MWI Essentials MWI Connections ripoff Being charged for items I did not order for several months Internet
Started back in Dec. '00 noticed charge on my bank statement for $96.00 from MWI Connections. Thought husband or son ordered something.
Then again on 10-25-01 charge of $99.95 - MWI Connections 800-568-2386 CT, phone number on statement.
Then Feb., Mar., May, June, July, August, and Sept. charges of $7.00 each month from MWI Essentials with ph. no. of 800-313-3540.
I've been suspecting right along that something was not right. I'm being charged for things I did not order. Today, Sept. 27 I called above number, got put on hold for long time then hung up. I intend to call my bank today. Decided to look up on computer MWI Essentials and was shocked to find all the ripoff reports from so many people. Now I am joining them.

MORE IMPORTANT TO POST ON RIP-OFF REPORT THAN WITH THE BBB OR ATTORNEY GENERAL

Listing your complaint on many Government links are no better than the BBB and are most likely just a waste of time, giving you false hope. Many government sites (like the BBB) just collect all information from you, the consumer, but never make that information available for all to see, so consumers will NOT be educated as to what exactly they should be looking out for. By these agencies not letting you see these complaints, making them public, you never know how bad the company or individual rip-off really is. On the other hand, many government agencies have and do come to the Rip-off Report for information. We have been assisting many government agencies for some time now, including the FBI and Attorney General offices from around the country.. Now that all these Rip-off Reports are out in the open for everyone to see, in a way, this embarrasses these agencies into doing something when they see so many reports on a Company or Individual, because they are now out in the open for all to see. Unfortunately, many (not all) Attorney General Office's and government agencies will not move against a rip-off unless there is going to be some sort of publicity on the rip-off. By reporting your experience on the Rip-off Report, is the next best thing to getting your story on TV or in a newspaper. Most national TV networks and many local TV stations from all around the country also come to the Rip-off Report for information they will not get from the BBB, Attorney General office's or any other government agency. Rip-off Report has instigated many local and national stories, resulting in help for victims' world wide, in one way or another. Most government agencies will never even bother with rip-offs unless it involves $50,000 or more. Now that the government is cutting back even more dollars for these types of programs, this number will even get higher and we can expect even less to get done, by even less people to work on all these rip-offs.

Contact your bank immediately and let them know that no more payments to this company are authorized.
Then get in touch with the Consumer Protection Division of your state Attorney General. Send copies of all documentation, including bank statments showing the withdrawals. Send as much info as you have about the company: name, address, phone number, email address and contact names. Ask for a full refund, based on unauthorized withdrawals from your account.
