i have been charged twice now once for 25.00 and once for 38.00 for a promotion that was supposed to cost a total of 5.00. these charges are being added to my debit card without my authorization. i want this practice stopped NOW

I signed up for a mail order coffee club. It was supposed to be a once-a-month thing, but they are sending me packages more than once a week! I called and canceled.
Don't join this coffee club!

Total rip off.. I signed up for this service with the understanding I could cancel at any time. They charged me the initial $25.00 then two days later $38.95 and another day later $38.95. My credit card company called and asked if this was a fraud charge. I called them and got major attitude about how this is what i signed up for. I told them i was not expecting two charged of $38.95 each. They said they would cancel my account. So far no credit to my account. Their coffee sucks also.

Okay, this site has helped me a lot because I have been scammed by this company as well. They advertise under the name SEATTLE COFFEE DIRECT but charge you under two different names METRO COFFEE ROASTERS CO. and BELLAZE COFFEE & TEA. Now what I did was use my debt card because that's my main account and all that jazz. Thankfully, I did not use a credit card because I never check the charges made on them, where as I check my checking account every day at least once a day. I noticed the first charge automatically and ran straight to my bank and turned off my debt card and filled a freud claim through my bank since I did not sign a membership w/ the company. (I only ordered ONE item) Then I got their number and called to cancel the "membership" that I did not agree to. NOw what I should have done right away was email my bank as well because I received a second charge that I did not agree too and was assured was not coming. I was looking for the refund coming in "3-5 business days" as said in their email to me.

Yesterday (monday the 12th of march) I called them again to tell them my issue with their company and got a second story of how I was sent two shipments and one would have to returned before a refund while the second shipment was stopped, but the payment went through. So I automatically went to my bank and this is what I suggest you all do if you want to keep your account:
1) transfer all your funds into a savings or credit card that allows you to get cash.
2) turn OFF any overdraft protection security nets you have in place.
3) send an email to you bank/card through your bank/card web site telling them the situation, give them the names of the company AND ASK THEM TO STOP PAYMENT TO THIS COMPANY!

Mine did and it took them ONE day to get back to me about it. Good luck everyone!!!

SCAMMERS AND CROOKS!
DO NOT SIGN-UP FOR ANY OF THEIR PROMOTIONS—DO NOT BUY THEIR COFFEE, MUGS, GRINDERS, ETC!!
The first order was billed at $25.00 --this amount bought 2 coffee mugs, 2 metal coffee mugs and 2 bags (12 oz. each) of flavored coffee and no grinder which was offered in the sign-up order. I received my order quickly and then 2 days later on a Friday received more and checked my account and saw that they charged me $38.95 using the name “Bellezza Coffee” on the charge. They said if I returned the package (not the coffee) un-opened then they would refund me and not charge for shipping—I opened it to find out what or why it was sent so soon…so now I re-taped package and will try to put “return to sender” and take it to the post office. I have to now report to my bank and stop all payments from these crooks.
