On the single occasion in my 48 years that I ordered a product advertised on a TV commercial, as of today, I have now paid $482.90 for a pint of "Ready Strip Safer Paint & Varnish Remover".in retrospect, succumbing to the slick advertising was a terrible omen of things to come&it took me 10 minutes on the phone to explain how all I wanted was the "back to nature" paint stripper and not to join some dubious reward club. I even remember being given the cancellation number for the club I never joined. I stuck it in my daytimer, where it probably stayed for a good year or so, while I was recovering from the near fatal car crash that came shortly after, before the damn Ready Strip ever arrived at my door.
Now, 22 months, a couple of broken vertebrae and multiple surgeries later, I am feeling up to reorienting myself to our personal finances. My husband showed me my credit card bill, casually asking me about the "at home rewards" charge of $21.95 that has been showing up every month. HUH?
It is hard for me to believe that this kind of unadulterated theft looms behind the smiling, all American faces beaming forth from this scam artist website. I am prepared to be "at home rewards" all American nightmare. Anyone care to join me in a class action suit?
