Value Plus
Reviews and Complaints

I received a letter with a subscriber number informing me that this was my # to log on to receive my $50.00 in gift cards. I remember ordering product from Body Control and this offer was made to me at that time. This is a total scam! If you receive one of these call the number IMMEDIATELY and cancel because after 7 days you will start to be billed for it's subscription. These people need to be put out of business and prosecuted for FRAUD.

WC value has been taking $16.95 out of my bank account for the last 3 months. I never ordered anything from them
nor do I even know what they sell. These withdrawls have never been authorized by me! I tried contacting them through the number on my bank statement but they just kept me on the line; [protected]) I want my money
refunded immediately and would like to file a complaint of fraud against them. with all the complaints I just read about them I'm wondering if there are any law suits against them.

This company took money from my credit card fraudulently for $16.95. It occurred after I visited a site that they are involved with; where I had purchased some items for my sister's wedding. I never agreed to any purchased or memberships. I was told by my bank not to call them when I discovered by googling that they had been in trouble with the attorney general of Minnesota for this before. My credit card was canceled, I called and filed a police report with the PA state police, and reported it to the Federal trade commissions of PA and Washington, D.C. as well as the Securities and exchange commission.

I did this because this company may have only taken a small amount from me, but they have been Allegedly scamming people since 2001 and nobody seems to care. It is the principle of the whole thing. They are a huge company and are in business with some very very well known businesses to help with marketing and advertising. They even have a identity theft company, isn't that a hoot.

Anyway, I have done hours of research on this company and the state trooper who spoke with them on my behalf was told I purchased a membership for food and entertainment and received paperwork and a $25 Walmart gift card. All of this was false. If I had gotten a gift card; being disabled, I would have definitely used it.( How funny, this can be easily checked.) When I spoke with the same gentleman, he said I purchased an 'As seen on TV' item and refused to tell me exactly what it was I bought, but had all my important information; demographics, e-mail address, credit card numbers, etc.

I do fear retaliation by this company, but after all the reporting I have done I think they would be not too smart to try that in my opinion. I feel badly for those people who are older or don't speak English well who have also been taken. If you Google the name Provell, Inc. you will even find an article from a former employee who says that Value Plus-V is a' fake company' and that is the name that appeared on my bank account with a different 1-800 number. I hope this helps somebody so that others don't get ripped off as well.

I noticed an unfamiliar charge of $19.95 to my bank account for "WC *VALUE PLUS-V [protected] MN ". I called the number and was told that I was calling membership services and that all calls would be recorded for quality assurance purposes. As I was waiting to talk to a representative, a recorded voice told me that if I wanted to cancel, I could go to their website (https://www.programstop.com/index.html). Just as I got the website, a representative came on the phone. At first she couldn't find my information, but then she said she canceled my account. I had to ask her to refund the last charge, but she wasn't authorized to refund any other past charges. She couldn't tell me how I got signed up for their services--apparently they're a consumer service program that gives discounts and coupons, but she couldn't tell me how I signed up for this "service". Also, I've never received any discounts or coupons because of this. I smell scam. At least it wasn't hard to cancel. We'll see if that refund comes through.

I received a letter in the mail saying as promised, we're giving you $40 in cash-back gas rebates just for signing up for value plussm. Log on to www.valueplusonline.com/open/form/40. well when trying to sign onto the website no such website existed, when I called them on the phone the lady said you will be receiving your $40 in cash-back gas rebate in 7-10 business days never received it and that was 2-3 months ago. I never wanted a membership with these people and they sent me an e-mail saying "welcome to your membership", I immediately called them and told them off and told them I did not want anything they had to offer. Then, I immediately cancelled my credit card so they wouldn't have the chance to take my hard earned money. These people are major ripoffs! They should be fined, prosecuted, and shut down permantly.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

S. Mock

After nearly 1 year in the program, Provell, Inc. canceled my membership before honoring the rebates offered under the program. The cancelation occured because I requested to update my account information because the cc on file would expire in the near future. I called the 800 telephone number provided and asked to update my account information and gave the reason for my request. I explained to the rep that I did not want to cancel my membership, only to update the account info so I could continue with the program. Unbeknowst to me the rep at the 800 number canceled my membership but did not tell me. I learned after e-mailing the membership services website that my account was canceled. I've tried unsuccessfully via e-mails and letter to get the account reinstated but have not heard anything. In addition, I had submitted receipts for reimbursements under the program prior to the reps cancelation and they have not sent the rebate.

I feel like I've been ripped off!

I received vitamins from this company on a trial basis, for the cost of shipping and handling. The next month I received the vitamins, I sent them back with cancel on the box. I tried to contact the maker, but was unable to find the URL.
I have been getting charges on my credit card since. I had to contact my credit card service to have them stop payment, I have no product, but they have 19.95, x 3 at least. The credit card company has temp. given me a credit till they can investigate. Do NOT do any business with these people.
They are crooks.

My X boyfriend put my bank accounts online, and ordered a few things, using my checking account. Papile ordered Adult Entertainment from VALUE-V Plus. How can I find out what else he took out of my Bank accounts? Thank You, Kathy Maier [protected]

I saw a TV ad endorsed by a Vet to reduce pain to your dog/cat while cutting the nails(Peticure Petite). I ordered the item via online. I was than charged an unaurthorized additional charge by Value Plus-V in the amount of $16.95. I have opened a Fraud Complaint against Value Plus-V with my bank. Further, I have filed a Complaint with the State Attorney General of Texas against Peticure Petite and the Attorney General of the Corporate location of Peticure in Walled Lake, Michigan [protected] as a result of their sharing personel information that resulted in the Fradulent Unauthorized charge.

i got the message of no website for valueplusonline.com/open/form/10...i called the [protected] and was closed so they gave me the website for programstop.com..there i filled out a form with the subscriber number and my information and stopped them from billing me..i will follow up and make sure i am not billed by any companies and if i am i will file a complaint with the arizona state attorney generals office...try the website and see if you can get results, getting ripped off makes me furious.

My Visa/debit card was just charged $16.95 from WCValue Plus-V. I knew I hadn't used it for that, I had only made 2 online purchases with companies I wasn't familiar with, I received my products, but 1 of those 2 companies must have given out my card info. I told my bank that there are other complaints online, so they said I should file a fraud complaint with them, & cancel my card, which I will be doing, & I will never make another online purchase with my credit card again.

I have just received a welcome letter for ValuePlus Online.
I have no idea who they are, but they gave me a membership
number. They say I subscribed with #[protected].
Please help me discontinue this company. I am not interested,
and did not subscribe to their company.

I cancelled my order about a month ago and called back to confirm the cancellation. I was supposed to receive an email confirmation as well as my membership number. I want my membership number sent to me thru email: [protected]@dworden.com I want to receive my gift cards and you haven't given me all the paperwork I need. I need the member number. I also want to review your product when I am not in a hurry. You gave me no time before I was getting billed or before I could even see the possibilites. Please follow up with my member number by email. Thank you.

I was scammed by "Value Plus" because as promised to me just for signing up I was promised $40.00 in a cash-back rebate and as another welcoming gift "Value Plus" Bonue Offer - A free $1, 000.00 grocery savings certificate (all name brands). I was given a subscriber # and I went to log on to the site to get te gas rebate and was taken by surprize when I was confronted with 2 pages on how this company was a scam and offered others like myself promises of rebates and savings on meber benefits. I was given the option to cancell and I didn't now somethng was fishy until I tried to call the # to find out what I was exactly paying $19.95 per month for amd I was unsure if I wanted to cancel the membership but all as I got every time I called it was a recording. I have now been stuck paying the $19.95 per month with no wat to cancel an I have not received one benefit from this SCAM of a company! I would like to know if there is a way if I can report this somehow to the FBI because they are making a lot of $ off of the people who are looking for savings because of the rising cost of living these days, like myself. I want all my money back from the last 7 1/2 mths that they have been scamming me for. If possible can someone PLEASE get back to me to ive me advice on what to do?
Thank You,

Charges have been showing up on my master card bill since January 2008, I have just discovered. My credit card company is Cardmember Services. It's phone # is [protected]. The charges (monthly) is 19.95. I just noticed because it is the only charge on my account. I want these charges removed and credited to my account immediately. I do not want anymore charges added to my master card account.

I was never able to go online and log in so I need to make a complaint since they took my money and I will have to change my credit card acct now so they don't take my money... funny how there is this site... bogus companies like this should be fined and shut down...
