A guy knocked on the door, introduce himself and said was making a survey about peoples careers. After I gave him the answer he asked me to look in a small booklet with the list of magazines, with corresponding points to it. He said that my pick will help him win a trip to europe. I told him that I did not have any money at the time and he said that they would take a post dated check. I told him that I didn't have any checks. He then asked if I had a debit or credit card. I told him that I did. He told me that there was a number that he could call that could take a post dated payment and I would have 3 days to cancel the order if it was not okay with my husband and he would still get the points. I said okay and he asked if he could use my phone.
He called and gave a young woman his ID # and and she confirmed the order for the magazines that we had discussed. When she said that the order was going to be almost $200.00 I told her never mind. I knew that my husband would not be okay with the purchase. She said that if I wanted him to get his points then we needed to complete the transaction and I could call right back and cancel. I told her that I could not do that. I never gave her my card information.
Almost 2 weeks later there was a charge from Tower of Power to my debit card. I never gave the girl my card information so the only logical conclusion is that while I was speaking with the girl, the young man that was standing by me took down the card information and processed the sale after he left my house. Now I can not find a number any where to call and dispute the charge, as I do not have a receipt for the transaction that I did not make.
