Actblue - Fraudulent withdrawals of money from my Credit Card
I HATE ACT BLU! While a dedicated progressive with preference for Democratic candidates and causes, I will never again give to any of their fundraising requests that are managed by ACT BLU.
This is based on several of my experiences and others I know. At least on two different occasions, ACT BLU made unauthorized charges against a credit card given for a one time use. They offer no way to delete yourself from their database, or even see your info. They now also have a way of getting automatic updates from Credit card company when you get a new card, with new number.
You CANNOT shake them! They also have been drawing monthly recurring charges on my elderly parents card given for only a one time only charge through Pay Pal. ACT BLU won't respond to their pleas to STOP. This is not only fraudulent but downright elder abuse!
This is FRAUD!!!! A legal Action needs to begin against these unethical trolls!Donors BEWARE OF ACT BLU!!!
Reason of review: Problems with payment.
Monetary Loss: $5.

This is absolute fraud! I will fight these people. ***
This seems to be a troll.. This complaint is a bit over the top, but there is a remedy..
Or this person is a bit naive about rectifying the bad situation.. I'm not a fan of ActBlu either..
You first do a stop payment with your credit card issuer/bank. Secondly you log into Actblu and make sure you did not set up recurring payments.. You also delete all other cards from your profile.
You will delete your affected card after you have asked for a refund. . Third, you make sure to report to the banks Fraud department that you want to stop any future with drawls from Actblu and suspect they are making illegal withdrawls and that your card account was hacked. Fourth, you get a new card and tell the bank to make sure Visa is notified not to continue to charge you account.
Third. You report them to the better business Bureau for each string of unauthorized transactions, only providing your last 4 digits of the affected card.
Is there any way we can get all our complaints to federal law enforcement agencies? Maybe we can start a petition demanding that Act Blue be investigated for fraud.
