In approx. Nov. 2010 I recvd a call stating i won a 1,000 shopping spree. Obviously
Common sense dictates, that whensumthing sounds 2 good 2 b true, it ususally is.
The catch was - I had 2 buy sum mags. That's the bait & switch mentioned above.
I thought of ordering them 4 a friend who owns a salon in FL. They said the offer
Detailswould come in the mail, but I had 2 give my cc# 1st. Bad mistake.
I asked myfriend if she needed, mags, & she said, no & advised me it sounded like a
Scam. If hindsight is usually 20-20, in this case it was. When the certificate came
Inthe mail, I did not send it in as required, nor specify mags 2 b sent. I figured not
Re-sponding 2 the offer was sufficient 4 them 2 conclude I wasn't interested. Then
Arbitrary mags started coming in the mail. At 1st I thought they were xtra copies
Sent 4 free 2 get me to reconsider. Then the calls started, saying I owed money.
I asked, Do u really xpect me 2 pay 4 mags I never ordered... The response was...
They're "pre-selected, & prepaid by us." I said, " well forget it: I never ordered them,
I don't want them, & I'm not paying 4 them." Then the rep say's, "we have u on
Tape ordering them." As if I was 2 take their word as gospel. So I said - "send me
The transcripts 4 my Atty." And cancelled my CC. I havesince retained a Corporate
Litigation Lawyer, & have sent a letter to Amer. Pub. Svc 2 cease& desist all CMA
With me under theFederal Statute: FAIR DEBT COLLECTIONPRACTICES ACT, and 2
Direct any futher communications 2 my Attorney.
