I was (sadly) enticed by a very "classy" looking ad online for language courses by "Pimsleur Approach". Stating that even the FBI uses their courses, their offer of $9.95 per course was (seemed) fabulous. I rarely place internet orders, but I ordered two courses: Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese at $9.95 each.
Then all Hell broke loose - Pimsleur began to withdraw $128.00 ($64.00 per course) from my Social Security debit card every month. And I was receiving in the mail a barrage of courses I NEVER ordered! I was hospitalized for quite some time and during that time the unwanted - unordered - packages built up. And when I tried to pay my bills I discovered the missing funds. I immediately called Pimsleur to report the mistake and I was told, too bad, you cannot return, and we will not refund.
I have never felt so helpless in my life. Social Security debits $764.00 a month to my card and that is all the money I have to live on. They said they make no exceptions regarding refunds - NO REFUNDS. The "Pimsleur" name and the name of those who promote them "Internet Sales, LLC" must go on a list of disreputable, immoral businesses.
