My Geneva Watch sent an email solicitation for a FREE watch. I accepted the offer which was described as a marketing action to publicise their new product line. Actually, there was an initial charge of $1.00 plus $4.99 S & H which was billed to my charge card. Later, the charge card account was charged $88.98 for the watch and $19.99 for sunglasses which were included both coming by US Mail. Later a second watch and sunglasses were received in the mail and the account was again charged $88.98. Upon calling them, I was told I agreed to three pages of terms and conditions which included buying one watch a month through their "Customer Club" until membership was cancelled. I cancelled this membership then but they said it was too late to return the watches and sunglasses for credit.
I honestly do not remember seeing the terms and conditions but am sure they had them there, probably on a secondary web page. The company's methods are definitely deceptive and unethical. Who would want to buy a new watch every month? And the original email said the watch was FREE, not $88.98
