I received an email from 'Justin Blake' offering a free meditation CD for the cost of shipping only ($9.95 from). I had heard of binaural beats and was curious, so I sent for the CD. I listened, was unimpressed, and thought nothing more of it... UNTIL I received 2 more CDs a month later and was billed $39.95. This one was marked 'Phase 1, month 1' and was obviously part of a series (of at least 10 I have subsequently discovered).
There was absolutely nothing on the 'free offer' page that indicated that further CDs would be sent, nor was there anything in the sparse paperwork accompanying the initial CD. It is now clear (especially having read other posts here about 'Justin Blake') that this company will simply keep billing my card despite having no authorisation to do so, until it is stopped.
I have repeatedly tried to cancel via email, but received no response at all, and have now received yet another crappy CD and been billed $39.95 again. I contacted my credit card company last month to tell them about the situation, and have now started the chargeback process. Apparently I need to fill in some forms, and the most recent payment will then be clawed back together with some charges imposed by the card co.
I can only repeat what others have said about this online scam artist - DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES give him (if he actually exists) or his various companies and partners your card details - they WILL be abused.
