I received a "Special Offer" for a course in "Selling on e-bay" from Derek Gehl, owner of Marketing Tips.com on August 29. It was a "One Time Only" for a select few at the price of $9.95 plus shipping. They charged my credit card $25.18 ($15.23 for shipping?). I received a binder and some CDs that were glued into a cardboard case and were not usable. On September 24 they charged my card another $98.50 and on October 1 charged another $196.01.
My bank manager called them on my behalf and Ms Stacey Melquist, Customer Relations Lead, agreed to refund my money if I returned the package which I did. They refunded $98.50
I have received e-mail from Ms Melquist and also from Gavin Burlingame and Brigid Madera all telling me I have to wait in line for the $196.01 (which tells me that I am not the only one to be ripped off). They said it would take 15-20 days. I'm still waiting.
They also said the initial $25.18 is not refundable.
