After I lost my job and my company shut down a few months ago, I filed for unemployment. One of the many things the state unemployment web-sites is connect you with options to find out about government grants. As I have been trying to go back to school I signed up for the "free" information on how to apply for grants that was to be sent to me by mail providing I pay the $2 shipping fee. I did and boy did I make a mistake. A few months later I notice a $79.86 charge from a company called ELITEPACK. When I called to find out what the charge was for the guy who answered the number first asked what number I was trying to reach and when I told him the first thing he said was "What is the amount you are being charged you want to dispute" I had not said anything about a charge or wanting to dispute it. Not only was the guy rude but he pretty much knew the company he was working for was ripping people off! I didn't even have to complain he knew what I was going to say before I said it. He told be he would remove the membership I never signed up for, but I canceled the card after reading how many people said they were told the same thing and the charges kept showing up month to month. Why are they allowed to exist, they are theifs? Why is this awful company attached to a government web-sites? Even more so, why the unemployment site? I already don't have any money... Thanks ELITEPACK for stealing my food money for the week. Looks like I'll be eating Ramen this Christmas!
