Maybe. Card companies can "attach" your new card to your old one so that old-card charges (especially) are properly migrated to your new account.

i got the same problem. i canceled my credit card by reporting that it was lost and will redeem a new one in a couple of days. since my credit card number will be different, would intellius still have ways to charge me on my new card?

I have a $19.95 charge to my debit card from this number dated 12/9/08 and I have no idea what this is.

I too am receiving $19.95 membership fees from this number.  I called it back and they said that I clicked on an advertisement while purchasing employment screening solutions from Intelius.com

I never clicked on anything...this is really scary as somehow this valuemax company was able to capture my company and credit card information through Intelius.com's shopping cart.  I'm writing the DOJ and attorney general right now.

I got a charge in the amount of $19.95 from a company of ValueMax phone number 888-205-2257.  I know of no known company name or phone number.  I tried to call the number and also got a pre-recorded message.

I am calling my charge company immediately to report fraud.

I got charged $19.95 and I don't know this company. When I tried to call this number they asked for my phone number and credit card number. I'm contacting my bank right away. People be AWARE....

Checking account charged $19.95 for what I do not know and without my authorization. Consider it fraud and reporting as such

I came across Intelius while surfing. On a whim I entered my name and my entire family is listed in the free results!! What has this country come to? What does my family have to do with someone trying to find me? Why in the hell would someone want to pay for personal info about me anyway? Unless you're a landlord or have some other business which requires you to know if a person has a criminal record, there is no reason for you to pay for third party personal information.

I looked at my last 2 statements for my credit card and there was 2 charges to valuemax and intellius. I didn't authorize these charges. And I have no clue how they got my card number. If I find out my card carrier gave this number out I will be moving my balance to a different card and I will no longer deal with this company.

I've been charged $19.95 three times now and didn't realize it until the credit card company sent me a new card saying that my account had been compromised.  I called the CC company and they said to call the phone number first so I did.  They told me that I had used Intelius and took a discount which automatically enrolled me in their "discount club".  After I thought about it for a second I remembered the incident and also remembered that I DEFINITELY DID NOT select the discount amount because I NEVER do well with any of these discount programs much less one that charges $160.00 a year and I'm automatically suspicious of any discounts offered and I do read the fine print.  They told me they would refund the entire amount.  I'll try to report the results.

Got 3 charges of 19.95 from valuemax on my checking acct...i called my bank and they stopped and issued a new debit card...they also gave me the phone number on the statement...from an earlier post i got that it might be Intelius< and i called them, and they told me it was a 3rd party billing by ValueMax(which offers coupons and discounts)....The rep at Inteluis called on my behalf while on hold and said that she spoke to ValueMax and that they cancelled the service and refund me 3 charges and to allow 3-5 bus days to credit

I was hit also, they told me they have my information through a people search website.  I contactd my bank, and also called the company, who  told me they will refund my $19.95

This is a multi state corporation that has several "sales" companies that share information and have a very loose general agreement on their sites.  If one site sells you something they use opt-in requests through out the sales process to "sell" you other services.

You have to READ the entire statement before saying no, as the statement may be a negative and you are actually authorizing the information.  Also we have found that some of the "partners" may be sharing your information with them for a commission on services you may not have been aware of being setup for.

Same thing happened to me.  My bank is taking care of the whole thing and crediting me.

I got the same charges. These people, whoever they are, owe me more than 200$ which is seriously not a small amount for a college student like me.

I used Inteliusa few times in January. They pased my credit card # to ValueMax and 24protectplus, each of these two entities charged $19.5 on my card for Jan. and Feb. I just called American Express to dispute these charges and asked them to send me a new card with new number.

I also called these two entities, ValueMax agreed to refund the charges for the two months?24protectplus would only refund fee for one month?They said Intelius gave them my info.

I then called Intelius to ask them why my card number was passed to these two entities, the lady I spoke to said These two entities were affiliates of Intelius and I clicked some pop up things when I was using Intelius to agree to some kind of trial subscribtion. I asked the lady if she was telling me that Intelius was affiliated with those scam artists, she said yes. I thought Intelius was a legit company.

I filed a complaint with the FBI.

i did also who the hell are they

Intelius is a scam. I got hit with uauthorized charges by both Intelius and Value Club. They will tell you that you have authorized their services. It is one of those "fine print" situations when you use Intelius. Their only real purpose is to get your credit/debit catd information to begin these charges. They will cancel if you contact them, but you will not get a refund on old charges. They are making millions on this fraud.

Thanks for the information about Intelius.  I received a charge in December and November of $19.95 on my checking account.  The listing appeared as AP*9 HEALTHPLAN and the second time the listing appeared as VALUE CLUB.  The first number 877-993-6264 was coupled with AP*9 Health plan. The second number 888-205-2257 was attached with VALUE CLUB.   If Intelius is the culprit then they must be associated with People Lookup?  I have used People Lookup before.  I have called the bank and voided the card, but I would like to inform People Lookup about this bogus scheme.  Again, thanks for the information on Intelius.  How did you discover that it was Intelius?

Its through Intelius! Call them they will refund also tell you bank. Make sure intelius cancels your account and make sure they do not have your CC #

I just got hit too!
Called my bank immediately since the payment hasn't totally processed.  I rarely use my debit card out and rarely on the internet.  The card is only conected to one account which i will be calling later today regarding this.  If anyone has gotten any answers about this please respond.

This number has taken 19.95 from my acc. for the last two months, if anyone knows how to stop this ,PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT CHLOEBABII@HOTMAIL.COM

I got 2 charges today from them on 2 dates my darn bank is closed and i dont know how the got my account number to charge it to..will my bank give me the money back?i got 2 charges for $19.95

I have received a 19.95 charge to my account from this number.  The name on the acct is Value Club-V in Illinois.  But when I search for that name, I can't locate it.

Now... what's INTERESTING is that TODAY I log into my bank, and I have a 19.95 charge from AP9 HEALPLAN in Illinois with a different phone number of 877-993-6264.

Coincidence?  I don't think so.  I'm going to my bank in just a few minutes and reporting the fraud.

I got a charge to my checking account that appeared as a debit card transaction for the amount of $1.00 and then a few days later got a charge in the amount of $19.95.  When I tried to call the company, they only had an automated phone line.  I never was able to speak to anyone.  Funny thing is....I hadn't used my debit card at all during the two week span that the charge was posted to my account.  I had to end up reporting them to the BBB.  Oddly enough, I also got charged by the number (800)479-0979 from GrantSearch as well as charges from YourSavingsClub at (877)820-7107.  When I looked up two of these companies....quess what? They both had the SAME address but different phone numbers.  I think all three of them are in together on this.
