Card scam

AI Highlights
  • - Charged $40/month on my debit for almost a year before I noticed.
  • - I gave out my number.
  • - Never been to this webpage before; I hope it helps others.

It's not for real. They charged my debit card $40/mo.

for a long time, almost a year, before I caught on. Yes, I should have never given out my number, but this simply was an example of getting taken. I'd visited CJ before, and had a great laugh at it's outrageous content. My bank might go after these idiots a bit.

We'll see. I'll take my lumps for being a fool, but if this helps anyone, I'll feel a little better.

Never been to this webpage before. Hope they don't figure out a way to screw me over too.

No offense.

Consumption Junction Fraudulently Charges Credit Card!! Total Scam!

AI Highlights
  • - This is a scam site, not the old Consumption Junction.
  • - Age-verification charges $48 then $1; cancellation by phone only and can take over an hour.

This is not the old Consumption Junction with the funny ***, and gory videos and pics this is a scam website that needs to be shutdown. First off its just a fake *** website. In the age verification scam they say your credit card will not be charged but that is total B.S. They billed me for $48.00 but my C.C. rejected it. Then they billed me for a dollar. My C.C. company froze my account within minutes after the charge and made me call around to cancel my "membership(s)".

You have to actually call to cancel these memberships, you can't do it over the web. It took me over an hour on the phone.

Then a week after this debacle I started getting *** e-mails; lots of them.

Word of advice, don't ever use Credit Card for age verication at any website like this; you'll be sorry if you do!

Consumptionjunction.com verification scam

AI Highlights
  • - Age verification became mandatory in May.
  • - My card was charged about $150 three times.
  • - Billing site acwm.com no longer exists.

I have been visiting consumptionjunction.com since 1999. I enjoyed their articles and adult humor. Starting in early May of this year, they installed a system where they verify your age (age verification is mandatory) They claim that they do not charge your credit card, but they LIED thet have charged my credit card THREE TIMES- almost $150.00 I attempted to contact the web site that did the billing: www.

acwm.com, but they don't exist any more. Consumptionjunction.com uses a different web site now. eventually, they will get busted for fraud and will be forced to refund everyone's money- I have already started the process by filing a complaint with the federal trade commission

Lots of former good crazy ***, and sick *** sites have done the same thing! They get big enough to attract the foreigners, then sell out for top dollar.

Then the scams begin for people who made the sites what they were, looking for their old place.!!

They think it can't harm, just to verify!!!! Anything you click on will subscribe you!!!!!!!!!1 In the fine print nobody reads.

Guest

idiots dont know about these *** scams....

Guest

This is. Another way to stiffle our freedoms.

Just deal with it.

You or your pairents wanted this. Deal with it

Guest

yup They scam you

I like how Companies hire people to write insane comment about people they rip off trying to discredit them

Guest

If you didn't authorize a charge on your credit card, file the appropriate form with your credit card company and they won't bill you for it. However, since the original poster seems mentally deficient, I wouldn't doubt that he accidentally did authorize a charge. In that case, FTC sounds like the right route.

Guest

there are some great sites out there, but nothing compared to the old CJ.

Guest

go to crazyshit.com awesome site :zzz

Guest

As another person already stated, Consumption Junction was sold in spring 2008 to another company. Those who were in charge before are no longer associated with Consumption Junction as it stands.

Guest

Go to Heaven 666, same *** there.

Guest

Does anyone who what website Consumptionjunction.com is currently using?

Guest

Dumb *** give your credit card numbers deserve to get ripped off. Retard actually gave his debit card. File a complaint against yourself with the I'm A *** Commission.

Guest

Author of article - You are a sick *** and so is your mom and any sisters you might have!!! Lol that's what your dad said...

P.S You grandma is tight like a jew.

P.P.S what do you call a Mexican with a rubber toe... Roberto in your mom

Guest

:cry :( :( :zzz :upset :eek :roll :? :roll :) :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin

Guest

that site was sold has nothing to do with the original owners of consumptionjunction.com

Guest

hey if you get scammed you need to report to the Better business burea they get alot of things fixed faster they anyone else the have help me at least 20 times

Guest

I too had been going to CJ for years. When they closed the site they put up a banner saying there would be a new verification system in place to view their content.

So Sick ***, the online name of the *** that owned and ran the site must have had something to do with this scam! Here I preach at people NOT to do this type of thing and I do it! Luckily I recognized the fraudulent action and canceled my ATM card immediately. They tried to charge my acct $49US three times but I had already canceled the card!

Just the hassle of changing for iTunes, Redbox, AT&T... I called one of the numbers and made the operator *** near cry for working for people that scam others for a living!

She could have been a good actress but said she was going to quit them. I doubt it though...

Guest

scammed 150.00 bones for the same reason. I contacted my bank and there were 3 seperate charges, each one has a phone number to call to try to get it removed. if anyone has more info please write me at jordotech@***.com

Consumptionjunction Age Verification Scam

AI Highlights
  • - Consumptionjunction used to host varied content and had fans.
  • - Now uses age verification; small $1 charges and international charges; fraud claims.

CJ - consumptionjunction.com used to be a place where you could see screwed up internet stuff, videos, pictures, jokes, etc. and seemed to be run by a legit crew with dedicated fans.

Now they have some "age verification system" in place that states it will not charge your credit card, but just use it to make sure you are 18 years of age. They charged the card with a bunch of small $1.xx charges, then a day or so later there were 3 international charges at .04 cents, then two other charges for $39 and $44. The charges were by various dot com companies such as CS365247.COM, PAY-ESITE-ME

M.COM, PAY-CCPLOGISTICS.COM, PAY-MEDIAVENTLTD.COM. I've contacted my bank and am filing fraud claims against these, but this is just completely irritating and a waste of my time.

Consumptionjunction is now a full scam site with nothing legitimate.

webjtcharge.com is their credit card company and they claim none of the businesses listed are theirs.

I tried using this today, luckily my Chase bank called right away and asked me about these various .com charges. They were $49.97, $2.88, and $33.67.

This is the site...

anyone heard of xanga.com ? They're saying that you can subscribe to CJ videos and stuff through them and it's supposed to be free...they didn't ask for any bank/ credit card info, and when the videos get racy, or adult, you have to print their age verification form (with a copy of your DL, Birth cert, or Passport) and fax or mail it....sounds pretty safe. You can watch videos and stuff, but juast not the ones we want to see until you fill out the form, and send it to them (it's a NY address...sounds legit)

A copy of your DL, Birth cert, or Passport??? Are you crazy??? Why not just send them your bank account number, while you're at it?

Guest

CJ used to be a great free site to check out all kinds of video to bad its taken over by a bunch of scammers. If any one knows of new site from original or new people similar to old one post it please THanx

Guest

:grin ;) :grin :x :x

Guest

First of all if any of you guy's ever thought about pulling out a credit card to pay for CJ.com you should take yourself outback and shoot ya self rite now!!! I've never in my life had ever had to pay for that site.

Now why would I even THINK Or NOT THINK !!! about pulling out my credit card to pay for a viral video site when there is so many free video site out their like viral & You tube. Come on guy's what's this world coming to???

And for the person who's cousin stole the credit card to get scammed with!!! I'd kick his *** :)

Guest

What i know is that the owners sold the site and the new owner is doing this stuff. I figured this 'cause i checked their domain on whois.net and noticed that it was different when it was running the way it should have been.

Guest

Wooooooow! Hadn't thought about the site in years...thought, hm, it'd be fun to check out again...had problem with login...then saw this post.

Gotta love the internet!!! Thanks to all for the posts of your trouble that helped me avoid my own.

Guest

I just caught my cousin trying to use this site with my credit card. The bank called me seconds after.

EXPRESS MEDIA was trying to take 89.99 from my account. They did not get the money but the bank informed me to get a new card because different companies associated with the scam can try to charge the card.

I can see I was luckier than a few people. Good luck.

Guest

I used to love CJ. Pat cracked me up, I wish I knew where that guy was and can't imagine why they did this to the site.

Guest

I had one charge me $40...it was the craigslist credit card age verification saying it would charge $1...then took me to a site kaylabanks.org and i immediately checked my bank account and sure enough $41 was gone. I'm beyond pissed. I'm broke enough as is.

Guest

well i just got taken for 146 but i called the companies and had my money returned well at least most of it i am still short 54 dollars but i am going to go to my bank and get that taken care of. I had to figure it out the hard way and i am glad that i can tell people that if they want to verify your age then they are some really sad person who doesn't understand that you are meessing with peoples lives when you take people for their money.

It makes me beyond mad and i am going to make sure that my bank knows all about these sites and exactly what companies handle it.

If you call the companies and cancel they will give your money back. well most of them did for me..

Guest

:( ..yup this *** got me good with $50, good thing my bank call me on the spot and told me it was a scam. they gave my money back..theres also a new one with a youtube video to make it more convincing.. :p

Guest

NO way, the comment from and written by Jenna M, on 10-10-2009 03:38 (#19) is the exact same message I got from my Craigslist posting. I think Craigslist should be responsible for these elegit bastards and all the spam you get from their postings.

Makes you wonder if they have their hand in it.

Just want to say THANK YOU all for this site and sharing your experience. Sorry for the ones that got scamed.

Guest

I haven't been on the site in over 5 years and had a convo about it today so went on to check it some of the new stuff thought they got in trouble for some of the pics is the reasoning behind the Credit card verification but its all *** and then after sign in it said they were charging me 49.95. WTF. Will check tomorrow see if there is a charge.

Guest

I just got one from a site call secureladies.com

Guest

:( Yeah I feel the same as you people. You post an add looking for something real and get a bunch of CL bots trying to scam you with all their different stories like they're interested. Probably some fat *** eating potato chips trying to reel in another fish to get your info!

Guest

What do u do to fix it is there a way you can cancel your account??

Guest

I got contacted through my ad in Craigs too to verify who I was. Gave me a story about how they met someone and were robbed.

I email them back stating I don't go to other sites to verify who I am.

You want to meet me we can do so in a public place and if you don't trust me then you can walk away. Haven't heard back from them after that so I would gather it is a scam to get your money.

Guest

What can someone do if they get scammed? Is there any way that one can get their money back? If so can u contact me by email it's "who0p3 at yahoo dot com"

Consumptionjunction frauded my credit card for age verification.

AI Highlights
  • - System asks for credit card to prove age (18+); it was advertised as free.
  • - Six charges occurred; refunds issued; fraud division investigation continues.

Their new system makes you give a credit card number just to prove to them you are over the age of 18. It said free free free all over the page but my card was charged immediately and for months after that.

Six time all together my card was charged and now I have turned them in to my credit card company fraud division and they are having a hard time finding anything out about the web site.

They did refunded all monies paid but say the ivestigation will continue and they say I might have to pay the money back if they find out it was not fraud.
