My husband and I noticed an unfamiliar charge from IC*shipping.com. I called to question the charge and found out they had been charging our credit card $11.97 MONTHLY for more than 3 years. It originated with an online purchase from Shari's Berries for a Christmas gift for out-of-state relatives in 2009. I remember being offered the choice of a $9.99 shipping rebate or a subscription to Reader's Digest. I chose the shipping rebate. I kept the paperwork for 3 years but never saw the rebate. I did get 3 years' worth of Reader's Digest, so I chalked it up as a $9.99 loss.
Until yesterday, when my husband noticed the unusual charge, and upon investigation we found we had been fraudulently charged by this company for the last 3 years. I reported it to our credit card company, and they could only file a dispute for the last 7 charges. I did contact IC*SHIPPING.com, and they agreed to credit us for 12 charges, but that does not change the fact that they are using deceptive business practices.
