Official Notice: Unrecognized Charges
Entity Disambiguation & Search Clarification
Are you here because you saw a charge on your bank statement from "HPO Los Angeles" (or a similar variation)?
We Did Not Charge You
HPO.Center (Helping People Out) is a specialized Web Development and Digital Engineering firm located in Glendora, California.
We do not process random consumer charges, and we are NOT AFFILIATED with the entity showing up on your credit card statement.
Why did Google send you to us?
It is understandably frustrating to be charged by an unknown company. When people see "HPO" on their statement, they immediately search Google for answers.
Here is the technical reality: The company that charged you does not have a real website or a digital footprint. Because our firm builds elite, high-performance Search Engine Optimization (SEO) infrastructure, HPO.Center dominates the #1 spot on Google for that acronym.
When you searched for the company on your statement, Google's algorithm simply pointed you to the most authoritative "HPO" website on the internet—which happens to be our Command Center.
What you should do next
- Contact your bank or credit card provider immediately. Explain that you do not recognize the charge and request a dispute.
- Request a merchant block. Your bank has the exact merchant ID of the company that charged you and can block them from making future transactions.
- Please understand we cannot issue refunds. Because we are a completely separate entity, we do not have access to your transaction data, credit card numbers, or the offending merchant's payment gateway.
We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing and hope your bank resolves the unauthorized charge swiftly.
