The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government's allegations, which have not yet been proven.

"The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has brought a law enforcement action against the above company alleging the company received more than $450 million from consumers by luring them into "free" or "risk-free" offers. Consumers were then charged for products or services they did not want or agree to purchase. As part of its ongoing efforts to stamp out online fraud, FTC seeks to stop the operation's illegal practices and make the defendants repay affected consumers."

"According to FTC's complaint, the companies used deceptive tactics in offering "free trials" for various online products, including acai berry weight loss pills, teeth whiteners, health supplements, work at home schemes, free credit reports and penny auctions."

"According to FTC, the companies obtained consumers' credit or debit card account numbers by promising they would only pay small shipping and handling fees and also promised phony "bonus" offers for signing up. Consumers had no reason to believe they would be charged for the trial product or extra bonus products, but they were often charged for the "free" trial and monthly recurring fees. Although the defendants offered a money-back guarantee, consumers were often unsuccessful in canceling the charges or obtaining refunds and the process involved time-consuming phone calls and other steps that made the deals far from risk free."

"The FTC further alleged that the defendants provided merchant banks with false or misleading information, in order to acquire and maintain credit and debit card processing services from the banks in the face of mounting chargeback rates and consumer complaints. The companies also allegedly violated the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E (issued by the Federal Reserve System's Board of Governors) by debiting consumers' bank accounts without their signed written consent and without providing consumers with a copy of the written authorization."

The Commission files a complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendant has actually violated the law. The case will be decided by the court.

The entire FTC complaint can be found at the link below.

We used this company once for a review on a vehicle. The report stated that the vehicle was clean. After we purchased the truck, our insurance agent informed us that through CarFax, it shows a serious accident with this vehicle. Unfortunately by then it was too late.
They also said we had signed up for a 10 payment plan of $19.95 per month for 25 histories - so we were billed $19.95 per month for 5 months under different company names until I realized what was happening.
You can chat online with someone who only has the authority to refund one month's payment and whether you chat or call, you are told to contact "Josh" who is the only person in the company that can authorize a refund larger than $19.95. There is no phone number where you can call the mysterious "Josh".
I have emailed him twice with no response. If you use this company - or any of their other bogus companies: MYINFOBILL.COM, BACKGROUNDFEE.COM, MYFEEPLAN.COM I can promise you will regret it. This outfit is a total fraud - NEVER do business with them.

I checked my bank account and thank goodness. I saw this and I asked my husband what he did. He was looking for a genealogy report. Who knows if we'll ever see that.

I'm grateful that the website was listed on our bank account and glad that I'm smart enough to check things out. He's under strict order to not use his credit card for any internet purchases EVER!

I'll be trying to get my $14.95 and my $1.00 back. Not expecting to and he's cancelling his card immediately.

Thanks for the info!

These people of "Josh the refund guy" run and have run their SCAM via many website names. Here's the shortlist (some of the site are no longer active, now being merely "parked" with ads).

All these are represented by "Josh" Please beware of their bait and switch credit card SCAMS. You may think you're paying $1, but they'll keep charging your CC $19.95 a month until you notice. Even if you get a refund, it is just a headache to have to cancel your credit card, wait for a new one, spend your time on the phone with the bank, etc.

Paid my dollar and got the report....then I started getting payments of 19.95 removed from my credit card. On one sight they state "after you purchase your report for $1.00, you have the option to purchase our volume discount package for $119.70 ". I wasn't given this option! Customer service reps don't help you get the money back. Big rip off!

Website claims they only charge $1 for 1 Report. However I checked out my bank statement recently. Turns out they charged me $20 the past 3 months without my authorization. I called these scammers they said "Yes, we it's $20 for 6 months." I requested a refund. They said we can't do that since it's been 3 months.... I'm will visit my bank and file complaint. Hopefully my bank will help me get me money back. Screw VehicleHistory.us.org & Josh

totel deception site, it worked once and gave me a report for a $1, i think, but next time it just kept asking me to do a premiumum report. when i called they isued a refund

Just like the others - $19.95 per month for life to get one report. I am careful whenever I buy something online and have no recollection of agreeing to a recurring charge. They did say they are going to credit/refund those charges. We'll see. That'll probably keep me from filing a complaint with the Attorney General's Office. But their eagerness to refund shows they know they are scamming people.

Here is 4 more in a series of fraudulent sites with Josh F, the scammer, and promoted by PRWeb. I have contacted PRWeb about the actions of this company and will get back to you.

Genealogy.us.org
Mugshots.us.org
BirthRecords.us.org
USRecordFee.com
MyinfoPlan.com

All of the above sites charge the same type fee. Josh F. continues to try to hide behind these sites. We need to shut this down. I know there are attorneys looking into this, along with the BBB and FTC.

Please don't trust this company! It's a scam, the vin reports are fake, the dollar fee is a lie, these people are scammers!

I needed info on someone who I met that was real evasive about his life.
I found this company that I thought was charging me a dollar to find info...How stupid I was...should have known it was to good to be true. I did finally find out this guy I met had forgery charges some years back that was found by ME in some public records on the Internet. I found it...not this scamming company. I have asked for my money back three times now and they haven't returned it yet. I'm pissed off big time. This 19.95 and 1.00 charge has to go...!!!!!!SCAM BIG TIME!!!

I had the same negative experience as many of the above posters. Their offers are misleading to the point, in my opinion, of concealing material facts. They have this scam down to a science - knowinghow to skate on the border of the law. Web sites like this one help - but only after the fact. - when victims have been burned.

I'm a careful Internet user. I intend to file a complaint with the BBB and any other authority that will prevent the proliferation of this scam. Any other concrete suggestions will be appreciated. Companies like this count on their victims being too busy, lazy or helpless to fight them.

I went to vehiclehistory.com to obtain a $1 VIN report for a car I was thinking about buying. The results turned up with No Records. Ok. So I contact them and they put a credit on my account for 1 VIN search. Cool, since I was still in the market for a car. However, based on the first lousy search I went with Carfax instead. A month goes by and I see a charge for $19.95! What? I contact them and was promptly told I signed up for some service where I would be charged monthly. I NEVER clicked any button other than the $1 report! This is a scam, a fraud and a terrible wrong! I will take this to whatever agency needed to make them act legally or get out of business! I wonder how many people have NO IDEA that same thing has happened to them!!! Cheaper is not Better! Carfax is the only place I will EVER go for a VIN report from now on! BEWARE!!!

I recently was going to purchase a cheaper truck for my husband for Christmas, so he can haul things around the yard and do whatever manly things he wanted to do with it. I found a cheaper truck that looked in good working condition, but I wanted to check out the vehicle history before I did so. After going on to vehiclehistory.us.org, I bought what I thought was a 1 dollar report. The report listed the truck was clean, with no major service or totalled etc.

My husband got the vehicle this Christmas Eve and was pleased with the vehicle, except there was an issue with the front axle and he was going to trade it with his brother in law's truck.

Well we come to find out today, when transferring the registration, that the truck I bought, that was cleared by vehiclehistory, was totalled in MS! Carfax picked it up. Even the free government website picked it up. I bought a totalled car based on the report given to me by this company

The icing on the cake, I checked my credit card statement, and sure enough, there is a 19.95 charge on my account and it looks like they are going to charge me for the next six months.

I have contacted my credit card company to get my money back, then I will cancel my card, and will be filing an FBI report. How can they scam someone on Christmas?!

Let me know if there is a class action suit against this company, as I want my 500 dollars back from this totalled truck.

They did provide the info I wanted, but was very dissapointed how misleading they are. I signed up for a $10 service, then was charged 19.95 on my account. I let that one go because I just didn't want to mess with it. now 3 months later, I received a bank debit from backgroundfee.com for 19.95! So after calling my bank to let them know its was fraudulent, i tracked down this company. apparently they handle the medd that vh.com makes? They said that I had signed up for a monthly service. Ridiculous! They did return the charge, but it's sad that they have to have a system set up just to handle that. They're misleading and they know it. I'll pay extra next time to do business with a respectable company.

This company got my $1.00, and then charged me another $19.95. I called and the CSR told me She was sorry and would refund the $19.95 and cancel the account they created for me. Next month, I got charged $19.95 again and still no refund. I called and was told Josh would fix it, to email him. Now they have charged me $19.95 again, under a different company name. The previous charges were from myinfobill.com, the new charges are from backggroundcheck.us.org, both have the same address, and you guessed it the same "email Josh, he can refund you" customer service message.

I've now had to cancel that debit card and get a new one (over Christmas) What a flipping douchebag this company is. No money has been refunded to my account as of this writing.

Next step is to file CC fraud charges against them with my bank, the FBI, and any other gov't federal or state offices I can find.

What can we do about this scam company?

1. File BBB.
2. Go to Attoney of General
3. Organize a classic lawsuit against this company

I heard one scam company got punished when BBB and Attoney of General nationwide received more than 100 complaints. The Attoney of General of the state where the scam company is locaed requested the scam company to refund all the costumers and fined the scam company $25000.

We should do the same thing to this carinfo1, carinfo2 or myinfobill, then the CO Attoney of General will do something about it.

Let's organize together to fight this scam company!!

Don't be fooled, vehiclehistory.us.org is being heavily advertised. Don't be deceived. It is the same fraudulent company as vehiclehistory.com. They do this every few months to avoid the negative publicity. They flood google with fake news websites touting how great their company is. Don't believe me? look up vehiclehistory.us.org and you will see these. They did the same thing for vehiclehistory.com
