This company called me and told me I had won a $500 online shopping spree. Went through all the details of it. Then told me they were offering me 6 magazines at $3.85 a week for 60 months.
I admit I did listen to what they had to say about the magazine deal. I have done the discount magazine trial before with no problem. They said they would send out the package information to me in the morning.
They said they could setup my payments in a 20 month payment schedule instead of paying 3.85 a week. So I was to pay $49.90 a month for 20 months. They told me that they ask that the first payment be made electronically. I told them I did not want anything taken out of my account until I read the agreement they are sending me in the mail.
They assured me the first payment would not be taken out for 2 weeks. I spoke with 3 different people and I asked all 3 of them the same question. The person I talked to had a automated tape of questions that I had to answer. The last question was something like "Do we have permission to authorized withdrawl from your account" I said "NO" then the lady gets back on and offers me a cheaper monthly payment and I told her no I was not comfortable with this deal.
She continues to try and get me to authorize apyment and I point blank told her I do not want anything from them and they do not have my authorization to withdrawl any money from my account. She thanked me and told me to have a good evening then hung up.
I go online to check my bank account today and there it is they have taken $49.90 out of my account. I immediately tried to call the company and I can't get an answer. I have tried all the numbers they called me from. Only 1 of them rings and when it picks up nothing happens.
I hope they get the people who are doing this. It's a low down dirty shame that someone would pull this.
