Complaint / Review
Magic Jack
Unauthorized charges

Back in July of this year I heard of magic jack and thought hey I travel alot this may be worth having. I should have listened to my wife when she said it was too good to be true. First they charged my credit card right after I signed up for the 30 day free trail, and it took 2 weeks for them to take the charge off. 2 weeks later after the 30 days they took $46, no problem it seemed to working fine.

Just last week 2 weeks after I purchased it it started acting up, people could hear me but I could not hear them. I tried all their upgrades and this and thats but nothing worked. "Victoria" said that they would replace it at no cost to me as long as they got the old one back within 2 weeks, with an rma number. She told me that I would get an email within 24 hours and it would contain the rma number. All I got in my email was another purchase confirmation. I chatted with them again and asked for the rma number and that person said they would resend it and confirmed that I would not be charged for the replacement. (transcript to follow)

As of today I still have not gotten an rma number, I have reported them to my bank for fraud. My bank but a hold on my account to see if they would charge me for the second one, if they did it would show insufficient funds that way they could not get the money, so just tonight I chatted with them again and here is how that went. Enjoy I know you will.

Info: You are now chatting with 'Jeaniza'
Jeaniza: Hello, how may I help you?
David: for the 3rd time i need an rma number for order dt00745927 victoria did troubleshooting and determined that it was defective, i was told that i would get an email with the rma number by 3 different people but still have not got it
David: i am supposed to be getting a replacement since it was paid for not even a month ago
Jeaniza: Hi, David.
David: i just want an rma number why can't you just give me one why have i been lied too i just want to ship this old one back to you so i dont get charged for the replacement
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [email protected] at the end of your chat.
Jeaniza: Please be informed that your replacement order is not yet shipped due to the following reasons: Your bank did not give us an authorization to put a hold status from that order, or yo have an insufficient amount for your order.
David: i should not be being charged for the replacent
David: i was told and i have the transcript to prove it
David: that i would not be charged
David: this is fraud
David: i was told that my card in no way would be charged
Jeaniza: Please be informed that we need to put a hold status amount for that replacement, once you return the defective device, we will automatically release the hold amount.
David: oh no that is not what i was told
David: do not play that game
David: i think i need to report you to the ohio attorney general for fraud
David: i have the transcripts to prove that i was told my card in no way shape or form would be charged
David: because of this one being defective
David: please tell me why you charged my card without my consent
Jeaniza: I apologize for that, we will put a hold status for the replacement device so that we can make assure that you will return the defective device.
David: i was never told that therefore i can now report you for fraud
David: i never authorized you to charged my card for the replacement
Jeaniza: Okay.
David: the only reason my bank refused you was because they have a copy of the transcript where i was told i would not be charged so if they caught you trying to charge my card they would deny it
Jeaniza: But please be informed that we are doing that so that transaction will go through.

Now doesn't that contradict what the first rep said about not being charged. I love my bank for helping out. My next stop is the BBB and the Ohio Atterny General. I am am personally sorry that people have to go through this like I have. Good luck with these people.
