Just received two emails from this company, about services that have nothing to do with me. One was a receipt and the other was a refund. Emailed Epoch to let them know it isn't me. Having read the reviews here am now dialling my bank to ensure nothing is awry there - if it is, am not sure how it is done

I just received 4 fraudulent charges from this site. I never lost my credit card and had it on me when these charges showed up. I don't know how they do it, but they seem to allow merchants who are vulnerable to them. They are now in dispute. They don't do enough to prevent the them from using stolen credit cards.

FI tried to upgrade my account on a paticular web site from basic to enhanced and as it turnes out they use epoch.com for there CC proccesing. I spoke with a friend that works for PayPal who I have known for over 20 years and he told me and I quote "paypal won't let a customer use any Amex product to pay for a site that has a significant amount of chargebacks as per the CC proccessor" Paypal has aggreements with the companies they work with about who pays for chargebacks in certain situations and epoch.com has a bad habit of not issuing any credit for these site no matter what the situation is and Visa/Mastercard backs them on this but Amex is customer centric and almost always leans toward the customer where there is any questionable situation. There support is some guy who doesnt give a poo and basicall said as much. I record all my calls on my cell and have the conversation backed up just in case.

So thats why I can't use my Paypal Smart Connect on this one site I frequent. Paypal is saying screw em for too many chargebacks. Of course that doesn't explain why Epoch is declining my Debit Card also.

Your one-star reviews don't pertain to Epoch.com. Epoch's site couldn't be any easier to use, a content rating doesn't really apply, and as for value for money... epoch doesn't sell anything. They are an Internet Payment Service Provider. -- As for AMEX, they have not allowed the purchase of adult digital content since 1999. I know, I wrote a press release at the time. -- Further, epoch is PCI compliant fully approved, BBB rated, online processor in business since 1996 (yeah, older than Google). I think they know what they're doing. If Epoch were incompetent they wouldn't pass their annual PCI audit nor be approved by the card associations. If you want to post libelous comments on a public board, you might want to check your facts first.

A couple weeks ago. I signed up for an MMO. The MMO uses Epoch as they payment handler for their subscription service. Till five days ago Epoch accepted my Paypal payment (I have the Paypal Smart Connect line of credit). Then suddenly they started declining the payment. When I contact them today they told me to make sure there was sufficient funds. I still have funds available. Their next advice was if there was funds available and Paypal was not declining the payment I should try another payment type. Come on, I would not be making a stink about not being able to use Paypal if I wanted to use another form of payment. I use my Smart Connect line of credit for these things so I don't have to give the company my credit or debit card information. Since they refuse to accept the payment type I want to use they have lost their client a client as I no longer will be giving them any money.

This EPOCH.COM has taken money from my account without my consent!!!! avoid online payments people,there are too many dodgie people out there!!

Against my better judgement I used the service for a payment to an adult site brazzers, read the t & c and cancelled any further payments with no issues. 2 weeks later I have 1k of fraud on my credit card. The card was brand only recently changed and not used for anything apart from amazon. Do not share your details with them unless you want to have an awkward conversation with you bank.

This company has been charging without my consent for a few months. Support numbers don't connect. This is sickening, I have to cancel my card. Avoid, avoid!

Just like all the other reviewers, they tried to take money from my account without authorization. Very shady! Luckily my CC company is onto this and declines to pay them. Very bad company.

Avoid this company!!! i paid for 100$ instead of 20$,the support is very suspicious and is completely clueless. Be careful!

went to cancel was given option of free 7 days then a one time month charge. Instead got hit with a $149 charge. Be very careful and avoid them , not honest in their approach. They are deceptive in one thing , be deceptive and fraudulently pulling money out of your account.

Your complaint is not with Epoch. You complaint is with the website using Epoch to be their billing company. Epoch emails you a receipt that fully details the terms of your purchase and the terms are also always clearly stated on the purchase form. It's not Epoch you have a problem with.
You can find out what this charge was for by contacting their support. They are available 24/7/364.

My MasterCard credit card works well with ccbill, paypal where I've tried so far, but it fails on rotten epoch. Their support chat is for nothing, they have no clue and didn't help me.

Sometimes your credit card issuer will not allow transaction. One of my cards won't allow me to send cash via Western Union as an example.
Written on: 29/05/2015
That is not always the case. I myself have a line of credit through Paypal that I use so I don't have to give businesses such as Epoch my debit card information.
Till about a week ago, Epoch accepted my payment from Paypal. Now it is declined by them (Paypal says that Epoch cancelled the payment, while Epoch says it was declined).
This is not on the credit issuer end, in my case Paypal, this is on Epoch's end.

This company clearly states that they will not charge you at all and there are no hidden fees but when you put your cc info in to verify your age... they will charge you $3.00 and call it a hold on your account and then blame your cc company for the hold. When ask how long they will hold my money, they states that they do not know and to contact my cc company. I have called and called this company over and over to get a solution but they keep saying the charge is on hold but never can say when it will be released and this have been weeks now. Please be aware and DO NOT use this company!!! I even contacted the BBB.

Subscribed to a dating service and was charged for two services. Practices are highly deceiving. Very close temporal relationship between signing up and immediately cancelling these services (I immediately suspected the service was fraudulent) and fraudulent charges amounting to approximately $1000 on my credit card. Interesting right??!! I had to cancel my card and have it reissued.

Two times they have taken money out of my son's account. Unable to contact any customer service so closing account. This company and its affiliates are bad. Would not recommend anyone use this company and I will contact the BBB. Bottom line they suck

I was very disappointed with epoch chat represented. I ask Polite about a satiation and this person just close the chat box on my face. He was Not Able to deal with my situation. I deal always with ccbill. I have never had any problem with ccbill. Be Alert with Epoch .I am not giving no stars for them.

Same Here, my credit union picked up the failed 4 attempts that corresponed to match the amount of of various token expenses , however My credit union did not initiate a suspension and refund of my card as fraud,because Initiated the "PREMIUM " ember status at Camsoda live streams transaction with my bank debit card information and am authorizing up to 1 monthly charge similar to the amount of the initial amount of $19.99. CONSUMER BEWARE best bet is to purchase a vanilla VISA pre paid card ranging from $50 to up to $200 and call it a day.
