending me any invoice or getting any of my persimmon.
Not until Jan.2016 did i just found out this problem, then i contacted their team by phone, email and left message to inform them to cancel charging my card. However, they still charged me in Feb.2016.
After rounds of emails, they only agree to send one month refund back to my credit card 39.8 USD, however, i have not received any money yet.
This is totally a cheating scheme.
I Request to refund all my money back from Dec. 2014 till Feb.2016.
The total of 557.2 USD.
I've been dealing with this for a month, my patience is running out!
I'm going to report to the Fraud department for livecareer cheating customer!

LiveCareer - cancellation of service and refund of the amount fraudulently deducted
I had opt for your service in September and after the initial payment of $1.30 I had cancelled your service online but fraudulently without any intimation you kept deducting and a total of $198 has been deducted. I need an immediate refund of all the money unknowingly deducted from my account even after cancellation of your service. This is really a scam, I need my refund as I have not even used any of your service and the deduction charges have increased from $39 to $51 now . This is not acceptable I need the refund.
Hi Katrina,
I have not received any private message from you, anyways I have done all the cancellations long time before as also mentioned in my previous mail this is causing a lot of problems and even yesterday $ 51 has been deducted. I am also not receiving any intimations of renewing or cancellations I have also informed my bank in detail about this fraud and I need a refund anyways, your customer care no is not reachable tried many times nor even your live chat. This is a lot of fraud and the amount is only increasing.

LiveCareer - billing methods
On November 2015 I purchase what was first supposed to be a free resume template which later turned out to be a $2.95 trial charged on my credit card to which I never received a confirmation email to my order; only a password renewal email on what was really a 2 month re-charge of 34 something dollars after realizing the problem. This is what they call a re-newel paid subscription. Isn't this so wittingly confusing? Lured into this approach, I was confused and now very sad and stressed:over 100 $ for a one time printed Resume! Seems hundreds of people have been victims of such procedure since 2013 and it has been going on for years. Isn't it time this stopped? Why hasn't it? I want this particular question answered. Sincerely disappointed, George

LiveCareer - unauthorized credit card charges
Live Career Ltd owns multiple resume building scam websites. Their sites sell you resume building services for nominal fees and then begin charging your credit card a monthly fee 36x the amount. It was 2 months before I caught this happening on my credit card. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company and will fight to be refunded everything, but this company should be shut down before this happens to more people.

I agree with you...it happened to me as well. In January I needed help with a cover letter and I used Live Careers services for $1.95. Within days after that they kept charging my card .33 cents, $1.00, and small transactions like that for what reason, I do not know. I emailed twice and went on the site to cancel my subscription before they charged me anymore and got no response, only to be charged $39.80 even though I had asked to cancel. When I called to cancel the man on the phone said that he would cancel my membership but couldn't talk to me about a refund because he could not do it for me, but that the billing department would email me in "2-3 business hours"...business hours? UHM...days? He said that the billing department had no phone number I could contact them by. This all sounded a bit shady to me. When I started to read reviews on Google about how this is a scam I decided to must cancel my debit card and get a new one, and also file a claim against this company to get my money refunded to me. I sure hope that you got your money refunded and I hope they get shut down if this is the kind of business they run. I hate scammers!

LiveCareer - scheme going on for years!!!
On August 24, 2015 my mother did me the favor to purchase what was first supposed to be a free resume template which later turned out to be a $2.95 trial charged on my ATM credit card to which I never received a confirmation email to my order; only a congratulations on what was really a 5 month re-charge of 34 something dollars after realizing the problem. This is what they call a re-newal paid subscription. Isn't this so wittingly confusing? Lured into this approach, I was confused and now very sad and stressed:$174.00 for a one time printed Resume! Seems hundreds of people have been victims of such procedure and it has been going on for years. Isn't it time this stopped? Why hasn't it? I want this particular question answered. Sincerely disappointed, Tina

LiveCareer - fraudulent charges
On February 27th, 2015 I used this website called livecareer.com to help me create a quick resume. This was supposed to be a 0.95 one-time charge, but it automatically keeps charging me $40 per month for the following four months (from March to June) without any authorization, totally $165, 97! The fee is listed towards the bottom of the page, and when actually entering credit card info, there is no mention of the automatic charge that will be debited every four weeks. The monthly fee should be clearly listed on the final payment page. Clearly "let the buyer beware" should be foremost in your mind with this company. Download resume templates from microsoft.com. But don't use this service!
