One night after a glass of wine, I was catching up on Facebook and got drawn into an ad for Wu-Yi tea... Next thing I was signing up for a free 30-day trial... And have now discovered that I have fallen prey to a scam. The company asks for the buyer's credit card to pay S/H, then enrolls them into a monthly subscription (in my case $69.87)... The catch: it's impossible to get through to cancel.
I have been trying to contact the company to cancel since placing my order (at least 5 times), but on each occasion they have told me the systems are down and to try back later. Today I got a recorded message saying they were closed due to heavy flooding in the Chicago area and to call back on Wednesday. I mailed a letter, but do not know if they will honor my cancellation request. My credit card was charged for shipping 9/10, my next step is to put a stop on any future charges through my bank.
I'm embarrassed to admit I fell for this, but don't want you or your friends to make the same mistake I did.
These are a few of the sites selling Wu-Yi Tea:

(This is the offer I stupidly responded to):

Here's more 'proof' these companies are pulling a fast one:

I have filed complaints with BBB, FTC, and Facebook. Please spread the word to your friends, hopefully no one else will get scammed. These companies must be stopped!
