I bought the rainbow beanies a couple of years ago and had no issues. Well, they had some awesome looking rainbow American flag stickers, so I figured I'd give em another try. My mistake was to order two kinds of stickers, I got six of the same ones instead of three and three. Now I am struggling to get my money refunded and they charged me another $20. Do not buy from Fans of Free.
This message and similar ones were sent to the company several times along with photographs but received no reasonable response, other than being asked for order # etc., which was provided:
"The bangle had been worn only a few times before the plastic rainbow colors started to peel away."
Eventually, they blocked me ln Messenger. Therefore, I sent several e-mails to which they have not replied.
Advice: Try other sites to shop for the exact same products.
I just discovered that I've been charged &19.99 monthly on my credit card by Fans of Free for several months. I called them and they said when I ordered beanies (2) from them awhile back, I was offered and indicated that I wanted an additional one for $1. (Who wouldn't take advantage of that, right?) Because I marked it, there was supposedly small print which then signed me up for this $19.99 monthly charge I never knew about. I hate businesses like this! Grrr…I asked for a refund. I will report back on their response.
Their required "membership" is a scam. Won't give refund. No contact except email. Big big scam!
Been ordering too hand out to youth coming out. Never an issue with delivery or quality of the flags. I'm a loyal customer for life
These rotten people are just out to take advantage of folks. They automatically sign you up for a meaningless membership that actually does not provide a single benefit except to line their pockets!
I objected when I discovered they were charging me every month for A YEAR! They refunded just 3 months of charges. Don't let them get away with it!
These people are real sneaky, if your not careful they will keep charging you $19.99 every month if you dont watch out. They Sign you up for a Membership fee charged monthly without you even knowing it!
I ordered one of their rainbow beanies on Feb 27th 2021 - they accepted my money from visa but they never sent the product and after 5 emails to the company not one reply. Even contacted shopify by they don't seem to be much help either want me to try my bank to get the money back. Ya right...
Stiffing people is a crime!
Even getting a new credit card won't stop them! I have told them to stop, notified my credit card company and they just keep claiming because "I purchased from the site I signed up for a membership." No. No. No.
I didn't even know there WAS a "membership" that went into effect when I bought from this site, if I did, I wouldn't have because Dollar Tree exists. And even if that WERE TRUE, I TRIED to "cancel" this bs "membership," I didn't sign up for, literal months ago and have frozen my credit card for months because of this. They also keep changing what this "membership" is for! Don't let them fool your companies, stay on them!
Every time I "unfroze" my account to pay my iMusic, they charged me MULTIPLE TIMES until I froze my card again! And we're talking, a mere 3 minute timespan.
Around Christmas, they charged my account for almost $250! Robbers! Scammers! Cowards! I've notified my credit card company of the situation AND notified the Attorney General. These shady business practices have to stop! They racked up over $1,000 on my card! DURING A PANDEMIC!
And for people saying their items are good- those are plants. Their items are pure crap! The mask is so boxy it doesn't fit a HUMAN face and so THICK that you can barely breathe in it and it CREASES HORRIBLY!
Its a little small for adults. Looks good but bends my ears forward. Hoping it will stretch out as I wear it.
I have instructed them repeatedly that this is a fraudulent debit. They are continuing to "steal" $19.95 every month.
Loved what i ordered from them, didn't love them auto signing me up for $19.99/month membership! Disputed with bank, just now, so will see if i get money back. Urg
I ordered a couple items last month and today I have a charge from them for $19.99. They claim that I agreed to a membership which I did not do. They must've had some teeny tiny, itty-bitty, nobody can read it, fine print somewhere on the order screen. Rude.
Do not buy from these crooks! I ordered 4 masks. Within 24 hours, or less I wrote them to cancel my order. They did cancel my order, but took my money anyway. THIEVES
They sign you up for a membership without being upfront, this is a predatory practice and should be considered fraud.
Took money out of my account without permission never signed up for this group. I notified bank and attorney general's office is this a scam site.
I want my 19.99 refunded to my account ASAP. I don't want this membership. I have no idea why this happened.
I was wrongly charged $19.99 this morning. It was an automatic deduction. I did NOT willingly sign up for a membership. I do not want to be a member and I did not agree to be one. I ordered a free pride flag a few weeks ago and it cost like $5 total. That I agreed to pay, nothing more. It is unfair that I was signed up for something without my knowledge. I expect a refund to be deposited to my account and this supposed membership canceled.
Answer: You withdrew $19.99 from my debit card on 11/09/20@ 11:44am with no consent from me. I have no idea who you are. Please refund my money.
