I fell for the FREE credit report scam. I intended to cancel "subscription" after getting FREE report. Upon hiitting the Submit button nothing happened. NOTHING! I assumed it didn't go through as I NEVER got a confirmation email or even post submittal link to their website. As far as I knew the website designer had a problem with the order form and probably lost a few here and there.
I never heard another peep out of these people until, sure enough, 30 days later my checking account is debited $79.95! For nothing! No FREE report, no indication that they even got the submittal, and certainly no reference to any opportunity to cancel.
I called my bank and they're working on it. I called CIC and she said I'd be reimbursed in "7 to 10 days"!
Clearly this company is using our money to gain interest, at the very least. Those who don't catch it are getting nipped on a monthly, and probably yearly, basis.
I wonder if California's doing anything about these people? And they're probably many more companies just like this one out there...
