This company called ABC (America's Best Companies) telemarketer me on my cell phone, which is registered on the Federal do-not-call list so no telemarketers should even call my cell phone, and they were very pushy and told me I would get a web advertising and discounts on all kinds of business services. So I gave them my credit card number (first mistake), which they required because after 30 days they would start charging $20 per month for their services.
Eventually after calls and much effort they gave me contact info for Staples so I could get discounts on Staples office products which ABC promised. I called the contact numerous times and was never able to actually get in contact with someone or get my discounts. I checked on the promised web advertising with ABC and they never actually provided any valuable web advertising, but within a day of giving ABC my email address I started to get junk emails.
This was about a week or two after I first got the ABC telemarketing call and gave my credit card number, so at this point I called ABC and cancelled my membership, according to the agreement I would never be charged if I cancelled in the first month.
Wrong! They fraudulently charged me $20 that month, and for the next 2 months. Totaling $60, I contacted them again the 3rd month to cancel again, but they kept charging me, I had to cancel my credit card and get a new credit card number to stop them from charging me. They would not return my emails on this matter, and I am having difficulty getting someone to refund the money.incidentally I have gotten numerous spam emails from ABC through all this. I don't expect to ever get my money back.
