This is a copy of a letter Rip-off Report.com sent to victms of MWI that filed their own Rip-off Report.
Subject: Your complaint on the Rip-Off about MWI false charges on Your credit card or bank account
MWI Lawsuit being filed on behalf of California residents ..
Dear MWI Victim:
I am writing you about your complaint against MemberWorks, Inc. (MWI) which you posted on the Rip-Off Report website. I maintain that website and try to let consumers know when there are important developments related to a complaint they posted.
A case is being filed in California against MWI to stop the kind of wrongful charging that you complained of. In order to be sure the judge understands how bad MWI's practices are, the lawyers involved would like to present to the judge the stories of as many people as possible. They expect that MWI will claim that its unauthorized charges are rare and were just mistakes, and that the judge shouldn't prohibit the company from continuing to do business the same way in the future or order any money to be refunded to any other victims of the overcharging.
It is our opinion in cases like this, that the judge might believe MWI if there isn't enough evidence showing how many people have been wrongfully charged.
After a thorough investigation by Rip-off Report.com, I am urging all of the consumers who have been over-charged by this company to provide a declaration (a statement under oath explaining what happened) to support the case against MWI.
If you are willing to help, please contact the lawyers handling this case. They will explain the exact form to use so that it can be used in court. Or you can contact them if you just want more information. The lead lawyer is Robert M. Bramson of the firm of Farrow, Bramson & Plutzik, LLP in Walnut Creek, California.
The email address to use is MWI-victims@fbbp-law.com
It would be helpful if you include some information in your email to these lawyers. For example, explain what MWI did to you (like charging your credit card without your permission or whatever), say whether you have any idea how MWI got your financial information, say whether you received a refund (and, if so, what you had to go through to get it), and any other information you think the lawyers should know. Be sure to include the city that you live in. You may also want to send them a link, that's the specific web address to your filed Rip-off Report.
For victims of MWI outside the state of California, we are working on a solution for you as well. Hopefully we will be e-mailing you soon. You must file a detailed Rip-off Reporrt if you want us to contact you...
I urge you to help hold this company accountable. You helped make sure that MWI made the Rip-Off Report. Now Don't Let Them Get Away With It
