Profit Center Online - SCAM

I hate to admit, this is the first time I allowed myself to be victimized. Should have done more research prior. However, I only signed up for $2.95 and before I knew it, this company calling itself Profit Center Online with phone number 800-497-4988 charged my credit card $79.90 monthly. I asked for their business address and real company name but the person (who is in the Philippines) did not want to give me any more information other than to say I'm sorry. Bunch of crooks. Please do not fall for this scam. I had filed a complaint with IC3 - about the most I can do. If anyone can refer an advocacy group, or a federal agency that takes cases related to this scam, please post here. I am ready to file charges. Jane: Have you tried the FTC? Thanks for sharing - more people need to get mad AND get even. Randy D.
