The Hollywood Agency ACCESS
Complaint 134785 Details

I received an email offer from a company called Bloomspot for tickets to a Grammy premier through some company either called The Hollywood Agency or ACCESS. I am not certain of their real name. My teenage daughter was in the LA area with her best friend and her mother for treatment at the City of Hope for terminal Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I thought it would be uplifting for the girls to attend a fun event, so I bought the tickets for the, from my home in Tucson AZ. The evening before the event, my daughter was contacted and told that they needed the credit card number again so the girls could attend an event where alcohol was being served. My daughter explained that they were minors and could not drink alcohol. They were then told that they could not attend without providing the credit card number to him, even though I have already purchased the tickets through Bloomspot. She called me and I asked her if it was for verification. She was not certain. She provided the number and then for the next five months they continued to charge my card for a "membership" I did not request. It is now up to $375 and they will not stop charging me. I have no use for this "membership", as I have no interest in Hollywood and do not even live in California. I want the charges to stop and I want the money they stole from me returned. I also want others to be warned about this company and the scam. I have seen other complaints about this fraud on the Internet, yet they appear to continue to promote this scam through places like Groupon. I am in the process of warning others about this scam.
