Complaint Review: Worldwide

On 10/31 I noticed fraudulent charges of $249.95 while reviewing my account online. I immediately called the credit card company and began dispute and account closure process. The customer service rep told me that the company was a "specialty foods" company. She closed my account and then told me that the account was also used the day before my call, 10/30, at an online pharmacy to the amount of $299.00. I recieved a package from the first charge.

A Global Benefits Package with nothing more than information about various "discount" purchasing plans via "The Shoppers Network". The address for them is 3 Gannett Dr. Suite 201 White Plains NY. 10604. Some of the benefits you have to send in a coupon and $2.95 to activate. I immediately called Worlwide via the 800 number and informed them of the fraud.

They said they would put in a fraud report and a credit request. So far nothing, but it's still early. Although the return address on the package was in Tempe AZ... the credit card statement reads Worldwide Inc. Boca Raton FL When I asked the rep about returning the package for which they had provided a return address, she said, "Oh just throw it away".
