Virginia BCH VA Total Ripoff!

On 6/12 around noon I received a call from a number that had the same area code as mines. It was a lady that introduced herself as someone from the "Dreams Come True Sweepstakes." She was very nice and courteous and said that she was a new employee. She went on to explain that I was chosen to be entered into the sweepstakes because I owned a Visa or Mastercard. She said that the prizes that I was entered to win was $250,000 in cash, a trip to Australia, a shopping spree, and some other things that I can't remember. She also asked me a couple of questions about what my hobbies were, and went on giving me my address and asked me if it was correct. I though it was legit because she knew my address and phone number. She then transferred me to her supervisor who was a guy and he asked me a couple of more questions and explained that I had won a diamond watch. He also asked me which one would I prefer, a male watch or a female, and he made jokes about how he should have known I wasn't going to choose the male watch. He went ahead to explain the names of the magazines and that the magazine suscriptions were $4.99 a week. I thought to myself that $4.99 wasn't bad for 3 magazines. So when I agreed to it, he also told me that he would throw a free magazine in there for a total of $68.28 a month. He was talking so fast that I could barely get in my question on what if I wanted to cancel the suscription. He said that I would have 3 days to cancel but the only reason I would want to cancel is if my interests changed; he also told me that they would not charge me right away and that the magazines would take two days to be delivered. So I went ahead and gave him my card number and exp. Date on it not really thinking much of it.

Later that day when I went home I checked my account to see that they had already taken the money off my account. I have not received the magazines yet in the mail so I decided to do a little research on the International Reading Services to only find out that it is a ripoff. This company is not even registered with the BBB and I am so furious that I have been victimized by this "so called" company. I hope people read this so they can prevent being ripped off in the future. I called my bank and they said there's nothing they can do right now until the transaction has cleared because it is still pending. I am so sorry to see that many other people have been ripped off also. This is horrible and they need to be stopped! Once this transaction clears I will be cancelling my card right away and filing a dispute with my bank!
