The Value Plus scam.

I just got a call on my cell phone that woke me up from a company called Quality Resources. The lady on the other line said that they received my information from a “business partner” of theirs. At this point I’m extremely suspicious and I keep asking her who gave her my information and she kept dodging the question or answering with a vague one like “We got it from one of our business partners”.

She then decides to transfer me over the verification department. I have a feeling she just transferred me over to a guy that’s sitting right next to her. He informs me that I’ve already authorized a $1 charge to my credit card for a 30-day trial to Value Plus. They need to verify my address is so and so before they can send me my gas vouchers and brochures. He reads me my correct address and then I interject and ask how can I cancel my “membership”.

The number he gave me was 1-800-475-1942. I immediately hung up and called that number. The lady that answered informed me she couldn’t cancel my “membership” because I won’t be in the system until at least Monday. I’ve seen these types of “savings club” scams in the past before. Generally the vouchers are worthless and arrive right around when your trial ends.

What’s worse is the company will probably spread your CC information around to other scammers and I’ll get small charges every month which they hope I won’t notice. If I ever saw anyone that was involved with these con-artist companies on the street I’d probably go apeshit and shoot them (if I had a gun). Everyone’s gotta make a living, but these people contribute NOTHING to society.

If you get a call from anyone saying they’re from Quality Resources or Value Plus. Hang up. I will be calling these pricks back on Monday.

I’m not alone either: Google “scam ‘Value Plus’”
