merchant = INTERNETCLUB
amount = 55.00
transaction date = 04 August 99
input form = yes
SITE NAME = coedsex
opinions = I feel totally violated. When I looked at this months bank statement and saw the charge I first thought it was from some tickets we purchased. But just to be sure I called the 1-800-798-1277 number and asked what the charge was for and I was told it was for www.coedsex.com an adult entertainment site. The woman I spoke to wanted to know how much I was billed before she could even tell me what the web address was. She then asked what my name was but I became really weary of giving anymore info. I stumbled upon your site tonight while doing a web search for the above listed website. My husband is away right now but I will give him your web address so he can take a look. Thank you for posting this info on the web.
measure = Since I just found out about 2 hours ago and it is only 3:00 a.m. here I have done nothing. But however this will be reported to my bank in the morning (this is my checking account) and this account number will be cancelled immediately.

I am from Argentina.
And I was very lucky in found your page!!! (And Thank You!!!)
My uncle had the problem with /adult talk/web club/adult mag/internet club/web magazine/, and because he is not a deep Internet user, I tried to help him.
He has a Visa Credit Card from CitiBank.
I can send you his email to contact him.
He sent an email to adulttalk but an autoresponser reply.
I will try with the FTC.
Here in Argentina the Consumers are very unprotected, here there is a quote (I will try to translate it) “Made the Law, Made the Trap”.
My uncle called to Visa (In Argentina) and they told him they can’t do anything
(because was an international debit). Imagine that!!!!!
Well, Thank You for your time.

I sent a request to the obsession group on august 1st. I receaved an answer from Obsession the day after asking a full 16 digit of my credit card number to cancel. The same day, I have contacted my credit card company (Master card of Bank of Montreal). I receaved a phone call from them today. They authorised me to contact Obsession and give my full credit card number for cancellation. Master card will reembourse the two months of fees (120 $US) and wont accept any more fees from I*Ybird.com. Ouf !
Your Internet site helped me very much. Without you, I would never be able to find a solution shortly. Good luck for the other victims.
Yours sincerely, Salutations,

I have been billed by the following four companies.
1. LEFT FIELDER*XFLI.COM for $59.40
2. CLEARCOMMAND*ADULT NE for $54.50
3. ONLINEMAG for $59.00
4. SENORA, INC *XSEN.COM for $59.99
The last one on this list is new. I don’t see it on your report. I did see the name USENORA.
It looks like they changed another one.
I also went to the web site: Web Interface to WHOIS and looked up JPRENDES and found that besides being listed as the Domain host for Lexitrans, Inc.
He was also listed for a company called Visual Radio, INC.
The only thing different is that he spelled his name as Jorge Prentes instead of Jorge Prendes as listed for Lexitrans, INC. Is this helpful or do you already have this information?

Dear sirs,
BIRD N BEE,I*BIRD.COM, RECENTLY WITHDREW $60 FROM MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION AND I NEVER RENDERED THEIR SERVICES
Posted :Wed, 28 Jul 1999 11:22
I recieved a $60 charge on a credit card that we have that had not been activated yet.
It was to a web site called SPLITBACK,I*SXBI.COM.
After reading your web site and printing a copy of it by the way, I filed a complaint with the FTC and now am trying to contact the credit card company and the toll free number of the web site so that this can be straightened out. Thank you for your work on behalf of all of us that this has happened to. Feel free to contact me at my email any time.

This appeared on my credit card statement, and your’s was the only site I could find when I searched for some trace of this on the net. I sent your form email to Obsession, and recieved a prompt, standard reply indicating that they required more details, but also giving me a phone number.
I called them, and their customer service reps were amusingly polite, appeared to try to help me, but apparently SPLIT BACK,I*SXBI.COM (8007525740) is not part of Obsession or any of their web of companies. This was their response, and when I gave them my credit card number (now cancelled, so no major risk) they were adamant that this was not a card that had ever been billed by any of their companies.
So no joy. My bank is none to helpful, and although they are (going to) investigate the billing, it may take them 3 to 4 months during which time I will continue to be billed. Not good.
Another search on the number 8007525740, prefixing with a 1 (given that it is a toll free no in the USA?) yielded the site http://www.sisyphus.com
This site has the message:
If you are visiting this site because you received a charge to your credit card posted by “Sisyphus Inc.”, please know that we are not this firm. You may contact Sisyphus Inc.’s Customer Service at 1-800-752-5740, or 1-212-687-1502, if you are outside the United States.
This is proving to be a very frustrating exercise. I’m not sure what to do next. I hope you continue to maintain your site, and I’ll let you know how things pan out. (I’m in Australia.)

dear webmaster,
thank you for your help in dealing with unauthorized billings of “obsession.com”
enclosed as an attachment is my e-mail to them, as well as their brief response. as you’ll see they offered to cancel my “membership” if i provide them with the 16 digits of my credit card. that’s a start, however, that’s not enough. i also want to be reimbursed for the five month of billings by their varies stores (bird n bees, graydove, etc.).
i’m waiting for your advice, so i’ll know how to proceed. i have not filed a complaint with the FTC yet. please let me know what to do next (maybe you have another form i could send them?) i want you know that i’m willing to do whatever is necessary so the justice is done, and “obsession.com” would not victimize anyone else in the future.
keep up your good work.
sincerely,

input form= no
opinions = The Obsession group has stolen $120.00 from my checking-card account, $60.00 a month for the months of June and July. It has caused me to overdraft and pay my bank a fee of $27.00. I want to see my money back into my account where it belongs. The Obsession group are pirates and should be prosecuted for their theft.
measure = I have just started to research exactly where my money went as my only clue was the “split back, I sxbi” on my bank statement. I began searching the net for possible connections and found your home page, and now I have a very clear idea as to where my money went. I will call my credit card company and request a charge-back; then I will change my card number. Thank you for all of this site’s information.
