If you did not completely read the TOS technically you are at fault.\n\nIf classmates.com does not refund your money you have several options: Call the BBB, contact a local newspaper business editor to see if he/she will call classmates.com on your behalf (companies HATE negative business columns), or call your state's AG (Attorney General).\n\nClassmates.com may have a long history of this, if so once you contact the AG you may have a better shot at getting your money back.\n\nAlso you can try filing a charge back on your credit card.

I graduated with honors and had never even heard of this before... I decided to look around a little online and found their site. It appears legit. \nHOWEVER -- it has been the source of a great deal of debate because people often do not understand why they tell you that you must pay a fee. This really is not any different than the majority of other college level honor societies. Most require members to pay a "lifetime membership fee". Not all do, but many do. The NSCS does belong to the Association of College Honor Societies, which is an offical organization. If you don't want to pay the $75 though, you could always frame the letter of invitation or put it in a scrapbook.

sorry to hear you got scammed. Really, is there anything you can do? I'm not sure. Why not go through the staff? \nHow'd you get scammed anyway? I don't quite see how... then again, I'm probably cautious to the point of being anal about it. \nMy advice it really to go through the admins. I'm not really sure that there's a way around it.

I ordered a Wii for my son from this company on Wednesday and I have spent the past 2 days trying to cancel the order because of the sh-t I have been reading about them.  I even did it through Google Checkout to protect my purchase, but, guess what, no one will return my e-mails at ABCnet23, Google keeps sending me generic e-mails about how to check my order, ABCnet 23 doesn't answer their phones and all calls go to a voice mailbox which is full.\n\nAfter a ver frustrating couple of days of trying to cancel an order which I know wasn't shipped yet and probably never will be, I contacted the Better Business Bureau and filed a complaint.  I suggest you do the same - these people are scammers and Google sucks for not trying to help or protect their customers!\n\ngo to www.bbb.org to file

Unfortunately I don't hold out much hope for you getting anything from Andy's.  I too discovered (unfortunately too late) they're a very disreputable company with a significant number of unresolved/ignored complaints filed with the local BBB in Milpitas, CA.  Their employees simply lie to you about cancelling orders and providing refunds.  Your only recourse is to dispute the charge with your credit card company as I have done.

I got a postcard in the mail, and was propositioned for the same fee to complete the applications.  I told the operator I would think about it and call back - then I hung up the phone and did a search to see what this company was about.  They have no web page, but there are a bunch of comments from people who have gotten ripped off from this company.  I called the company right back and told them to remove my name form their database and to not contact me ever again.  Fortunately I had not given them my bank account information.\n\nYou can do the search by typing the company's name into the URL address bar and pressing enter on your keyboard.  Read the comments and decide for yourself.\n\nI did find a page on the BBB http://www.newyork.bbb.org/reports/businessreports.aspx?pid=44&page=1&id=86754\nThat shows this company is not a member wiht the BBB - you can check it out too.\n\nAll in all - my research indicates that this is not a company wirht doing business with.

I too have tried to contact these Rat B----ds... They are trying to take 99.98 out of my account. I ordered their "supposedly" FREE trial and then I get this bill for over $200.00.\nI just called the number 1-800-752-0196 and got someone who is with Oral Brite.. No idea who they are, but they said to call back tomorrow when someone will be there from Metabofuel1000.\nI guess they rotate the boiler room staff.\nLet's get a Class Action Suit going against them <grin> NOT FUNNY!\nLets keep trying to get this right.  I will be out of town until 4-10-06... Please respond to this e-mail catern200@yahoo.com\nGod Bless you all\nErnie

try looking for contact numbers of your classmates on that suject or maybe try contacting your professor and ask him if you can hae anoter copy sent to you through mail or e-mail... you just hae to burden the fees... it's possible i think, you can give it a try right?

contact your alma mater and ask for a new one ... there will most likely be fees associated with it though ...

I've done it, but it doesn't make you feel any better.  Truth is they won, so screw em, but they still won!  LOL  You can try to email the seller to let him know if for some reason the winning bidder doesn't pay, I'll take a second chance offer.\nAnyway so I've done it once or twice, and haven't been reported but I'm sure if it is cruel enough they can cancel your account.

I know of a service -  www.ClickForLessons.com - it has worked GREAT for me, and they only charge when they actually send you a student... none of this paying for what I might get!  Its really almost like a proffesional myspace geared twoards teachers in of dance and music and acting and some other stuff I think... anyway give it a try

YES they harrassed to point of extinction, before I had my Cable installed I needed a dial up ISP, so sadly I chose AOL, when I tried to cancel it at the end, it took me over 1 hour of constantly telling the rep, that I now had cable and didn't need AOL, she would not NO for an answer finally I had a cancellation number.\n3 days later in the mail I had a letter from AOL THANKING me for continuing the membership and they would take the money out of the account.\nI immediately wrote back in no uncertain terms, gave them the womans name, the reference number and informed them that ANY attempt to remove monies would be construed as theft and fraud.\nLuckily they finally took NO for an answer\n\nDO NOT USE THEM\n\nBe WARNED

If this is the independence plus VISA stored value card that you are referring to then I would immediately cancel your membership and request your money back. It is a rip off and you can get all of their "benefits" either free or at the same price from their providers directly and not pay their $14.95 monthly membership fee.\n\nGood Luck

Wait... there's a world outside of the United States?  \n\nI'm stunned...\n\nNo one told ME!\n\nIs it too late to get a refund for all that tuition I paid in college?\n\nlol\n\nYeah, seems silly doesn't it?

I don't think you can get it back.  The fine print in your application probably stated that it was a non-refundable application fee.

Just goto http://www.clickbank.com/cs/cs-inquiry.cgi and do as directed. OR Simply contact ClickBank, mydatajob's payment processor for the refunds providing them your receipt number you got when you made the purchase.\n\nMany of these data entry opportunities are pure scam artists. I am working with http://www.DataEntryCompany.com and they are awesome. Very transparent and great service for customers.
