I've been receiving emails that somehow slip past my filtering and end in my Important emails... they're all complete nonsense and they all share the same mailing address as thinkcreditreports.com. I am afraid that I unsubscribed from one of their emails and now they know my email address is valid.
I just got off the phone with the company...signed up without my knowledge...and billed 1.00 in June and 29.95 for four months before I caught it. This is a rip off company and if you have to hide your underhanded way of conducting your business then the original intention of the company is for the purpose of ripping people off.
I just got hit! I got a call from my fraud detection center and found out about these dudes are charging my card. I'm trying to fix it now. Don't trust ThinkCreditReports.com. They should be prosecuted!
I had my money taken without my permission; tried to get it returned but they would not. They gave me a way to access the account but it doesn't work, so I will be closing my bank account asap. P. Dove.
Stay away from think credit reports its a scam, its bad news and once they get you the only way to get rid of them is to close your bank account which is complicated and a hassle, they are crooks posing as the internet police.
thinkcreditreports runs a scam in which you are charged $29.95 per month after paying $1.00 as part of the free seven day trial period.When you call them to contest the charge or to close your account, they invariably try to entice you to stay by offering you reduced monthly charges.Over the course of the phone conversation, they offered me $19.95, then 14.95, 9.95 and finally $4.95.in the end they refused my request for a full refund. I then closed the account and received a cancellation number.I'd stay away from them even though they claim they offer you credit reports from three reporting agencies- and they do. It's just that their charges are outrageous and their sales tactics are unethical and morally wrong.
These people should be banished. Why they are still allowed to continue doing business is beyond me. Needless to say,as many of you, I was promised 3 FREE credit reports for $1 and would have that refunded within 7 days, Like many of you, I never received the reports, and still await my $1. They are scammers of the highest order. There should be a law against such predators.
The most dangerous word on the Internet is "FREE." I have been scammed enough times to learn the hard way not to fall for this gimmick.Case in point: thinkcredit.com. Stay away from it; carefully check your credit card statement to avoid the monthly $29.95 charges.
This is a big scam, they fool other people with their advertisement of $1/ month, but they are collecting $29.95.They are tricking plenty of people in this think-credit 800.
These people are scammers. Without my authorization they billed me $29.95 for a product that I didn't buy and I didn't need. I called the company (the real one). They have no record of the transaction. So, I immediately contacted the bank and reported the transaction.
Scamm...Scam...stealing money from consumers...$29 at a time shame on them...!
