Friday September 26 I recevied a phone call from a company called IMC, Inc. A representative notified me that my name had been put into a sweepstakes and that I won a hand crafted Quartz watch and a FREE 4 year subscription to 3 magazines of my choice.
At first it seemed to be a good deal because the representative told me that all I had to do was make a one time payment of $4.66, She then proceeded to tell me that I had to speak with her supervisor and to put in a good word for her.
Apon speaking to her supervisor he began to act suspicious. He began to tell me all of my personal information such as where I lived, My full name, what type of debit card I have, and my debit card NUMBER. He began to then tell me that I have to pay for one magazine subscription, but for one month was $79.73. I then hung up the phone, I did not tell them they could bill me and I did not agree to anything.
After the conversation I checked my bank account and I had been charged. I notified my bank they labled the charge as fraud and I cancelled my card. I reported it too an Idenity Theft Unit.
I also called IMC, Inc. On Monday September 29 to cancel my account I kept calling them and it wouldnt' send my call all the way through and when it did I had got hung up on several times, then someone called me back and told me I had to actually speak to a supervisor. I still have yet to hear back from them. I had to call my bank and cancel my card and get a new one.
