Buyers Advantage is a Scam
REF: letter to me from
Buyers Advantage Scammers,
PO Box 41220,
Nashville, TN 37204.
A Letter from Buyers Advantage Scammers arrived late Sept09 telling me my “membership” (#48933828) was running out. Membership? I looked back in my MC statements and found a $59 charge in March for a Buyers Advantage Scam memb.
I called and they said I had endorsed a small check sent to me as an advertisement and this meant I agreed to a 3 month trial memb. Since I didn’t cancel after 3 month trial I was charged $59. Only one problem….I never endorsed or would think of endorsing a gimmick a check like that for obvious reasons. Additionally they couldn’t produce a copy of that “endorsed” check. They agreed to a refund (that still hasn’t been posted as of 10/31/09)
Meanwhile MC has been charging me interest on that $59 for at least 4 or 5 months. They didn’t stop there….another $69.99 was charged to my MC account in early October as a “renewal” of that same bogus membership!!
Again, they say they will refund the 69.99 and again Buyers Advantage Scammers cannot reproduce or send me a copy of the “phantom” check they claim I endorsed.I have cancellation confirmation numbers, but who is going to repay the interest on $130 of fraudulent charges?
These refunds are suppose to be credited back to my account by Nov 4, 2009.
If this doesn’t happen, what should I do? Buyers Advantage Scam are devious predators and they should be controlled by force of law.
Advice on this matter would be appreciated.
We will contact them through their website they are apt to respond to your grievance soon…

I want to cancel my membership in Buyers advantage and I haven’t been able to do this. How can I get it done?
I reicieved a letter today from a company called Buyers Advantage stating they were going to automatically continue my member privilages, deducting the annual membership fee of $139.99 from my credit card (member #48775454). I immediatly called there 1800-553-4948 number on the lettter and gave them my member # and began expalining I had no idea what this was and insisted they stop all withdrawls. The operator told me I would have to speak with a supervisor and would not discuss this with me. At this point I was LIVID and a supervisor named Douglas Miller told me that I cashed one of those SCAM CHECKS two years ago that I kept getting from when I ordered the Ped Egg oft the TV. I NEVER DID THAT and remember ripping them up and throwing them out everytime I got one. Mr. Miller (if that is is real name hahahaha) told me that my credit card had been charged in 2009 and 2010 and the total was $279.98! I insisted that I was going to report this bogus company and demanded all of my money back. Mr. miller then told me he would be sending me a cancelation letter (cancelation # W11063240169)to fill out and I should get it in a week or so, then once they get it back would reimburse me all of the money. I saw another post about this company from a woman who had the same exact issue. CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENT CAREFULLY BECAUSE THIS BUYERS ADVANTAGE IS A SCAM! Has anyone else gotten there money back from them?
Just ask for a proof of enrollment.
