BusinessMax - Visitaprint ripoff Internet
I am a victim VistaPrint . Upon making a re-order from VistaPrint, BusinessMax charged my bank $9.95 without my authorization.
I emailed VistaPrint and my bank to request a reversal as I can't get a hold of anyone from businessmax. All 'victims' should send a message to VistaPrint as they too are at fault for allowing this other scam company to feed off of their custo

I have been ordering business cards online from Vista Print for several years for my business. This is the first time I ever have had any problems with a business automatically signing me up for some program and taking my personal debit card information to use to "steal" $9.95 per month from my checking account.
I called MWI*BUSINESSMAX at 888-584-2217 and was told it will taking a couple of months before they will put my money back into my account.
This is the second time I have had trouble with a company automatically taking money from my checking account without my approval.
The first time, I had ordered magazines online. They told me they sent me a postcard in the mail asking if I wanted to stop my subscription to the magazines. When they did not receive this postcard back, they automatically renewed all of my magazines and "stole" the money from our checking account for close to $100.00.
I believe that all transaction done online should require a paper confirmation within seven days of the transcaction to verify the debiting of any kind of financial institution account!

Ditto on the charge Patrick makes from Colorado. Before I even knew what hit me, I was sneakedly enrolled into a savings program I felt I wasn't even informed on, so I couldn't make an educated decision on the offer, it literally with a click of a button, enrolled me at $9.95 a month! I spotted it immediately and emailed them to cancel it, "right now!", no response, and there hasn't been one until I ran across Rip-Off report.com. You are the best.I was able to get through to Business Max today with the numbers you provided and cancel this membership Account.
I think VistaPrint should seriously consider the impact this kind of shady business practice will have on their own business. It has certainly changed my viewpoint of them and IF there are any more future purchases, it will be a carefully scrutinized decision,AND I am forwarning other Business owners in Seattle of this pathetic incident, all done for the sake of Sponsorship.Demographically, the impact WILL affect thier business, because I'm telling 7 of my friends, they'll each tell 7, etc. They may not think we can do any damage to them, but if enough of us do report this kind of practice, they'll have to comply by removing this Sponsor.
