I suspect that there are a great many people out there who, like myself have been using the company VistaPrint for the production of, it must be said, good quality cards, T-shirts and other such items, perhaps for small businesses or clubs.
Many people probably were lured in by offers via Google and Amazon to name but two.
If you were then you'd better check your card statements closely.
VP Rewards have become a byword for a new scam of illegally and automatically signing people up to a 'reward' scheme without getting your permission to do it.
If you ordered something from Vistaprint using a credit or debit card then these details are then used by VP Rewards to debit £9.95 a month from your account.
Trying to cancel the non-existent agreement is like pulling teeth and after 2 months I am still trying.
Phoning VP Rewards will get you no where. emails are ignored as is their own on site email enquiry form.
These people are an out and out bunch of crooks.
At the moment I have had to instruct my credit card company that no further payments to VP Rewards are to be made as these are fraudulent and unauthorised.
I am checking my card account on line daily and have also reported the company to the OFT and await a reply.
For more info just Google the phrase "VP REWARDS SCAM"
You have been warned.
PS: I have just been informed by Vistaprint that if you click ANYWHERE other than the close "X" on the pop up screen after using the Vistaprint site YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED TO THE SCAM - er - SCHEME
