Card33 - BFLPay-Supersaves ripoff Internet
I have been ripped off! Don't let this happen to you!!!
I was searching for appetite suppressants online and wanted to find the best price. I was checking out all of the available sites when I came upon Frontier Pharmacies who had the best price. They charged a $19.95 fee and did not charge for shipping and handling.
After looking at a few more sites and noticed that some of them also charged a fee, I went ahead and placed my order. According to the information, I was to receive a confirmation email immediately following placement of my order. I waited and waited but no email arrived.
I checked my bank account the following day and found where BFLPay-Supersave5c.com was pre auth for $19.95 but there was no pre auth for the amount of the prescription I thought I had ordered. I decided to check the BFLPay-Supersave5c.com address and was directed to the Rip-Off Report and was immediately fearful and concerned about my finances as I had provided that rip off "company" with my personal information, trusting they were legitimate and honest.
I went to my bank the following day and was informed I needed to attempt to work out any problems with the company in question so I called the 800-605-9875 number and after a long wait, finally spoke with a very young sounding male who stated there is probably just a delay as they were VERY busy, even though he did not know which company I was calling about, and to wait until Monday and my purchase would probably be authorized and be on its way.
On Monday I saw that my $19.95 had been paid to the supersave "company." I went back to my bank and they had to hot card my bank card (reissue another card) which I will not receive for 7 to 10 business days. I was instructed to return to my bank in one or two days and they would try to get my money back after I write out what had transpired.
I feel very ripped off and want something done about this/these companies. What can be done?

After the charge backs get up to 2% of total sales, they are in danger of losing their merchant account

That's problem number one for the merchant.
Number 2 is that the card bank will charge the merchant a fee for the chargeback. Now, they don't get the sale or the profit that goes along with it. Plus, they pay a fee. Total loss, wouldn't you say?
That loss will mean that they have to make several other SUCCESSFUL sales in order to just get back to even again.
After 2% charge backs, the merchant is in danger of losing their merchant account. Game over when you're selling online. Either that, or else they have to find a card processor that is willing to handle their scam. Not so easy to do.
Why don't you try the local health food store instead? At least that way, you will have someplace to go where you can expect to be treated more honestly.
