Complaint Review: AP9*TodaysEscapes - Omaha Nebraska

This company is a deceptive telemarketer that is in the business of inventing, creating, running and spinning off numerous businesses each of which is designed to repetitively steal money from credit cards and bank accounts every month. They call and promise to send you coupons worth hundreds of dollars at stores, or to send you a coupon for $50.00 of free gas if you just give them your credit or debit card number and they promise not to charge you anything, or only charge you a nominal fee if you cancel before the end of the trial period. They then fail to deliver the promised coupons or anything in the mail with information about the program or how to cancel it. Instead they silently charge your debit or credit card every month. This company is predatory marketing at its worst. It has an unsatisfactory rating with the Better Business Bureau and has ripped off many thousands of people. Information regarding the perpetrators of this fraud from the BBB is contained below.

Nature Of Business

Vertrue is a holding company with a number of subsidiaries that design and sell membership programs under a variety of names that offer consumers discounts in the areas of healthcare, travel, family entertainment and fashion.

The Company's subsidiaries market membership programs via direct mail, telephone and the Internet and by contracting with unaffiliated third party marketers who offer the company's membership programs to their customers. Generally the programs are offered on a thirty-day trial period, and often with the offering of a gift certificate redeemable at a major retail store as an incentive to agree to the terms of a trial membership for the program. Under the terms of the trial offer, no charge is billed to the customer's credit or debit card if, within the trial period, the customer contacts the company and cancels the membership. If the customer has not cancelled the membership by the end of the trial period, the membership fee is automatically charged to the customer's credit or debit card. Memberships are automatically renewed and charged to the customer's credit or debit card or bank account at the then current price until the customer cancels the program.
