Here is how Pedi Paws gets your authorization to send the 8.25 check to your home. When ordering online, there is a box that is already checked off that says, Receive order status updates and offers from Telebrands. The checks come from Telebrands. When deposited at your bank, you are automatically enrolled in programs and charged 150 (approximately) using your credit card information that is on file with Pedi Paws. Now why would our credit card need to be on file with Pedi Paws? It's not like we are going to reorder that useless nail trimmer again.

Beware of any checks for 8.25 from Pedi Paws as it is a scam. When depositing the check, you are automatically enrolled in a warranty or ID Theft Program that costs around 150. Pedi Paws hopes you think its the rebate check you were expecting and rush to the bank to deposit it. Then the warranty program information mailed to my home looked like junk mail and I almost threw it out. Fortunately, it was a 30-Day Trial Membership and I was able to cancel it in time.

I could only cancel over the phone and they would not send me anything in writing. So, I emailed the company confirming the cancellation. I will keep resending the email. I then received a second 8.25 check for ID Theft 149.99, but plan to return the check to Pedi Paws with a few choice words.

I called Pedi Paws to have my name removed from their "Pedi Paws Valued Customers" list. So everyone in my home is on PEDI PAWS CHECK ALERT. This was a very traumatic experience for me and for my dog. He runs when he hears or sees Pedi-Paws. I wish I would have done the same.

I ordered one PediPaws and received three over the course of several weeks. I returned them and finally received a credit HOWEVER, I then noticed I was being billed monthly for something I did not recogonize. I called the # on my Visa and was told this was a service offered by PediPaws.

NOW I am receiving almost weekly checks from PediPaws.The information attached to the check it reads: P.Paws values your relationship and from time to time will introduce you to valuable services. So P.Paws asked ID Secure, and unaffiliated co., to offer you indenity fraud protection......"They sound like a bunch of scam artists. The price of the PediPaws was outrageous compared to the price they are now selling for at Target (10.00)

I too purchased the nail trimmer, which is ridiculous and have continually received these checks for different amounts. One I cashed, then found myself owing something and I got that handled. Just three days ago, I get a bill for 129.99 to a Shoppers Advantage (Hah) and it was on a credit card I RARELY use. I am not certain as to how they obtained that number, but I called the card holder, they are checking into it and also called the phone number for Shoppers Advantage. They apologized, told me it was due to pedipaws and said they would remove the entire charge. Who knows? I have a cancellation code and have thus shredded the card they billed and have told the card holder I was no longer using their card. How can so many people be duped by this company? It needs to stop!

These people keep sending me checks which if cashed obligate me for services which I do not want or need. Fortunately I read the fine print on the back of the check. I consider the practice employed by pedipaws to border fraud if it is not in fact fraud. They are very careful not to permit one to contact them via their website because if they did they would certainly be bombarded with e-mails.

Christmas I bought 3 Pedipaws for gifts by phone using my credit card. A couple of months later I received a rebate check for 8.25. I did not know what it was for so read every word on it and hidden in very small print was a statement that if you endorsed it you would be signing up for Buyers Advantatge. I tore it up and threw it away. Now on June 29th without Authorization Buyers Advantage stole 139.99 from my bank acct. I have called them and got a partial refund after 7days on July 6th. I then called them again and told them I wanted the full amount, I did not sign anything, and this was not a legal withdrawal and I was filing a complaint through my Credit Union, the Attorney General's Office, The local Sheriff, and now I am writing this.

I purchased a pedipaws and a pet shedder with my credit/bank card. I received the pedipaws but not the shedder. 10 days later, pedipaws called me with an offer to ship me jewelry free for 10 days, afterward my card would be charged. I declined the offer and asked about the shedder I had not received. A few days later, I received a check for 8.25, a refund for the shedder.

Each month thereafter, I rcvd a check for 8.25 but they were offers for other services and if cashed, I would be charged for a service. I declined and threw the checks away. On 6/11/09 my card was charged 139.99 for Identity Theft services I did not purchase. I disputed the charge and called the company and rcvd a cancellation number. The charge was removed. On 6/12/09 I was charged again for 139.99 by the same company. The Pedipaws was a scam to get my credit/bank card number and sign me up for services I did not want, use or authorize!The company says it takes 10 days to cancel which gives them time to float the money and earn interest on it. This is fraud.

I recieved checks in the mail that said REBATE CHECK in big bold letters for a product that I purchased. I thought nothing of it and really just thought it was a rebate check. About a month after i cashed the check I had a debt in my account that I did not autherize for 139.99 for ID secure. I stopped payment of this check but, I was charged a fee to stop this payment and now i have to go to my bank to disbute the fee.

William of Phoenix, AZ June 2, 2009

I am one of many people who purchased the PediPaws pet nail trimmers. A check for 8.25 shows up in the mail that both my wife and I remember as saying it was a rebate from PediPaws. Made sense...we bought 2 units online late in 2008. So, we cashed it. Then the charge for 139.99 shows up on my charge card for identity theft protection. Yep, we were tricked. It was a good one too. It's like picking your pocket while you're looking. And all probably legal too.

I purchased 3 Pedi Paws in 2008, (which are real garbage, by the way), and a few months later, I received a refund check from Pedi Paws for 8 and change. I assumed I had overpaid for shipping or something, so i signed the check and deposited it, thinking nothing of it. Last week, I noticed a charge on my bank account for 139.99. It stated that the charge came from TLG ID Secure. Neither me nor my husband remembered ordering anything, so I called my bank and they told me I needed to fill out an affidavit so they could investigate.

Tomorrow I will get to the bank to fill out the form, but meanwhile, I did a search on the Internet for TLG ID Secure, and was AMAZED that I received pages and pages of FRAUD statements about this company. I was able to put 2 and 2 together and realize that it was that Pedi Paws check that started the ball rolling.

I called TLG and they do not even have me as a customer, so I now need to fax them a letter requesting a refund with proof from my bank. I also called Pedi Paws and they told me they didn't know what I was talking about. Something needs to be done here. This is out and out FRAUD. These companies need to be shut down. They are victimizing innocent non-suspecting people!! How are they getting away with this?
