Noom Hidden Upfront Charges Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous consumer complaints regarding Noom’s potentially fraudulent and misleading signup practices used to fool customers into paying large upfront charges when those customers only intended to try a “risk-free trial.”

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Noom may have deliberately modified its signup process to entice consumers to begin the Noom enrollment process with the promise of a free trial, only to pull a bait and switch at the end of the signup process.  Many consumers report that Noom leads them to believe they are only signing up for a 7-day trial membership, but then later in the signup process Noom tries to get consumers to skip the trial period entirely, and instead pay a large upfront cost for the entire Noom program totaling more than $100.  In addition, although the signup process still offers a button to continue with the trial membership, Noom deliberately hides or minimizes this option to make finding and selecting it more difficult, and to make users more likely to instead agree to waive the trial period—many of whom skip the trial without even realizing they have done so.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of Noom customers unwittingly charged large upfront fees to recover unauthorized charges and other damages. 

If you were enticed into being charged for a large upfront payment by Noom when you only intended to sign up for a no-risk trial membership, you are not alone!

LinkedIn Auto Enrollment Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding LinkedIn’s potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling customers in pricey paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments or large annual fees without consumers’ consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that LinkedIn may have lured users into paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials, deliberately hiding the fact that those trials will automatically convert into paid subscriptions. Evidence further suggests that even customers who successfully cancel these trial memberships within the trial period may still be charged, in some cases hundreds of dollars they never agreed to pay.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of LinkedIn users unwittingly roped into paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages. 

Consumer complaints about LinkedIn accuse the company of billing them without notice or authorization, including no confirmation emails about a subscription or payment. Customers call this practice “tantamount to fraud,” “outrageous,” and accuse LinkedIn of being a “scam.” Consumers who try to cancel their subscriptions report that there is no way to contact LinkedIn customer service by phone, chat, or email, allege that when they do try to contact customer service, they are bounced around without ever being provided a way to talk to a representative, and describe the quality of customer service as “abysmal.”

If you were enrolled in a paid LinkedIn membership and charged recurring payments or a large annual fee by LinkedIn without your knowledge or consent, you are not alone!

ClassPass Partner Earnings Miscalculation Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating complaints from business owners regarding ClassPass’s potentially fraudulent practice of miscalculating the earnings paid to ClassPass partner businesses.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that ClassPass may be violating its agreements with respect to payments in order to underpay studios, gyms, wellness and beauty venues that partner with ClassPass and keep the extra revenue for itself.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of ClassPass partner businesses to recover earnings underpayments.

Founded in 2013, ClassPass claims to be “revolutionizing the fitness and wellness industry,” but complaints from business owners paint a darker picture. Business owners accuse ClassPass of continually underpaying their businesses, and allege that once ClassPass signs up a large enough number of studios in a local area that ClassPass further decreases payouts to studios, or “pushes the payouts even lower.” Other studio partners say ClassPass is a “horrible company to work with.” Partner studios also claim that ClassPass are “thieves” who have a “lack of attention to critical matters like pay.” Studio owners further allege that although ClassPass is supposed to provide partner businesses with dynamic pay — meaning that studios are supposed to receive larger payouts for busier classes — that ClassPass instead pays “close to the minimum payout” even for classes that are “completely full.”

If you are the owner of a studio, gym, wellness or beauty venue that partners with ClassPass and believe ClassPass may have underpaid you the earnings you are owed, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.

Keto GT “Diet Pills” Deceptive Advertising to Californians

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints from California consumers regarding Keto GT’s potentially deceptive and fraudulent practices surrounding its advertising of diet pills.

 Evidence suggests that Keto GT is dishonestly representing its diet pills as having been endorsed by celebrities and TV personalities, using fake consumer testimonials, and displaying pictures of two different people that it presents to audiences as “before-and-after” pictures.  Similarly, Keto GT has claimed that the diet pills are backed by investors from the popular television show “Shark Tank,” but Keto GT has never appeared on the show. In addition, many Keto GT customers claim to have been signed up for pricey negative-option plans where they are automatically sent and billed for additional Keto GT diet pills on a regular basis, and say that Keto GT charged them much more than they expected to pay — practices that consumers have alleged are “fraudulent.” Consumers have accused the Keto GT diet pills of being a “scam” and that the company’s claims are “bogus.” Furthermore, consumers have reported that it is unnecessarily difficult to contact consumer service with questions or complaints, those consumers who do manage to reach Keto GT customer service representatives are unable to obtain refunds.

WMP has filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file a similar lawsuit on behalf of customers of Keto GT to recover damages on their behalf.

 If you live in California and believe you were deceived by Keto GT’s false advertising and fraudulent practices, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation.  Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.  You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

ClassPass Auto Enrollment Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating complaints from California consumers regarding ClassPass’s potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling those consumers in pricey paid plans and charging consumers recurring payments without their consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that ClassPass may have lured customers in California into paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials, deliberately hiding the fact that those trials will automatically convert into paid subscriptions. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of California customers of ClassPass to recover unauthorized charges and other damages. 

Founded in 2013, ClassPass claims to be “revolutionizing the fitness and wellness industry,” but consumer complaints paint a darker picture. Consumers have accused ClassPass of being “shady” and a “scam,” that is committing “fraud” by charging them for auto-renewal payments without consumers’ awareness or authorization, and that ClassPass uses “predatory policies” that are only “disclosed in fine print.” Some consumers say that ClassPass has “stolen hundreds of dollars” from them for a service that they never used, particularly for charges incurred after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and allege that ClassPass is “falsely promoting free trials.” ClassPass customers attempting to cancel their subscriptions report that when contacting ClassPass customer service, consumers have to navigate chat bot responses before reaching an actual person to help with their problem, and some say they have cancelled multiple times but continue to be charged anyway.

If you are located in California and were enrolled in a paid plan and charged recurring payments by ClassPass without your knowledge or consent, you are not alone!

NRG Energy Inc. ESCO Investigation

Contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints from consumers regarding NRG Energy’s potentially fraudulent business practices.

As detailed in a Wall Street Journal report, nearly 20 years ago Texas shifted away from using full-service regulated utilities to deliver power to consumers in favor of regional deregulated retail power companies.  According to the WSJ, since this change Texas consumers have paid more for electricity than state residents who are still served by traditional utilities.  In total, three quarters of the retail electricity sold in Texas comes from just two retail-energy providers—Vistra Corp. and NRG Energy Inc.—and their subsidiaries.

NRG Energy is one of the largest retail energy suppliers in the United States.  NRG entices residential customers to sign up for its service by offering its energy at low initial “teaser rates.”  Yet the company doesn’t alert unsuspecting customers that when the teaser rate period expires, they will be charged exorbitant variable energy rates.  NRG’s customers are given no advance notice of these excessive variable rates.  The company also does not disclose to customers that its rates are consistently higher than the rates charged by traditional utilities, or how variable rate customers can calculate (and avoid) steep variable gas and electricity charges.

NRG Energy also defrauds customers through a pricing strategy rigged in the company’s favor.  When the underlying wholesale market price of energy that NRG purchases for resale goes up, NRG simply passes on these costs to their customers by raising rates.  However, when the market price goes down, NRG’s rate remains at an inflated level higher than the market rate.  NRG’s practice of charging inflated electric and gas prices is intentionally designed to maximize revenue without providing any additional value for consumers.

If you used or are currently using NRG Energy to supply your electricity or gas, we urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation.  Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.  You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

PlateJoy Health Auto Enrollment Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding PlateJoy’s potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling consumers in pricey annual or multi-month paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments without consumers’ consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that PlateJoy may have lured users into lengthy paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials and purported “monthly” costs, obscuring the fact that those trials will automatically convert into six-month or annual paid subscriptions with large upfront charges. Evidence further suggests that PlateJoy has made the cancellation process unnecessarily difficult and that unauthorized, recurring charges may continue even after a consumer has cancelled the unwanted subscription. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of PlateJoy users unwittingly roped into unwanted paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages.

Founded in 2012, PlateJoy offers weekly recipes and grocery lists that it claims are personalized to help consumers achieve “optimal health and wellbeing.” But consumer complaints have described PlateJoy as a “rip off,” a “fraud,” “sneaky,” and a “scam,” and accuse PlateJoy of hitting consumer’s accounts with “surprise” charges. These complaints allege that PlateJoy misled consumers into signing up for a subscription at a small monthly amount with the promise that they could “cancel any time” before instead charging a large upfront fee, that PlateJoy uses auto-renewal to convert consumers’ free trials into paid subscriptions without their knowledge, that PlateJoy makes it difficult to cancel the subscription and to contact customer service, and that PlateJoy has continued to charge consumers even after they cancel.

If you were enrolled in a paid PlateJoy membership and were charged recurring payments or a large upfront fee by PlateJoy without your knowledge or consent, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.

NordVPN Cancellation Difficulties Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding NordVPN’s potentially illegal practice of making it difficult and confusing to cancel their automatically renewing memberships to prevent consumers from stopping recurring payments to NordVPN.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that NordVPN may have designed its cancellation process so as to actually prevent NordVPN users from cancelling. These design techniques include over-complicated navigation menus, hiding cancellation options in grey text on white backgrounds, requiring users to request cancellation multiple times, and requiring mandatory “confirmation” via email within 15 minutes of completing the cancellation process on NordVPN’s website.

Consumer complaints accuse NordVPN of using “dishonest” business practices designed to “deceive” customers, describe the auto-renewal function as “fraudulent,” and describe the company as a “scam.” Numerous consumers have reported difficulty even finding the option to cancel their NordVPN subscriptions.

Consumers who do manage to find NordVPN’s option to cancel are taken to a page with a prominent link to maintain their membership, and a much harder-to-find link to “Cancel Auto-Renewal,” which the user must click on three separate times. Throughout the process, NordVPN uses what experts call “confirmshaming,” where cancelling users are bombarded with a laundry list of features they will lose if they cancel their memberships. After finally completing cancellation, users are automatically directed to a webpage reading “For true peace of mind, enable auto-renewal and avoid any interruptions to your service,” as a final attempt to bring cancelling users back into the fold. Convoluted cancellation processes such as these do not benefit consumers and only serve to reduce cancellations and enable companies to continue to charge consumers for services that they no longer want. Tactics like the ones used by NordVPN to prevent users from cancelling subscriptions have been named “dark patterns” by experts.

If you are or were previously a NordVPN customer and experienced difficulty trying to cancel your membership, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.

Busuu Auto Enrollment Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding Busuu’s potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling customers in pricey paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments without consumers’ consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Busuu may have lured users into paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials, deliberately hiding the fact that those trials will automatically convert into paid subscriptions.  Evidence further suggests that customers who realize they are being charged without authorization are not able to cancel the unauthorized subscriptions through Busuu.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of Busuu users unwittingly roped into unwanted paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages. 

Consumer complaints accuse Busuu of running a “scam,” committing “fraud” against them, and “stealing” money.  Users say that Busuu charges consumers for lengthy subscriptions without notice and without authorization, that Busuu uses auto-renewal to continue renewing consumer accounts, that Busuu makes it intentionally difficult to stop future auto-renewal charges or contact the company regarding their concerns, that Busuu uses a difficult to navigate CAPTCHA tests when consumers attempt to cancel their subscriptions, that Busuu refuses to provide refunds when requested, that Busuu actually increases the price it charges consumers upon renewal of their subscriptions, and that even consumers who don’t use their Busuu accounts are charged for renewal of their subscriptions.

If you were enrolled in a paid Busuu membership and were charged recurring payments or a large annual fee by Busuu without your knowledge or consent, you are not alone!  We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case. You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

MalwareBytes Auto Enrollment Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints regarding MalwareBytes’ potentially fraudulent practice of automatically enrolling customers in pricey paid plans after ostensibly free trials and charging recurring payments without consumers’ consent.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that MalwareBytes may have lured users into paid subscription plans unknowingly with misleading free trials, deliberately hiding the fact that those trials will automatically convert into paid subscriptions. Evidence further suggests that customers who realize they are being charged without authorization are not able to cancel the unauthorized subscriptions through MalwareBytes. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of MalwareBytes users unwittingly roped into unwanted paid memberships to recover unauthorized charges and other damages.

MalwareBytes provides products that are intended to stop malware from infecting consumers’ computers, preventing privacy violations and identity theft.  But consumers accuse MalwareBytes of being a “scam,” assessing “fraudulent charges,” and leaving them “stuck” paying for unwanted and unneeded services.  User complaints further indicate that MalwareBytes charges consumers for subscriptions that last one to two years without prior notice of the charge, and charges users without authorization.  Those consumers that do manage to discover that they are being charged by MalwareBytes allege that they find it difficult or “virtually impossible” to contact MalwareBytes to stop future auto-renewal charges or to otherwise contact the company with concerns or complaints, and further report that MalwareBytes refuses to provide refunds for unauthorized charges when requested.

If you were enrolled in a paid MalwareBytes membership and were charged recurring payments or a large annual fee by MalwareBytes without your knowledge or consent, or had difficulty cancelling auto-renewal charges, you are not alone!  We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation.

Noom Gift Card Survey Scam

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints from consumers regarding Noom’s potentially fraudulent practice of promising a gift card for completing a Noom research survey.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Noom sent consumers an email requesting that they complete a survey in exchange for a $20 Amazon gift card. Consumers who upheld their end of the bargain claim that Noom in turn failed to honor its promise and is not providing the gift card. Those consumers allege that Noom told them the survey email was sent out by mistake, and Noom is therefore refusing to fulfill its end of the bargain.

Consumers are furious with Noom, calling the gift card email a “scam,” “sneaky,” and a “con,” accusing Noom of being “dishonest,” and complaining that Noom forced consumers to waste their time to collect their personal information. These consumers allege that Noom in fact never intended to provide gift cards and simply thought it could trick people into answering a survey for nothing. Other consumers claim that when they tried to reply to Noom’s gift card email to get their promised $20, the email “bounced back,” making it unnecessarily difficult to complain about the bait-and-switch. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of Noom survey participants to obtain the gift cards Noom promised but failed to provide.

If you were promised a $20 gift card for completing a Noom survey and did not receive it, you are not alone!

Heatspan Boiler Maintenance and Insurance Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating complaints from consumers regarding Heatspan’s potentially fraudulent practices surrounding its boiler maintenance, boiler insurance, and parts protection plan.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Heatspan may be luring consumers into paid subscription plans but not honoring those plans, failing to perform maintenance as promised, or engaging in improper billing.  WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of customers of Heatspan to recover unauthorized charges and other damages.

If you believe you were deceived by Heatspan’s practices, we urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation.

StubHub Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating complaints from consumers regarding StubHub’s potentially fraudulent refund practices employed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consumers are being refused refunds for the tickets they bought to events that were cancelled due to the pandemic.  Consumers are alleging that StubHub recently replaced its long-time cash refund policy.  Instead of giving full refunds for cancelled events, StubHub is offering consumers a credit for future use in lieu of any cash refund “as determined in StubHub’s sole discretion.”  Worse, it appears that StubHub is rewriting history—applying this one-sided policy even to tickets purchased before the new refund policy was implemented.

Evidence further suggests that StubHub is refusing to acknowledge that some events were cancelled at all, instead referring to them as indefinitely “postponed” and refusing refunds on that basis as well. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major setback for businesses and consumers alike.  Rather than attend mass gatherings, consumers are staying home and practicing social distancing.  Many are under explicit shelter-in-place orders and are out of work.  Now, adding insult to this injury, StubHub refuses to return consumers’ hard-earned and much-needed money paid for events they cannot attend.

If you purchased a ticket to an event through StubHub, Inc., we urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation.  Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.  You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.

Mint Energy Investigation

Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints from consumers regarding Mint Energy’s potentially fraudulent business practices.  These consumers were promised savings on their energy bills, but after switching to Mint Energy their rates were higher than their local utilities’ rates, in some cases doubling.  Consumers allege that had they been made aware of the company’s true intention to raise rates, they never would have purchased Mint’s energy.

Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Mint Energy may have lured customers into switching to Mint with promises of significant savings, only to increase its rates well beyond market rates.  These rate increases may have been implemented by enrolling customers into higher-cost plans without their consent or knowledge.  WMP has already filed class actions against other energy companies that have engaged in these deceptive practices, and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of customers of Mint Energy to recover overcharges and other damages.  

Recently, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) commenced an investigation into Mint Energy’s trade practices, including refusing to honor pricing agreements in 65 negotiated consumer contracts.  In denying Mint’s request for PURA not to open a proceeding, PURA found that Mint Energy may have violated Connecticut consumer protection laws which require energy suppliers to clearly state their rates, how those rates might change, and under what circumstances a company may cancel a contract.
