Just an fyi folks.... I noticed a $1.00 charge from savingsmart dot com on my CC statement today. I never authorized this and from what I can gather through Google and the like, they are scamming people. Apparently, they get your info from PrivacyMatters and continue to bill you for this 'service'. I have tried to contact someone and I can't get an email address nor can I reach anyone on the phone.

I joined Privacy Matters (1-2-3) and Save Smart is part of their service. I couldn't pull a copy of my credit report without having their page pop up.

I was also charged $1.00 for the Save Smart service. I called Privacy Matters and had them remove the charge. They did so and cancelled the Save Smart service that I never signed up for.

Make the call. I'm sure they'll take the charge off for you, too.

I noticed the same thing yesterday. Looking at the previous month's statement, they charged me $1.00 in November as well. I called the 800# and "cancelled." It is definitely tied to PM.

Just to update all of you.... I had received an email confirming my cancellation. In the email was another email address to contact them. I sent them a demand for my $1 back and they responded a few hours later saying it would be credited back and that my 'subscription' canceled. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out so they don't charge me again.
