This was suppose to be a an offer of employment, where I was to receive instructions of what my duties were to entale for the first 30 days, (I never received such information) instead, I got charged for so-called optional promotional cards for their product (a game board) at 49 cents a piece, asked if I wanted 2,000 or 4,000 and I would only pay 25.00 a month for these cards. After having my voice recorded with my name and address and understanding of working for them, they proceeded to charge my credit card a total of 980.00 I told them there was clearly a misunderstanding and cancelled with my credit card immediately, my credit card company told me that the company had to void the transaction, I called back and explained that I was unaware that they were charging me that much, he tried to explain that the minimum payment monthly on 980.00 is 25.00 and that if I worked well would be earning money in the meantime to pay off the rest, after 6 months they would refund my money. Well no thank you, I only have a credit limit of so much and that forced me to go nearly over my limit incurring charges. From what I understood to be a charge of 25.00-980.00 they refused to cancel. I wrote an email to have something in writing... Here is a copy:
Dear Nick/Mathew,
After careful thought, I have decided that the optional promotional cards is not the way that I prefer to go. I told Nick that I was not interested in any type of investment, and even a $25.00 charge to my credit card monthly is a charge that I am not in the position to make at this time. Regardless of reimbursements that are possible or not, it is something I am not willing to chance. I believe that a job is to be paid and not bought.
I believe in NAQ and how much of an asset I could be to the company, however, when I ran the modelling agency, we fronted our models the money for THEIR promotional composits and took it from their wages. I understand if this is not a risk you are willing to take.
Please cancel all charges to my credit card as soon as possible. I would like to be a part of NAQ but at no cost. If this is possible please contact me and we can discuss the unlimited promotional ideas to replace the optional promotional cards and continue on with the rest of the process. Otherwise, if it was only your intent to receive money for the cards I no longer wish to participate and wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Julie
They then offered me a first paycheck of 300.00 I declined because I wanted a full refund. They came back with an offer of 400 and the use of the promotional cards, or 600.00 and no promotional cards and then the rest after 6 months.in the meantime I was communicating with my credit card company from the first 3 minutes of the charge to see what was happening with the dispute department, and today they came back with a response that they cannot grant me a refund because they did not receive a copy of a fed ex saying I returned the merchandise. Well, I never received the merchandise of course, because I cancelled within 3 minutes of the initial call, or at least tried, so not only is my credit card charged 980.00 in which I will have finance charges, but I do not have promotional cards or the game in which they claimed I was receiving. Im beside myself with disgust, and dont think they should get away with this. All the while they claim to do everything first class. Well blackmailing employees to work for them, is not my idea of class. Please help!!!
