AuctionMonster (i.e. theauctionmonster.com)
I have just checked my online bank account & saw a charge I did not authorize for $54.95. I have no idea who "Auction Monster" is. But I did find out, listen to my story.....................

I called the number (866-407-1016) to Auction Monster, had to argue with a service person until I got in touch with her supervisor "Noel" (his boss is Phil). After 2 hours of arguing over the phone, I finally got him (Noel) to agree to refund the $54.95 to my bank account. I tried my best to get him to refund the $35.00 overdraft fee (his fraudulent charge overdrafted my account), but without any success from this nimrod.

Before I got him to agree to the refund, I had to threaten him with a report to the Dept of Justice (main switchboard is: 202-514-2000). Uhhh, because of the trouble this company put me through, I'm going to report it anyway.

Now before you guys get all uppity about some new person on the forum, here is my take on this company. I have the utmost admiration in companies that are in business to make money on the internet. I applaud their effort. But I don't like, nor will tolerate a business that it's sole purpose is to defraud people. If I can cause a company like that serious business harm, I will do so.

As a government employee I can send this information into the Dept of Justice via military channels, and I plan on doing so.

Remember, if you had a negative experience with this company, post it here, I'm referring the DOJ to this thread.

BTW, Here is the WHOIS info on this company:

Domain Name: AUCTIONMONSTER.COM

To all that have had good luck with this company, I wish you well in your endevors. I have been defrauded, will not tolerate this and will do everything in my power to cause this company to go out of business.

Cool Re: AuctionMonster www.theauctionmonster.com

I also feel like we were defrauded. My husband ordered the CD from Auction monster to get some better ideas on how to sell on E-bay. And of course he did not see the very small print that his charge will be charged $59.95 on the 11th day after he signed up and $16.95 on the 16th day. Well here it is the 17th day when I saw the charge of $59.95 hit the account and the other charge is pending. I called the number we have 800-609-5118 to no avail they were very kurt and said that we checked the box that we agreed to pay for it. They will cancel the account so no other charges will hit my account but they will not credit me. I have called a few times today and they keep telling me that a superviser is not available. To make matters worse we did to even receive this CD until the 9th day. So I cancelled the account and I will keep trying to get a supervisor to credit my account the $79.80. I honestly think we are out of luck and a big lesson was learned.

Re: AuctionMonster www.theauctionmonster.com

I was finally able to get through to a superviser (Tabitha)and they at first adamanelty refused to refund the money because I did not call within 3 days of the charged amount posted. And she was insulted my husband stating that he was an adult and should be resonsible for his actions. Alot more was said and I told her that I going to reprt them to the the BBB and the department of justice and she still refused then I lost the power at work and the call got disconnected. So I called back and spoke to the supervisor (Tabitha) again and she stated before I rudely hung up her she was going to tell me that as a courtesy they refunded the money. It will take 10-12 bussiness to reflect on my account.

Also, David Schneider's company is called Brain Warehouse LLC and that phone number is the same as the one for Zipsearch. ((858-587-7100) I doubt that David Schneider is the real name for this scumbag.

Other Schneider companies that I found - there are probably many more:
Franchisemonster.com
www.Webdesignbook.com
Insurance Quote - getfreeinsurancequotes.com
