I signed up for a free trial for a home business kit, knowing that I'd have to cancel in within 7 days. I put my credit card number in expecting a charge of $1.95.
One day later I recieved a phone call from this company saying that the charge of $1.95 never went through and could he please have my credit card number again. I said no, and that I'd changed my mind. Since this person said it never went through in the first place, I never had reason to think I needed to cancel it.
Lo and behold, my next credit card statement showed a charge of $1.95 AND $69.95! I immediately called the company and explained the phone call I recieved, only to be told that the person who called me was a telemarketer and has nothing to do with them. They said they would not refund me! All of this is extremely suspicious, as if the company has designed ways to ensure everyone is charged that $70 initially.
After numerous calls and messages to supervisors, the best I was able to get was a partial refund of $34.50. If this has happened to you, do not let it go!!! Be assertive and threaten to contact the Better Business Bureau. Constantly leave messages for supervisors or demand that you speak with them if they are available. A partial refund is better than no refund. Never do "business" with these scam artists!!
