Bendaroos
Unauthorized billing

My daughter saved her money since Christmas so I could order her the Bendaroos she sees advertised on TV every day. When she had saved $19.99, I called the 800 number to place an order. I did not speak to a person but to a computer. Ordering seemed simple enough at first — I gave my credit card information and waited for a confirmation.

Instead I was lead through 35 minutes of sales pitches for all kinds of other products and for 'upgrades' to my order. I never received a confirmation number or the amount I would be charged. I could not go 'back' through the phone to cancel my order. I knew it was a scam before I even hung up the phone, but they already had my credit card information and there was no option to cancel and no ability to speak to a human being.

So, today I checked my credit card — I was charged $63.21! Now, I did receive two small boxes of Bendaroos, but there was no packing slip, no confirmation information, and no way to return the items enclosed. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company and will be in touch with the Better Business Bureau tomorrow. This is such a scam, and they're using children!
