Ordered "free" book and CD from 55money.com. Could not find any mention that additional merchandise would be shipped but they sent me 8 more CDs along with notice they would bill my credit card for $99.90 in 30 days if they weren't returned.
Called their 877 number to attempt to return them and as soon as I said I wanted to schedule a return was put on endless hold.
I called again and was again put on hold for several minutes after which I was offered a 25% discount to $74.90 if I'd keep the unsolicited CDs. I refused. It took nearly 20 minutes to get a return authorization number and the address where to send the package after which they offered all 8 CDs to me for a one-time charge of $14.90. Since the cost of driving 16 miles round trip to the post off plus the cost of a "crush proof conatiner", postage, insurance, and delivery confirmation would come close to that amount I agreed. Having seen how these folks do business I would NEVER want to be associated with them in any way!!! If you are tempted to order Berman's "free" book and CD my advise is DON'T!
