I was taken for $49.99 by this flashlight venture company in Lakewood Florida. They said all I had to do was pay for shipping 4.99 and then they took $49.99 out of my checking account and I never authorized it.

Tried to get the bank to fight they did but couldn't get money back so be careful of bad company's like this.

Flashlight Ventures is a Huge Scam

Their website has been suspended and I seem to be on indefinite hold for their customer care representative. Agreed - none of use want to pay $49.99 for a flashlight every month when we thought we were completing an Amazon survey and only paying shipping charges.My bank alerted me as to this fraud and blocked my card.

I called the company to request they remove me from their list. The rep was polite, removed the charges and told me to keep the flashlight.

SCAM!

I was also ripped off by Flashlight Ventures for $49.99. I thought it was some promo from Amazon Prime.....said I would be charged $4.95 for a tactical flashlight and it appeared on my credit card statement in January from SPGadgets Unlimited.Co 866-209-5921 FL. Then my February credit card statement had a $49.99 charge from Flashlight Ventures 888-738-8643 FL that I have never heard of......the two "companies"must be related......

Then I noticed a charge from an unkown source for $ 19.99 on my checking account. After i called my bank, they identified it was " Flashlight Ventures " and gave me a telephone number " 888-738-8643 . Called and they cancelled the recurring account, but advise.

Then advised that there would be a restocking charge of $ 10.49 , I complained, Then said they could issue a credit for 25% (5.00 ) to my debit card.

Overall, they said when I ordered it there was a popup that said you had to return / etc. within a 14 day trial period or they put you on an autoship program every month, and you would be charged on and on.

I , along with others apparently didn't read it well enough. ALAS They just made 14.99 off of me and everone else !! I will see if they issue the $5.00 refund and give an update if they don"t.

  • Mar 6, 2019

SCUMBAGS

I did the survey too thinking it was amazon and ordered the flashlight and they tried to charge my account $49.99 yesterday and my bank stopped the charges..THANKFULLY and shut down that card and issued a new one..I called the local Lakeland police dept about wire fraud and filed a report then this morning called Flashlight Ventures and got their customer service dept and was told the same thing that the terms and conditions were that I agreed to pay a monthly service fee to continue to use their products...$49.99 a month to use a FLASHLIGHT WTF how is this even legal..Everyone needs to join together and file a class action lawsuit for wire fraud and sue these POS!!!

Total Scam!!

Just like so many, the offer of a flashlight was way too good to be true. After order, flashlight arrived with a unordered headlight: no receipt, no return address, no identification of sender. Then the billing of my credit card began, $49 and $34 plus shipping charges. Fortunately, Chase fraud department identified problem and finally I have everything resolved. Unbelievable how deceptive they are!

Flashlight Ventures in Florida

unauthorized charges of $14.99 monthly on my account after answering Amazon survey and was charged $4.95 first time then for six months charged the $14.99. Originally thought this was a charge for something else. After recording them on my phone with a bad connection they are supposed refund 4 months. Had to fight for that. I told them I would be talking with my lawyer. Never every answer online surveys even through Amazon. This company is BAD news!!!

Flashlight Ventures Scam

Horrible way to do business. These guys need to be caught and sent to jail. I ordered and paid for headlamp in December 2018. It arrived with no receipt or literature. It broke when first touched. I put it away. But, $17.99 charge appeared on my CU credit card bill for March 2019. I called company and man said he would credit me the amount and leave an email with detail. This did not happen. I am refusing to pay for this deception.

  • Mar 18, 2019

Scam for shipping charge only, but a recurring charge of $14.99 for flashlight. No product ever. Can't get resolved, and i fell for it. Need to cancel card and report them to the a.G. Of state of fl.

  • Mar 7, 2019

Offered flashlights for $4.99, sent them okay for that price) then debited my credit card $49.99. They stole $45.00. It looks like they have since disbanded and are no longer in business. Scum bags

  • Mar 5, 2019

My banks fraud dept contacted me after these scum bags tried to fraudulently charge my account $49.99...Stealing peoples atm numbers is a crime

  • Feb 28, 2019

Performed survey supposedly from amazon and gift was flashlight for the cost of s&h. Paid that and then then charged me for product. I did survey and then they charged me full price. I never agreed to purchase items. When i called them they said i did.

Now in hands of my bank!

SCAM SCAM SCAM

If I could give this 0 stars I would. Like most of you all I paid the s & h of $4.95 at the end of a survey and then 2 weeks later got a charge of $49.99! I explained how I got the offer to them and they INSISTED they do not offer their products on surveys or use any other website offers. I was told the only way to purchase their flashlight was to go through their website! LIE LIE LIE! In the end I was offered a gift flashlight! NO I WANT THE $49.99 back! Then offered a $15 refund, once again, I said NO I PAID $49.99! So I was provided a RA Number and will be returning this product! We will see if I actually get the refund.

  • Feb 27, 2019

Said: pay 4.95 shipping for a free flashlight. Billed 49.99. Total scam!! refused to refund money even if i sent it back. I got 4 days ago. They said they had a delay in shipping so the "14 day trial period", was up. So much b.S.

RIP OFF

I thought I was completing a survey for my shopping experience with Amazon for a free gift, all I had to pay was shipping. I selected my gift of the tactical flashlight went to the next step it was another free gift just had to pay for shipping when I hit next it was another free gift I exec out of the site, never finished to the end, never gave my credit card information or shipping informtion. About a week later I received the two gifts which I was charged the shipping for, okay no problem. A week later Chase sent a text asking if I used the card for Flashlight Ventures for $49.99, responded no. Monday I received another text from Chase asking if I used it for $34.99 again responded no but they sent back that I responded too late so I called and was told that the charge was in process and I had to call the merchant to have it canceled. Called Flashlight Ventures and the women I spoke to said it was for the flashlight that was a 14 day trail told her I never completed the process of checking out so I don’t know how they got my info unless it was a fishing email. Told her I was getting a lawyer and going to sue if the charge was not reversed because they stole my information.

Thank God that I got this card Just for online purchases & only keep a small amount in it!

I had initially had ordered a lighter for $24.99 and got that product. However, the company continued to charge me every month for a useless magazine that they were sending me.

They did not make it clear during the first order that there would be recurring charges and especially did not make it clear that they would charge me 2499 for a stupid magazine.

  • Jan 30, 2019

Have had no purchase contact with this outfit. They have attempted to charge my credit card $89.92 on two consecutive months. Called them on two occasions and get double talk that hey have no record of charging my card.

  • Jan 29, 2019

Two consecutive months flashlight ventures have submitted charges against my expired credit card. Thanks to capital one the charges were rejected.

  • Jan 21, 2019

rip off

do not buy 4.95 flashlight or they will continue to charge you!

  • Jan 11, 2019

Starting September 27, 2018 a charge of $4.95 was taken out followed by $14.99 on October 11,2018; November 11,2018; December 11, 2018; and January 11,2019. Total of $64.91 that we don't have any clue why they are taking money from our account.

We have never heard of this company or authorized anything for them!!

  • Nov 20, 2018

Made a purchase last November 2017. They have continued to extract the payment for eleven months. Have contacted to only listen most annoying piano music and one line "comments." Left name. return number. No response. Contact Credit Card Company. No success yet. STOP the theft! Thank you.

  • Nov 17, 2018

Unauthorized charges appeared on my bank statement - each for $19.99 from FLASHLIGHT VENTURES- 1 on 10/15/18 and then a month later another one on 1114/18. I have never heard of this company, nor ordered or purchased any goods or services from them. Interestingly, the two charges displayed different zip codes for the same company. I'm disputing it with my bank.

  • Oct 24, 2018

I was looking at my bank statement and saw that flashlight Ventures took $24.99 from my account and I have never dealt with this company before ever I have not ever ordered anything from these people before

  • Oct 14, 2018

In checking my bank statement, I see an unrecognized charge of $14.99 to my account, paid to Flashlight Ventures, of Lakeland, FL. I have no memory of making any such charge, let alone for what the charge may be.

I searched the internet for information on the company, and came up empty. I have notified my CU that I do not recognize the charge. If they don't stop payment, at least they will refuse any further payments to this company.
