First the Telephone rings... A heavily accented woman, whom I could not understand at all, calls and after speaking for a short time, she put me on with her Supervisor.
He starts to explain about 24 hour protect plus and privacy matters, neither of which I wanted. I stated that this sounds like a rip off to me, a fly by night operation and I want nothing to do with it, and then I hung up.
Then less than a half an hour a man named Mike Williams called back. He starts to try and explain that his business wasn't a fly by night business.
He said that I could even check the Better Business Bureau and he was affended to hear anything negative towards his business. I was shocked that a tele-marketer called back to try and persuade me to buy his product.
He went on to explain that I would recieve a 25 dollar gas card and a 25 dollar gift card to Walmart for only a 1.95 that would be charged to my credit card and then be taken off. I would need to call and cancel memberships within 30 days in order to get my gift cards.
He assured me that this was a win win situation and that I could not lose.
In the mail comes forms that I had to fill out and send in so that I could get the gift cards. Of course I had to pay postage.
Weeks later Mr Williams calls me back and says they sent them to the wrong P.O. Box so they canceled my gift cards.
He stated that I had to through the membership questions again for Budget Travel and Healthy Rewards, 24 hour protect plus. So I did because this would be the only way to get the gift cards. He said that I would get them the following Monday.
Meanwhile the originals appeared in my P.O. Box that had already been canceled.
I received membership paperwork stating that I had to be enrolled in Budget Travel in order to receive the 25.00 gas card. Which costs 24.95 a month!
Nothing mentioned about the 25.00 gift card to Walmart.
So in order to get 25.00 you have to pay 24.95 1.95 postage.
What a rip off.
Stay clear from this company.
