Never order from ProFlowers.com

In July, I thought I’d be nice and order Kate some flowers from ProFlowers.com, as she’d ordered things for her mom there and they had nice products and a good selection. And then I didn’t really order anything else flower-wise again. However, this morning I discovered that the Visa card I stopped using a month or so ago was carrying a charge from “Easy Saver” for $14.95. I thought that I had perhaps seen these charges before, but always thought it was a gas station or maybe my EZPass charging me and never thought much of it. A closer look showed these charges showing up at a rate of one per month since August 2008 – totaling $135.

A stop on Google later revealed that Easy Saver has been scamming lots of ProFlowers.com customers the same way – and that ProFlowers.com knows about it but still maintains a partnership with this “discount and rewards program.”

I have to say, any company that charges you for something or enrolls you in a service because you had no opportunity to say “no” is completely fraudulent in my book. And any company that knowingly turns over their customer’s credit card information to a company that will only use it to rip off innocent people is even worse.

Never buy from ProFlowers.com. If you have, check your credit card statements for charges from Easy Saver. If you’ve been charged call 1-800-453-2894 and ask that an NTR form be filled out and that your money be refunded. Complain to the BBB about ProFlowers.com and spread the word. This is the worst kind of anti-consumer bullshit and it’s got to stop.

P.S. After I got off the phone with ProFlowers.com, Kate discovered that she, too had been charged since she last ordered flowers for her mom in August.
