Last month I noticed a $9.00 charge to my account. I emailed my bank and told them I did not authorize it. She emailed me back and gave me the phone number to call, but they were closed.
So I looked it up and saw what it was. My sister-in-law has a book similar to what they are "selling," so I thought $9.00 for that book was cheap and I would just wait to receive it in the mail. It never came. Today I checked my bank statement and the $9.00 charge was there again.
I called my bank, and they said I would have to come in and file a complaint. My bank recommended paying $10.00 for a new card so the card number the internet rip-off people had would no longer work. I thought $10.00 would not be worth my time to replace it to save $8.00.
So I called the rewards book "seller" and was on hold 20 minutes, I kid you not. When I hung up, my caller ID said 25 minutes. I talked only 5 minutes, if that. I got on the line with a worker, and she told me that I approved the purchase and told me my email address, etc. She told me that they emailed me two times to warn me that the free trial month was over and they were going to start charging my bank account. I never got any emails.
I asked the lady on the phone why I would get myself into this. I do not print coupons on the computer. She said she would refund me $9.00 and I could still use the program for the rest of the month. I told her I never used it in the first place. I told her I was looking up their name on the computer and saw the reports on this site, and I told her there are so many bad things about your company on the computer that it is unreal, and that they are taking money out of my pocket that I need to feed my kids, pay bills, etc.
I told her I wanted to talk to someone higher than her, so she put me back on hold and came back and refunded me the two $9.00 payments and ended the account. She said that if I were to sign up again she would not refund my money, and I told her, trust me, I did not sign up in the first place and would never do it again.
The conclusion I came to was that I charged tickets from Ticketmaster for the carnival, and they offered me the free trial, and I signed up for the free trial. They said that they emailed me to warn me that they were going to charge my account, but I never got any emails or gave them my bank number, so they must have gotten my bank number from Ticketmaster somehow. They are giving Ticketmaster a bad name!
