I replied to an ad for a home based business and authorized a charge of $2.97 to my bank debit card for a information kit. I was transferred to another web site (ICM) to create my own website;confused and mislead since the information kit was suppose to be mailed to me. I decided to NOT go forward with submitting any information on line until I recieved the information kit I just paid for and closed the webpage. Three days later my bank was charged $149.95 by ICM Websites. On May 24, I called ICM websites and was disconnected twice. When I finally spoke to someone, I was told that my three day trail, that I never knew about, was over the they would not refund the $149.95. I argued that I only signed up to recieve an information kit that had NOT been sent to me and they hung up on me. I called back and the same thing was repeated. I called my bank on May 25 and stopped payment disputing the charges of $149.95. On July 2, I was informed by my bank that the case was lost and I owed the $149.95. I contacted Jennifer as requested on usacomplaints.com and was told by her that I was not entitled to a refund since I filed a dispute with my bank and that I should try the program out. I went back on the account and put in my user name and password, that I never knew exsisted, but was provided on the document ICM sent to my bank, and it does NOT work. Again, I only authorized a charge of $2.97 and was completely taken advantage of by a misleading, fraudulent business and want the refund due to me of $149.95.
