Approximately Feburary 10m 2010 I returned a call to Cristy who called many, many times trying to reach me to tell me I won $1000. Bait and Switch comes in that yes I did indeed won the $1000 for a shopping spree. (web site http://www.selectyourgifts.com/). AND for the cost of shipping only I would be receiving five magazines. That is only $39.90 for 20 months and I would receive five magazines for five years. They would rust the order to me to sign and return. They agreed that I could pay by check. However when I checked my bank account they hammered a debit for $39.90 AND a debit for $4.95 from their affiliate United Benefits.
I received the order on the 13th. Reviewed it and decited that IF I were to purchase the magazines for five years on the newstand it would be cheaper than the $39.90 a month for 20 months. Although they said the order was not subject to cancellation, the agreement said otherwise. "Orders are not subject to cancellation after 5 days from the receipt of the agreement".
February 15 I was finally able to contact Amercian Publishers Service (AKA Magazines) and United Benefits and put a cancellation on both. They both told me the order would be cancelled. However APS said I would be charged $500. Plus for the cancellation.
Recourse? I sure hope so. The bank is reviewing my compliant to determine the validly and the reversal of both debits. I await their decision and will then be contacting an attorney.
