I stupidly feel victim to a scam. On February 25 and 9:22 pm I received a "Restricted" call to my cell phone and stupidly I answered it. It was a company going by the name of Century Marketing. The guy on the phone told me that I was in the running for a drawing to win a large amount of money. I was like "ok money is good" so I listened to what he had to say and agreed to doing his offer. So I let this man talk me into signing up for some magazines and they told me that I would be receiving a free diamond watch.
Sounds pretty cool huh? Well its not. I let this man talk me into signing up for 6 magazines that are now going to cost me $69.16 every month for 15 months. The total value is going to cost me 1,037.40. To me that is a lot of money for some magazines. And here is the catch I have to uphold my contract for the full 15 months and can not cancel with out having to pay a lump some of money. Now why do I have to pay for something that I was scanned into in the first place and pay for something that I don't want now knowing that it is going to cost me that much money.
After talking to this one man I was transfered to another who was a "manager" and he went over the contract and everything with me. And wanted to know how the other man did and he wanted me to give and evaluation for the first man. So I did but in my mind through the conversation I kept telling myself to just hang the phone up and leave it alone that something is not right about this whole thing. But I never did and went along with it and now I am going to pay greatly for it.
The other thing that bugs me is these people were telling me that they were from Helena, Montana. Sounds reasonable but I am only 4 1/2 hours from Helena and this man was asking me about the weather and what not. Then a couple of weeks later I receive a confirmation letter in the mail and it came from New Jersey not Montana. On the letter it states at the bottom and these are the exact words, "This program involves neither a contract nor an extension of credit." So there is no contract, then I should be able to cancel but once again like I said before I can't without paying some major money for no reason. So I will let this go and let them have their $69.16 every month until I can figure out how to stop them from taking my money.
Sincerely,
Unhappy person
