Things haven't been going quite as well for producer Joe Francis and his "Girls Gone Wild" crew. They were arrested recently on more than 21 criminal charges in Florida and consumer agencies and class-action lawyers are training their sites on the company. If you've had an experience like those described below, please let us know about it by using our consumer complaint form.

I received four unsolicited GGW DVDs with a debit card number most likely taken from an Internet purchase. I've already filed a claim with my bank but had to cancel my debit card number, which is a big inconvenience. For everyone else out there, a class action suit really needs to happen. This company should've gone down a long time ago, but apparently their scam is still happening.

I was charged over 36.00; I had to cancel my debit card which means pending bills will be late; I am without any debit card payment options for 5-7 business days until my new one arrives; I have the tedious task of changing all my online bills/accounts where I use my debit card; and there's the immense anger and frustration from getting scammed like this

I noticed a discrepancy with my CHILD SUPPORT debit mastercard available funds, and called customer service. I was informed that a charge of 74 was made to an unknown company. Three weeks later I received eight videos from GGW, TO MY JOB, and called them. I am awaiting my debit card people to get my money back. Not only did I NOT order that crap, but it was fraudulently sent to me using my son's money (child support). I'm stil trying to get the money back.

IT WAS MY SON'S CHILD SUPPORT MONEY!! I was going to sign him up for kids in college deep sea creatures class at the local college, something he was very excited about. I had to borrow the money to do that, which I hate, and I'm still waiting to get the money back.

I ordered some cologne off the internet about 10 months ago. There was something that said would you like a free girls gone wild dvd. So of course i said yes. I thought it was going to be a one time thing but every month since they have been sending me a dvd like clockwork and billing me right underneath my nose. I just noticed on my checking account they billed me 26.98 this month. I have requested my bank to send me all of my past activity to see if thats not the only charge. I doubt it is. Please i hope you can do something about this. I am going to the bank on tues to change my account so these charges will stop.

My bank account was charged for some Girls gone wild tapes that I did not order. I have filed a complaint with the local police dept. I have also had to cancel my debit card on my business account.

My card was charged with 9.99. That's not much, but it's the principle of the thing.

imagine the surprize of your old next door neighbor giving you a 'sorry we missed you' receipt from the postman. or the surprize that happens at the post office when you realise that your ex's son ordered internet bimbo dvd's, using your name and expects you to sign for it. or the wonderment of... who paid for this...maybe the lowlife had a credit card, also in my name, issued to him for special times, like now. sorry GGW your crap is on the way back via the US Postal Inspection Service and the spawned Fraud Investigations!

At the moment there seems to be no monetary issue to me. The Felon that made this occur will probably incur some legal fees.
