DO LIKE I DID CANCEL YOUR CREDIT CARD OR CHARGES WILL KEEP COMING AND DISPUTE THE CHARGES WITH YOUR BANK. iT DOES NO GOOD TO CALL THEM YOU WILL BE PUT ON HOLD AND THEY NEVER ANSWER.

I too have been the victim of this scam of a company that has the audacity of using the name Crossings as a Christian book club. Last Saturday I found that they charged my bank account $42.46 and I have not ordered anything from them. This is a rogue outfit that sells religious books and their operation resembles what a home business would have with a website and no staff to handle thousands of sales. I spent three hours last Monday trying to reach them at the listed customer service number and it always had a busy signal. If you are a Christian and ever receive an offer of books for .99 cents plus shipping with a commitment to buy a number of books later, save yourself a lot of aggravation, believe me you will pay eventually the full price of those at the end of your fulfillment, and a lot of aggravation. They have horrendous customer service, take forever to reply to emails, and take longer than anyone I have ever had business with to ship your order. In many cases well over three weeks. Do yourself a favor go to Christian Book Distributors (CBD.com) and not only do they ship 10 times faster than Crossings, they have 10 times more book choices, and best of all much lower prices, and specials and clearance items all the time.

This  club is a scam , they sent me a few books like they were sending my books for joining & then this weekend they made 2 chargs to my bank card that I had not ordered . When I call the # on my statement there is just a recording saying to hold on & then no one ever answer the phone It does not matter how long you wait . I put a block on my card !!!!! Please make sure you talk to a live person before you join any club ,!!!!!

I monitor my credit cards and this morning I was charged $65.40 and called my credit card company.  Looking for HELP.  They cannot do anything until the charge posts. I NEVER use this credit card for anything on line and NEVER ordered anything from Literary Guild.
I am going to call the BBB and our Attorney General for our State.
These are somewhat small amounts - but collevtively they add up to big dollars rather quickly.
I ealize that PRINT items are soon to be a thing of the past - but scamming people is so wrong - and a subscription to them?  Seriously!

Do you think by posting personal info on a site like this that you'll have any good come from it? I guarantee the people that took your money aren't monitoring the site, and if anything, you just opened yourself up to *more* fraudulent activity. How did they get to you to start with ? (sarcastic, rhetorical). Spell IQ. Lol

Got charges on my checking account in the amount of $63.61 for several months that I did not authorize.  This is some of scam. Do belong to a book club but not this one.

Have been charged on my credit card for items I  did not order.

Pay Pal sent my debit card for $58.95 and I did NOT ORDER ANY BOOK ORDERS.  please return my debit card for $58.95 or a check for my debit card.  My last numbers are 3714.

Send check to Fred Allan, P.0 Box 863 Kent Ohio 44240

Thank you.

just got charged for .7 minutes on the landline bill from this number...not a subscriber to bookclubs here either.

I too saw in my bank account today that a debit transactions was used for a bmc purchase of $33.40 and I too did not authorize this nor do I belong to a book club.  I called my bank immediately to report this as when I called the phone number it asked for an account number and then did not allow any other option.  What is going on in the world today?  I am very disappointed in the fact of closing my acct and card which has been mine for 15 years.

Elf cosmetics is my husband's company I can assure they are not involved in any intentional fraud/false transactions.  Please let me know if your money has been refunded.

If you signed up for the BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB. it is a charge to fulfill your commitment to buy so many books. You should have a credit with them now. I just got this same charge and contacted the BMC it was them. Forgot to order more books in the 1 year time frame.

The same thing has just happened to me. They charged my account $47.24. I called and when I was finally able to talk to a real person they said I didn't have an account with them. They got my information and said they were going to look into it. I asked how long I should wait if I didn't hear back from them and they told me a week. The phone number was also listed on the charge to my acct.

Yes, this is Book of the Month Club and I have written and called numerous times to have my father's account cancelled as book keeps showing up and he has Alzheimers - These guys are aggressive creeps.  I am writing the Better Business Bureau as I have had good action in the past when they come a calling - they give an address of a Service Center in IL but I also see the 717 number so also copying adress below and BBB in Harrisburg too.

Love the idea of tormenting them back  - great idea on the fax machine - might buy one for that purpose!

This number has been calling me for months now as wel as now I am seeing money bring removed frommy Credit Card with out my authoriztion, I do not know they people or the Company. I do not have any kids as this is a book company. I found this out after doing my research on this number and the name of the company from my Credit Card statement. They have been removing money from me for a while and I am just now finding this out. I have also reported them to the local authorizes.

what is it going to take to get you to fix the problem you created when I checked out your website in 2005 or 2006.  All I know is that I got an e-mail welcoming me to your book club, which I never joined and instantly sent you an e-mail to that effect.  I requested that you take me off your list.
You sent me books, which I returned.  I called again and was told that they were sent to me because I was a needlecraft teacher and that I was given a complementary membership.  I told them I did not want to be a member and I needed to know how you secured my home address!  Well, everytime I think I have resolved this and b een able to wash my hands of Crafters Choice, you show up again. I have just received another letter---I get about one a year since 2007---from a collector who has purchased your debt.  This time, they say I owe $69.02 for a membership to your book club, which I never wanted, never requested, never gave you my home address for, etc., and was told by RJM that they have already ruined my credit for a debt I never incurred on my own; and I had better cough up the cash or else.  You broke it! You fix it! I am retired, on a fixed income and this has me very upset that you would invade my private personal information by taking it off my computer in the first place, invade my privacy, and punish me for just looking at your website.  I need for you to get back to me in writing and clear my name. If I sound upset, I am, and I cannot afford to get upset.

I looked up the number attached to a transaction made to my account on whitepages.com. I got 17 results for the same number with the same mailing address in mechanicsburg, PA. 17 different company names for one phone number and one address. Report fraud and get all of your bank information changed. They have charged my account more than once even when we have reported a problem and got new cards they still managed to charge our account.  EVERYTHING must be changed. I have not received any phone calls or books...just charges to my account more than twice already from TWO of their 17 company names. If you want to check them out via phone number to understand what I am talking about go to www.whitepages.com then 'reverse phone' look up. Then simply put the number in.

if you insert that link to discoverychannelbookclub.com that you have posted, it takes you straight to a hard core porno site.   It still does not explain how they get all this personal info.

MY DAUGHTER VISA GIFT CARD WAS CHARGED 34.17 FROM BMC* CHILDRENS BOOK CLUB.
MY DAUGHTER DIDNT ORDER ANY BOOKS.  WE HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN ON THERE WEB SITE. DO THEY EVEN HAVE ONE? WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY BOOKS. I THINK THAT THEY GOT HER NUMBER WHEN SHE TRIED TO SET UP A PAY PAL ACCOUNT. I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO PROSECUTE THEM. STEALING FROM ANYONE IS WRONG. BUT STILLING FROM A CHILD IS UNFORGIVEABLE!

they just took 30.00 from my account and the money in it wasn't even mine was booking hotel for friend this coming weekend and i can't replace it cause i don't work i am sooooo f'n pissed right now
. did you get your money back and how long did it take?

This number showed up as two calls on my phone bill--that I never made!  I do belong to several books clubs, but I only call their toll free number.

Get with the bank for sure.  I got hit for $80.08 on August 2 of this year by BOMC.  I called them right then and the rep I spoke to stated it was for books I got back in 2009 from an old address I hadn't lived at for years and had never purchased books from them when I did live there.  

Unfortunately, I had gotten an account with QPB (part of BOMC) back in 2010 for a series of books my husband wanted and 4 books for $.99 plus shipping was a good deal to get them.  I then promptly paid off the account by purchasing 3 more books at regular price ($10 each) to fulfill my commitment 2 months later in November 2010 when they were running a free shipping promotion which turned out very well with what I paid for 7 books.  I then canceled the account.

They hit me 9 months later for a bogus BOMC account.  It took 3 months to permanently resolve my claim, but BOA gave me a temporary credit on August 4 as well as canceled my debit card and reissued a new one.  I then filled out a claim form the bank mailed and sent it back.  Today, I received a letter from the claims department stating that they had sided with me and that the temporary credit was now a permanent one.  

I learned a valuable lesson though.  Watch who you give your debit card to online.  I only use PayPal and Amazon now.  Anything else that cannot be purchased through Amazon or a merchant that uses PayPal, I do without or write a check for it.  That is not happening to me again!  

It's too bad you can't press charges for "stealing".  In essence, that is what BOMC does.  It's scary to come to these sites and see how many people have gone through what I did - 3 months of worrying if you will have to pay $80.08 for something you never received.

I had over $50 of charges this morning from this company.
I filed a claim at my bank but also sent a complaint into the Attorney General.

I got an email from Huntington Bank Fraud service this morning that there were questionable transactions on my debit card. I checked my account online and there were a total of 7 online purchases made Friday night including
10/24/2011    Debit Card    MYCHARGE.IYOGI.COM 800-237-3901 NE XXXXXXXXXXXX7309     $29.99

The most ironic thing is that Huntington just changed over to a new Mastercard Debit (this was a Visa) which I activated and cut up the old card which was supposed to be deactivated.  When I called the bank, they said that the old card is active for 4 days after the new one is activated to process any pending charges.  These people got me 2 days before the card was fully deactivated.

please stop stealing money from my account as i have met my number of books to be bought,   You took two $45 payment in three days.   You need to reimburse me ASAP.  My bank is aware of these charges and I inte4nd to prosecute if this continues.

They got into my bank account and stole 87.00 from it.  When called they asked for my club account number.  "I don't have an account!"  So then they asked for my Ccard number!!!!!!!!!  Ummm NO!!!  
Filed a fraud claim with my bank and was given the money back.  Paypal and Amazon.com are the only places online that I use my card...

Got a charge of 22.69 from BMC quality paperback llc and it had that number attached. The only thing that might have happened different to me is that my truck got broken into a week ago. I no I shouldnt have but I left some bank statements in there. There was some other charges to other places, that was not by me. Canceled card, getting new one.

Same thing happened to me today!!! I'm calling now actually and they're putting me on hold for an extremely long time! They just got me for 50 bucks this morning and I'm pissed I hope i get my money back.

the same thing happened to me, i received two packages one from Quality baper back and one from the good cook, both had the same mailing address,my CC was charged had to dispute it,when i called the CS number the lady stammered when i questioned as to why there was no email listed and and what confirmation did you receive. very shady. i hope this gets resolved.

They hit me, too!  Last night at 8:15 p.m. (that's 9:15 p.m. their time since they are in PA) my account was hit for $97.00!  I was washing dishes - I wasn't shopping for books!  And I knew exactly when it happened because I have smart alerts - that's a text message sent to my cell phone any time money moves into or out of my bank account.  The nerve of these jerks!  What kind of book club charges $97?!!  Then I'm on hold for over 20 minutes first thing this morning and they actually got on the phone!  They're trying to tell me that I owe this from joining their club back in 2009!!  I've not received anything from them - no notifications or anything!  Supposedly there was some mystical email in July - which I've never seen.  I don't remember signing up for their club, but if I did, how can they expect their customers to buy anything if we don't have any contact info for them!  2 years and all I get is a damned email?!!  I reported my card stolen right away, and I've already called my bank and told them it is a fraudulent charge.  I should get the  money back within a week.
