Received phone call. Did not answer.

i was charged since november 2009, i recently noticed so i went to my bank and they credited 308.29 but just for the last 90 days, what about the rest? has any of you done something else? and yes, it was thru that intellius website. thank you

Thank you Vicky.. I too noticed a regulary charged amount each month on my credit card ($24.95/mo) from Valmax for a total of 13 months.  Through your suggestion I called Valmax (membership number is actually right on the statement next to the charge) and cancelled the membership.  Then I talked to someone who also wanted to only reverse one month.  She passed me on to Stephanie who without even questioning me agreed to reverse the charges.  These scam artists certainly know what they're doing.  I checked my bank statement within 5 days and all charges were reversed.  This charge did result from doing a background check on the Intellius website and Valmax got a hold of the number.  I've learned from this and will thoroughly check my statements each month.  Everyone should.  Thank you again!

Thanks Alissa. I was checking all my credit cards while preparing my taxes and noticed a regulary charged amount each month under member services (now for 15 months) which went unnoticed earlier. I called up VALMAX @ 888-241-0049 and got my membership # from their automated number as no one live answers it. First I cancelled the account gettintg on their website and called and finally got to Sherry 5232  who will only return one month recent transaction. So I got supervisorStephanie   on line and threatened to sue them and report to BBB and all that. She agreed to return the amount charged over 15 months. This was just because I was doing a background check on Intellius website and somehow these scam artists got hold of the number. I never heard of them either. Give them a good fight and attitude. Don't give up when they say that they will refund the last month's amount only.

I called up VALMAX- 888-241-0049 and threatened to sue them. I told them I called the BBB and my Attorney General, as well as MY attorney, and they immediately credited me $307.30 that they sneekily took out of my account. I suggest you guys all do the same! It worked for me!  I JUST DID IT NOW!

My bank traced charged all the way back from January of 2009. I had done a background check on someone via PeopleLookup.com, and of course there was something on there (not obvious) that had signed me up for this value max thing (that i was not aware of and did not authorize). A woman who was supposidely a supervisor named VERONICA for the company immediately refunded me the over $300 that was charged over a period of 14 months. Funny how easy it was to refund the money. These guys are DEFINATELY scam artists!

After getting intelius, I found they still charge a fee per search so dont buy it. Also like so many victims I was not working so I did not go to the bank and check statements and just found out about this. Best thing is first close your account so they can't charge again. Then fight it until you get all funds refunded. Also complain to intelius for this is ilegal robbery to have piggyback unauthorized charges taken out of people. Also intelius is not accurate if searching for friends cell phone or new address and hard to get refunds.I never heard of valumax or savings ace so I am very mad.

I am so freaking upset!!!! They have been charging me 24.95 over 6 months i just realized iton my bank satatement i have never used there services ever!!!!! I get no answer on there 1888 number !!

Charged $24.95 on my credit card on 12/03/09 after ordering $5.90 on 11/07/09 with a charge of $19.95!  They gouged me twice on 2 separate dates!

This is the phone number to www.valuemax123.com

Please check your bank statements - they usually do an unauthorized charge of $24.95. I believe they are also connected to the Intellius website as well as savingsace.com

Intellius.com allows you to search records for a small amount of money. It is a good service but I will never use them again because within a week of my doing so, savingsace and valuemax both pinged my account with unauthorized charges.

BTW, if you do get an unauthorized charge from them, the automated system will ask for your phone number, membership number, or card number. Put in your phone number and they will tell you there's no record of you. Put in your card number and your record will be found. After hearing the message, hit zero - a membership number will come up. Hit zero again and again till you have the full accurate number.

Go to the site and input the membership number and your zip code. There is a choice to cancel your account.
