Why is everyone saying they won here? Shouldn't you be smart enough to know that winning a package worth thousands of dollars is a scam?

You have to pay for a fee ***. Read stuff before sending forms.I bet you haven't read all contracts you've signed including your pre-nup.

Unprofessional, bad service. Horrible AR and management departments.

We have been dealing with this company not by choice. Our condo belongs to a complex that they manage. They increase monthly payments whenever they feel like it. Their AR department is impossible to deal with; they don’t pick up their phone or, if they do, they yell at you and hang up. We pay high maintenance fees every month, however when we ask to address an issue, they refuse to. People in Management are rude and arrogant. Very unprofessional staff of property managers and accountants. The level of service doesn’t meet American standards. If you can avoid them, do so.

American Leisure has been deducting $16.95 from my account for over a year.

This problem started about 2 years ago. I do not remembering ordering anything from this company and I certainly don't know what I am paying for!! The $16.95 per mo. charge has gone on and on. And yes I am a pissed internet user. I am ready to stop using the internet for purchases or any type of add information. The person that I talked to at the company said that the charge would be stopped and they were. Then I noticed 2 months ago that I am being charged again. Are there any lawyers involved in stopping this company? Can someone tell me how to get these charges to stop? I would truly appreciate some advise.

when they put you on a recording they offer you a free 30 day trial to the alg travel membership. They indicate that if you wish to cancel to call that 1888 number and i guessing none of you did and you agreed on a recording to these charges so stop saying that you forget agreeing to it when you 100 percent did.

How does somebody not notice charges for 3 years and then finally comes on here to say you were taken for 600.00. Go call your families and get a POA if you cant handle your own finances

Guest

I was taken for over 600.00 from American Leisure over a 3 year period. I don't check my VISA bill carefully.

I will now. I charge everything, and I get pages of stuff on my bill.They have agreed to give me $200 credit to my account. We will see. I never approved these charges.

I am so mad at myself for not seeing this before now.

it appears that they do this to many people. The bank has frozen them so they can't do it anymore.

They need to be stopped!

John N Mzy

I cannot be sympathetic to anyone who apparently does not see a $16.95 charge on their charge account for two years!!! And, after they stopped the charge it has again been happening for the past two months!

Really, there should be a test to pass before some people are allowed to use charge cards.

American Leisure takes advantage of 88 yr old

American Leisure and Easy Saver has been taking money from my mother's checking account for over a year. I recently discovered this because I am now having to write out my mother's checks for her to sign and therefore I review her bank statement. When I saw this I immediately called and was told that my mother joined in a certain month over a year ago. However, I had to give them information that resulted in being told that the account was not in her name and that there was a post office box with the account. When I gave the id number attached to her bank account statement...well guess what...they found the account!! Unbelievable that they do not spell her name correctly, she has never received anything in the mail, but they manage to get her bank account correct every month! I was told that she "probably" joined because she purchased some vitamins or joint medicine over the phone! she has done neither...but is 88 years old and these awful telemarketing companies provide their employees with lists of older human beings and prey upon them...what in the world would an 88 year old dimented, arthritic senior citizen need with discounts to spas, gyms and golf courses?? This is disgusting....so far I have had to speak to 3 different indidivuals to try and get an answer and now I am actually emailing another person with Americal Leisure....and guess what, I still do not have an answer! Are you shocked? American Leisure and Super Saver are not the first companies I have had to take on, on behalf of my mother. Once again, I will not stop until she gets her money back. These companies should be closed down!!

dimented, arthritic senior citizen??? and your letting your mother/grandmother handle her own finances.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Whats wrong an older lady enjoying life and treating herself to a spa. My grandmother is that age and she loves getting pampered.

Nice way to over comment on something that isn't even true.

Guest

Thanks for posting this. I am taking over my grandmother's finances and just found this charge, and I can already tell it's been happening for at least a year.

Guest

I HAVE FOUGHT WITH THIS COMPANY FOR MONTHS. LIKE YOU, NOTHING!

I AM 59 AND CONSIDERED A SENIOR CITIZEN. I THINK YOU ARE 100% CORRECT REGARDING LISTS OF SENIOR CITIZENS. I AM ALSO GETTING CHARGED $0.51 FOR A FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE WHICH I FOUND IS A RESULT OF AMERICAN LEISURE.

WOULD YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOUR MOTHER IS BEING CHARGED? THANKS.

American Leisure Co. Strikes Again!

They have been taking money out of my account for over a year before I discovered it.. It was below %17.00 every month so it was not as noticeable, that is probably how they get away with it, especially older people. Not even sure how to get them to stop but am working on that. They maybe rich now but they will end up scamming themselves sooner or later. I am going to get legal counsel to see if I can recover any of my money. People check your accounts and make sure no small amounts are coming out like this, where is the law to stop people like this? The company CEO's and executives even have the nerve to put their names and pictures on their website.

One of the best scam companies.

I contacted this company, American Leisure, who told me they receive over 1,000 calls a day. The person I talked with was extremely pleasant and had the telephone number of the company memorized. I told the company I would be calling the Attorney Generals Office should my charge card not me credited for the months charged. Correct no: 1-88*-505-****. Was told I will be credited for all the months paid. Will let you know. Called American Leisure who told me they were NOT the company and have received thousands of calls. She did provide the telephone no. Marilyn

marilyn 24bbe74, i call my bank, they reversed the charges back to american leisure per an investgation, but the charges were reversed back to me, the bank then issused me a new debit card, but the charges came back after two month.My next step is to only use the debit card at ATM machines own by my bank, and see what happens. My bank is in the process of reversing the charges a second time. We will see what happens this time.

I got ripped off

I signed up for something off the radio, cancelled it after I got the free sample and now EZ Saver and American Leisure have taken money out of my checking account. Boy did I get taken. When I get ahold of them, they are going to wish they never heard from me. I learned a valuable lesson, this is the first time that I have been a victim of a scam. If they don't refund my money the first time I talk to them, I will make all agents hear my mouth. Don't ever order anything off the radio!

American Leisure & Easy Saver

When authorizing an automated phone purchase for a completely different product, I was fooled into "okaying" additional monthly charges through Encore Marketing for American Leisure and Easy Saver "coupons & offers." My monthly charges came to $16.95 for each. Had I not been verbally run in circles in order to purchase the one product, I never would have consented to have my credit card charged for "additional services." Encore Marketing should be ashamed of themselves for ripping off consumers.

Shame on you! And shame on me for making a phone purchase in the first place. Never buy Ultra Lean Green Tea packets--they're *** for over $70/mo.

and then American Leisure and Easy Saver will *** monthly for another $34.

I had this same problem. After researching, I found out that 2 years ago, I agreed to try Hydroxatone for 30 days. A credit card was required to get the 30 day free trial.

Before the 30 days was up, I returned the product and cancelled any further charges. At least that's what I thought. The $16.95 a month is from American Leisure, which bills for Hydroxatone. Luckily I saved the information when I sent the product back and cancelled my account.

I talked with my bank and they are going to dispute all charges for the past 2 years.

Yes, I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't catch it for that long.

The bank said I probably don't need the information I have showing I sent the product back and cancelled my account, but to keep it just in case.

Two lessons....check your bank and credit card statements for anything that you don't remember purchasing and keep copies of everything you send back.

I hope this helped anyone else being unfairly charged. It's just a darned shame that honest people are being taken advantage of. REALLY makes me mad!!

Oh, one more thing. There was a phone number on my statement to the company American Leisure, but I did NOT call and cancel my account through that number. I figured it might give that company leverage in claiming that I didn't cancel it until just now, when in reality, I cancelled it two years ago.

Guest

I never use my card anymore and send about ten dollars more than what my monthly payment is and I never notice the balance going down. I then proceed to look at recent activity only to find that a company called "American Leisure" is hosing me down for $16.95 a month and I don't even know who this company is or whom they represent.

I just know that they are getting paid every month and I don't like it.

I did however call the number that someone was kind enough to post in this blog and they gave me the option to cancel my membership which I was able to do. Does anyone know how to go about getting this money back?

Guest

Same thing happened to me ... didn't "notice" it till months had gone by ...

called them and complained ... they gave me ALL of my money back and cancelled that charge for the future ...

AMEN ...

Guest

Hydroxatone are business partners with Easy Saver and American Leisure. When you order Hydroxatone, they want to "reward you" with a trial of Easy Saver and American Leisure.

I did not agree to trial either of these but yet Easy Saver and American Leisure still billed my account with information that I gave to Hydroxatone. Furthermore, they said they sent me a welcome package.

I can assure you that I did not recieve anything from Easy Saver or American Leisure.

The time, effort, and money that I lost dealing with Easy Saver and American Leisure would have been better spent on a higher quality product than Hydroxatone. Protect yourself by not doing business with Hydroxatone

Guest

american leisure is 1-87*-***-**** & easy saver is 1-87*-***-****

Guest

Telephone numbers:

American Leisure - 877 564 ****

EZ Saver - 800 262 ****

The companies are connected. Cancel and complain (for all the good it will do) by calling American Leisure.

Guest

Dead on. Another scam on the elderly. I just was fumbling through my father's bank statement to find similar charges by these companies. So far only $1.00 each, but I'm sure the 16.95 is just around the corner.

I found this website:

cancels.myeasysaver.com

it walks you through the cancelation process and provides a confirmation number. I'm crossing my fingers that it worked. I've never been able to actually find a telephone number on these companies. Unfortunately on the bank statement it cuts off the last digit but here is what WAS printed:

Ez Saver 800-26*-***

Amer Leis 877-56*-***

Good luck!

Guest

:( Are u freakin kidding me????? Two charges of $16.95 hit my account overdrawing it.

I have filed affidavits with my bank, but does anyone know where this/these companies are located? This sounds like a case for the Attorney General and/or the BBB.

Guest

Another scam on an elderly person. My Aunt has been charged $16.95 at least twice a month for 3 or 4 months now.

She is not mentally capable of making decisions or pursuing this fraud. I am closing all of her accounts.

That seems to be the only way to stop these leeches. Too bad our government can't do something to stop American Leisure and Easy Saver.

Guest

:( I look on my bank statment too late because they have already charged me money for a service that the brand company said I did accept. I called and told them that I wanted my money back but I will receive only half.

What is wrong with them I did not receive any service. What can I do?

I was mysteriously made a member of Amer. Leis.

and Easy Saver. My credit card was charged 33.90 per month for both for four months before I noticed. I called Amer. Leis.

to cancel and complain. They refunded one month of payments.

They still owe me over $100., they refuse to pay. I never received information from the company.

Pharmazone/Viapren sold my debt card info. to another company

My husband heard about Viapren from a radio ad. He called and ordered for the free trial packet. Not only did we receive the strips, we were sent the pleasure ring and some icky gel. We knew we would be charged for the trial packet of tongue strips, but they also charged us for the pleasure ring and gel (something we DID NOT order).

After trying the tongue strips, they did absolutely nothing for us. And for the gel, it was awful and didn't do anything but make that intimate moment anything but pleasurable. As for the pleasure ring, well needless to say, it was a waste of time. It's now a play-toy for our cat.

Here is where the REAL problem with Phamazone/Viapren starts. Not only were their products less than satisfactory, they SOLD our debt card information to other companies.

Yesterday I was doing my online banking and saw where there were TWO transactions for $16.95 each that debted my account a few days ago. It was from Easy Saver and American Leisure. Thank GOD there was an 800 number given on my account transaction for both of these companies because I had no idea who they were and what the charges were for. I contacted my husband at work to see if he had bought anything from either one of these companies and he too had no idea what this was for.

I called the 800 numbers that were given to inquire what these charges were for and was shocked to find out that when my husband ordered the product from Pharmazone/Viapren a month back, they said he agreed to memberships with both companies where there was a $16.95 monthly membership fee.

I assured, Trista, the customer service rep. for American Leisure that this was not the case and for her to credit this money back. She informed me that no credits would be given that she could only cancel any further charges to my bank account. I advised her that this was a serious case of fraud and I would be taking further action.

After speaking with this "dim-wit", I contacted my bank and was advised to come in and submit forms to dispute the charges. I was also advised to change all my account numbers and to have my debt card canceled and to get another one reissued as they would probably try to charge my account at a later date.

I am in the process of contacting the Better Business Bureau in Phoenix Arizona to file a complaint against all three of these companies as they all committed fraud.

Hopefully if everyone that has been duped by these companies file a complaint the BBB will take legal action.

American Leisure EZ SAver ripped me off for 2 years

My bank US BANK called me about unauthorized use of my debit card and canceled it for me. I went over charges for the past 3 months and noticed American Leisure had been scarfing out 14.95 each month. I had never heard of them and called to find out what service they were providing me. Evidently I had ordered something(still don't know what) from the internet 2 YEARS AGO and American Leisure has been scarfing out of my account ever since. If I could figure out what company I ordered from, I will NEVER order from them again. Another unauthorized charge was from Reservation Rewards, this one scarfed in for $9.95 in when I ordered from SmartBargains.com a couple of months ago. Both Smart Bargains and RR heard from me and I will NEVER order from Smart Bargains again. I am reporting both RR & AL to the FTC and Missouri Better Business Bureau and Missouri Atty General.

American Leisure

I'm furious as to why American Leisure is deducting $19.80 out of my account when I don't know anything about them! Every month this happens. Another one is Home Source and Easy Saver. Who are these people stealing from the public like this?? This makes me mad! These people have to be stopped NOW!! Agree? Does anybody out there know anything about Easy Saver or Home Source? If so, what are your reviews and how do I contact them. I need my money refunded back as soon as possible. This has to be resolved now! Thank You!
