Bidfuel
Harvested my VISA for shipping charges on a free eBay kit. Did not honor my refusal of their additional service of warehouse products. Charged my account three (3) times for goods and services I never received

I responded to an unsolicited email that offered a "Free eBay kit" to learn how to use the auction site. I had some items that could be sold from a recent household remodel.

The Asian lady that I talked to - she called me - was happy to send me the free kit, but I would have to pay the shipping charge. To do that I had to give her my VISA number.

Then the hard sales pitch began. This was really not eBay even thought they used the same Logo as eBay. They had a warehouse of goods that I could access to build my business. To build a business was not my intention. I declined the offer. But the lady would not take "no" for an answer. I was adamant about not wanting any thing else but the kit. I finally told her to forget the whole deal. I did not want to obligate myself to any other "opportunities".

A week or so later, I began getting solicitation calls from salesmen representing various types of Home Businesses. I told them I had not requested any HB info and that I lived in a state that had a "No call" list. The first salesmen said they were just answering my request for HomeBusiness info. Finally a Salesman answered some of my questions and I realized that the "Free eBay Kit" company had sold my contact info. I told him that my intentions were not to start a business. Those calls stopped.

When I received my December credit card bill, I discovered three (3) charges from Bidfuel. They totalled $42.82. My husband called the company and told them to cancel the charges and to refund my money. They claim to have a telephone recording of the transaction so he asked that a copy be sent to us. They promised to send an email canceling my warehouse "opportunities". Neither of these things have been done.

This is a scam, scam, scam!!!

I have filed a dispute claim with my Visa provider and told them to flag that company. I do not want them to accept anymore charges from them and they should reverse the charges to this company. I will not pay the charges.

I will be sending copies of my info to the state agencies involved.
