Music purchase and subscription scam

I used BMGmusic for years and bout more than 50 CDs from them and then recently went back and found it was yourmusic.com. I updated my credit card and maybe put something in the shopping cart. I never got a CD and then started seeing a $6.99 charge each month.

The url was not clear and the phone number was listed. I called the credit card company and they also did not have a valid phone number, which you think would be enough to get them banned from that bank's processing engine.

I asked for the charges to be reversed and they said I had a subscription and had failed to add anything to my queue and was being charged a subscription fee. They said I could now pick some CDs and they would send. But I do not like being scammed.

I sent them this email:

I did not authorize this subscription. Please remove the subscription and the charges. I am disputing them at the credit card company. Your phone number is not on file with the credit card company and your contact information on my statement is incomplete at best. Remove the charges or I will file claims with the BBB and I will post at Yelp, Facebook, Twitter, and I will notify local newspapers and TV reporters about this program. I will set up a web site and am skilled at getting top rankings at Google and Yahoo to let others know about the problem.

And I received this reply:

Ok,

They just lost a 10-year customer who has spent more than $500. Bad business decision.
