I received a phone call on 6/25/08 from a " sounds like " spelled Shaheed Bailey, asking to purchase " Caller Advantage " and " Essential Medical Solutions " for a FREE gas card worth $500.00 (as I live & breathe-QUOTED!) Packages would soon come via address mail. Never did Shaheed ask for cc info, stated HE KNEW IT ALREADY? Pleasant person, CA gas prices are RIDICULOUS! He caught me on a happy day!
Within a couple days, rec'd 2 separate envelopes with same address, one from TDMS (Essential Medical) PMB 204,2063 Main St., Oakley-CA. 94561-3302.2nd envelope was from CALLER ADVANTAGE (same address) as above. Yet not TDMS as sender, just PO box & address.
On 7/9/08 called 2 separate phone#s to cancel memberships, as it was a $50.00 gas card & NOT $500.cc statement charged $2.95 for each on 7/1/08, and though closed 7/9... WHY NO CREDIT REFUND PRIOR TO CLOSING STATEMENT DATE? Reason given: S & H fees, oh please!
Now for the SCAM. On 7/10/08 POST DATE - There is a $1.95 charge from a Company called " EZ1RATE " 800-923-8939. I never ordered nor received anything, so I called today and spoke to " MIKE " who stated that my 2 week free trial was up? I asked Mike what this Company offered, he shmoozed some kind of song & dance that " THEY CHARGED a $49.90 MONTHLY FEE to CC on 7/22/08 already!" And He would send to me a check " in the mail " for $31.90 within 7-10 business days. He would not refund the $1.95 on a PRODUCT NEVER ORDERED / RECEIVED either!? In hindsight, He mentioned affiliation with the above 2 Companies as " ALL FROM SAME MARKETING COMPANY "??
So, I called CC company which suggested to come in to Branch & file a FRAUD CLAIM. So irritated, I detest thieves, liars. My annoyance is not with Caller Advantage or Essential Medical Solutions, I bought them (stupid me) - YET EZ1RATE IS IN FOR A FIGHT!!
