A card statement line that reads MyPerfectResume, an email about a resume account, and a recruiter who points a candidate toward a paid resume service all call for the same first move. Each one has to be matched against a record the reader can check independently. Trademark registers list BOLD LIMITED, with an address on Laffan Street in Hamilton, Bermuda, as the owner of the MYPERFECTRESUME mark for online resume building software. That entry tells a reader who owns the name. It does not confirm that any single charge, message, or caller is genuine, so each contact needs its own comparison with the reader’s sign-up records and account history. A charge from a subscription the reader started on purpose and a charge nobody in the household recognizes lead to different next steps, and the records below help separate the two.
The Federal Trade Commission treats free trials and automatic renewals as an area where the terms shown at sign-up decide what a business may bill. Its consumer guidance tells shoppers to find the trial length and the cancellation deadline before entering a card number, and to keep proof of every cancellation request. This page sets those official steps beside the registry entries for the brand name and the myperfectresume.com domain. It also covers a separate problem from the FTC’s job scam warnings, where a supposed employer or placement firm asks a job seeker to pay before any hiring takes place. The FTC’s phishing advice applies as well, since fake account and payment warnings are among the messages it describes.
Who owns the MyPerfectResume brand and subscription name
IP Australia lists MYPERFECTRESUME as a registered and protected trade mark owned by BOLD LIMITED of H.P. House, 21 Laffan Street, Hamilton, Bermuda. The application was filed on March 19, 2024 in class 42, which covers online software for resume building and career services. A trademark entry identifies the legal owner of a brand name. It says nothing about whether a particular payment demand is authentic.
Bold Limited also holds a United States registration of the MY PERFECT RESUME mark, No. 4,780,241, dated July 28, 2015. That number appears in a decision from the Forum, a provider that rules on domain name complaints. The same decision describes Bold Limited as a provider of career planning, resume, and employment counseling services. Those two records give a reader a company name to compare against a receipt.
MyPerfectResume trial charges and sign-up records
The FTC advises anyone starting a free trial to look for two terms before agreeing: the length of the trial, and how and when to cancel to avoid a charge. For a MyPerfectResume charge that posts after a trial, those terms from the checkout screen or the confirmation email are the first thing to set against the posted amount and the billing date on the statement.
The same FTC guidance suggests writing the cancellation deadline on a calendar. It also warns about boxes that arrive already ticked, since a preselected box can give permission for later billing, and it tells shoppers to uncheck any box they do not agree with. Screenshots of the offer page and the final order summary give a fixed record that can be compared with the card statement weeks later.
MyPerfectResume cancellation and refund records
The FTC states plainly that businesses must make canceling simple and adds that this is the law. Its guidance asks consumers to follow the cancellation steps a company provides and to keep a copy of the cancellation request, along with notes about any conversation about canceling. For a MyPerfectResume subscription, that means saving any confirmation message received and writing down the date and time the request went out.
After cancelling, the FTC recommends watching the debit or credit card statement for further charges. If a charge appears without consent and the business will not return the money, the agency tells consumers to dispute it with the card company right away, a process it also calls a chargeback. The saved cancellation request, the trial terms, and the statement line together form the core of that dispute file.
MyPerfectResume subscription rules at the FTC
The FTC now refers to its 2024 amendments to the Negative Option Rule as the vacated 2024 Rule. Its rule page lists a Federal Register notice from February 12, 2026, titled as a revision of the rule to conform it to federal court decisions. A Commission business blog post from March 2026 describes the rule from 1973 as one that currently covers only pre-notification plans.
On March 11, 2026, the FTC announced an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on negative option marketing. The notice asks whether amendments are needed, including whether to adopt provisions of the vacated 2024 Rule or some other provisions, and comments were due on April 13, 2026. The same blog post lists the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act among the existing laws the agency has used in negative option enforcement.
MyPerfectResume login emails and the domain record
An email warning that a MyPerfectResume login is locked or that a payment failed fits a pattern described in the FTC’s phishing guidance. Scammers send messages that look like they come from a company the reader knows and claim a problem with an account or payment information. The FTC notes that legitimate companies do not send links asking customers to update payment details, and that familiar logos can be faked.
Verisign’s RDAP record shows myperfectresume.com was registered on January 2, 2010, runs to January 2, 2028, and lists MarkMonitor Inc. as registrar with delete, transfer, and update locks. Lookalike addresses have come up for this brand before. In a decision dated April 10, 2017, a Forum panelist ordered myperfectresume-cv.com transferred to Bold Limited after finding that it offered services in direct competition with the complainant.
MyPerfectResume fees requested by recruiters
A different risk appears when a supposed recruiter or employer tells a candidate to buy a resume package before an interview can go ahead. The FTC’s job scam guidance says honest employers, including the federal government, will never ask a person to pay to get a job. It also describes victims who paid for starter kits, so-called training, or certifications that turned out to be useless.
The agency’s advice on placement firms is short. If a firm asks for a fee, especially one that has to be paid in advance, the FTC says to walk away. A subscription a job seeker chose on their own is a separate matter from a payment demanded as a condition of hiring. Job scams can be reported to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and to the state attorney general’s office.
Steps after a doubtful MyPerfectResume email, call, or charge
Save the message, the sender address, any link, the amount, and the date before deleting anything. Note any caller’s number. Pull up the trial terms, the sign-up confirmation, and any cancellation request already sent. If a password went into a page reached through a link, change it by typing the known web address into the browser, then check the account’s billing details and saved payment card for changes.
For a charge that was never authorized or that posted after cancellation, ask the card issuer about a chargeback and send the saved cancellation request with it. Report the contact or the billing problem at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and to the state attorney general. A phishing email can go to [email protected]. When a recruiter demanded the resume fee, include the job posting, the recruiter’s name, and the payment instructions in each report.
