A credit card charge of $39.95 appeared on my bank statement with a transaction date of 12/12 and I immediately called the 888 number. The answerer indicated they are a call center named 24/7 Support and provide support for "1000's" of companies. After providing the last 6 digits on my credit card, they pulled up my account and told me it was a subscription charge to LifeStyleDealsNow.com, a company I had never heard of nor subscribed with. The CSR then told me they would cancel my subscription (of which I didn't know I had) and I wouldn't receive any further charges, but they were not authorized to cancel the current charge. Unhappily I hung up and looked up LifeStyleDealsNow.com and found a significant number of complaints on scams. I called the customer service number on the website and again got this 24/7 support outfit. I then sternly insisted that the $39.95 was an unauthorized charge and demanded a refund immediately. "James" told me he would reverse the charge and a credit would appear in 7-10 days. I demanded a confirmation number, which he provided, but also wanted a confirmation emailed to me. He said he had my email address... Which he read off which was totally wrong and then I provided him my email address. He said he would email the confirmation of my refund which I have not yet received and quite frankly, don't believe I will. I seriously doubt I'll receive a refund on my credit card either. I will be contacting my bank and having them cancel my card and reissue a new number as I don't trust this outfit to be legitimate at all. What a total rip-off and I'm pissed. This cost me $40. And a bunch of aggrevation including having a new credit card issued. Beware!
