I have a facebook account. Part of facebook is a game called mafia wars. The game has "offers" that earn the players reward points for use in the game. One of the offers said "Bella Sole/Danielle Janine Jewelry 9 dollars and FREE shipping. I clicked on the link, picked out a piece of jewelry for 9 dollars, and completed the form.
There were drop down boxes on the left to choose which piece you wanted, and a form for name and address on the right. It then clicked to the credit card entry page which still said 9 dollars plus free shipping. I have now received 2 pieces of jewelry from them in just a few days, so I looked at my online banking account and saw where they charged me 68 dollars 3 times!
I IMMEDIATELY called them, and it was obvious that the pesron on this phone fields this same kind of call daily. She said I had joined a "club". I told her I did not join a club. I have a college degree, I can read, and I did NOT join any club, especially a club that charges me 68 dollars every 2 days for cheap jewelry. She said that I had to read the terms of the offer before progressing, and it clearly states that it is a club.
I told her all I saw on the confirmation page was 9 dollars and free shipping. She then said that I am "scheduled" to receive more jewelry next week, since I did not put a preference of how often I wanted the shipments. I told her I did not want more shipments, and never saw any page about frequency. I told her I was going to report them to the BBB, the Illinois attorney general's office, and the FTC. She told me to go ahead, they will still get my money. And then she hung up on me.
