I was scanning my email one day, and saw the subject "get $1000 dollars of free grocery coupons"
I was bored, and interested, so I opened it... I went to a website - I can't remember what is was now and began filling out a form to get my free coupons.
I know it was stupid, but I filled out a form with my personal information. I clicked on "next" and went to the second page.
There it said to fill out this survey about products that I used in my home. I started to fill them out, then became bored and clicked off the page, never thinking of it again.
Then my phone bill arrived. I saw that it was more than usual, it is always the same amount because I use my cell for long distance, and have no added features. I studied it, and saw that I was being charged for an international voice-mail service. WTF?
I said to my self, and immediatly went to the phone to call the number listed there under INTEGRETEL. I was angry, and became angrier while I talked to the girl who answered on the other end.
I never ordered international voice mail, I never even heard of Integretel, and yet she said that I did, I filled out the form and ordered the voice mail, and that I was sent email confirming the agreement and had a chance to discontinue the services.
Well, of course I never opened the email because I had never heard of integretel, it was just junk mail like all the rest.
Well I argued with her and tried to reason with her and tried to cancel the voicemail she said I could not, I was past the 72 hour window and she hung up on me. I called the phone company, they took it off my bill, and I will call again on Monday and I WILL resolve this!!! This was a SCAM and nothing but a scam, a dirty little scam, and I will not be a victim!!!
