1. A man with an accent called and said he was calling FROM my credit card company and had a great offer for me. They wanted to give me $200 in coupons to look at some discount package. They knew my credit card number, my address and they wanted my birthdate — which I refused to give them. The man with a heavy accent said it didn't matter. I was then overwhelmed with a spiel at 90 mph; I couldn't get a word in — and I couldn't understand. At the end I said "I'm not interested in that".
GMB charged my account for $1.00, then $29.90; then $19.00.
I called the company and got customer service, who told me I had to go online to cancel. The password did not work.
Then Personal Life Series charged my account for $1.50 and a few days later charged my account $59.98 (No address on website, no answer on phone)
Then Unlimited Blue Rate (a long distance company located in Barbados, but giving a Maryland address on credit card charge) charged my account for $49.90 Their web page has no physical address and the contact page has a missing digit in the phone number, so you can only contact them by email.
Then Essential Dental Solutions (has fake 800# on credit card charge) charged my account $2.95, then $49.95; then $29.95
I called GMB a second time and listened to my recorded tape. The girl agreed you couldn't understand the guy and she gave me a password for the website to go cancel — didn't work. I emailed the customer service email to cancel and it came back.
These were all triggered by the phone call with Galaxy Member Benefits.
