Complaint Review: Intelius

I am so p-i-s-s-e-d! I check my acct. this morning and I have unauthorized activity on my acct. from a company called Valuemax.....shown as "ap9* valuemax-v". After a long morning of being on the phone I realized that this was taken out of my acct. because I did a reverse phone # look up on Intelius website which charged me $4.95 for the look up. I never authorized this "membership" and I actually have never even heard of this "company". Somehow from me authorizing Intelius to debit my acct. $4.95 I am now paying for some membership from a company I've never heard of for services unkown an not used! I never would have signed up for a membership somewhere if I didn't even know what services they provide!....wth!

Is Intelius sharing my account information with other companies? Is it somewhere in the fine print that by me using their site for a reverse phone # look up that I am also agreeing to a membership? If so is this legal? I have been told that the money will be put back into my account in 2 business days. I sure hope so! I sure wish I would have checked out Intelius on Ripoffreport.com before I trusted them with my account information.

How many of these reports have to be made before something is done? Why are these people able to STEAL money from hard woking people day after day? What can I do to help stop this from happening to more people?
