Star Communications called me in December and after several times of promising that the only amount to be taken out of my checking account would be $4.95 for a package of half price TV and other items which were attached to a $500 shopping spree. The representative went through his whole presentation and when I did not want to give my account number out he assured me that it was only $4.95 until I had the "package" and decided whether I wanted to keep it
.
This representative even went on to argue that there was no way he or anyone else could take money out of my account without my giving him a check number. I even hung up on him once and he called me back. I finally agreed to go ahead with it and of course here I am, on usacomplaints.com.
I called them a few days later when there were not one but two checks of $4.95 and one of $119.90 taken out of my account. I immediately closed the account as well. When I called them they told me that they could not put the money back in my account they way they took it out but would have to send me checks by mail. Of course I did not receive them in the 3 to 4 weeks they promised.
I again called and called every week for 5 weeks in a row but each week was promised that I would have it by the next week. However on the fifth week when I tried to call and what a suprise! The phone numbers didn't work any more. They had given me three seperate numbers and I only got a person at the third one. This was a tele-check company but of course they couldn't do anything for me because they dealt with people who's checks had been returned unpaid. I hope that these criminals are caught and prosecuted.
