About 8 months ago I filled out an insert I found in a womens magazine stating that I would recieve a free pair of silkies stockings; so, curious I sent it in.
Then I started recieving bills for stockings that I did not order or want and was convieniently provided with an account that I was not aware of and did not authorize.
I have three pairs of unopened silkies that I never asked for and do not intend to use sitting on my desk in front of me now. I'm wondering what to do with them... If I were to pay the shipping and send them back will they bill me anyway or use the same stocking scam on some other unsuspecting consumer or do they have hoards of them in some hidden wharehouse somewhere?
At first I honestly did not take the HCI Direct/Silkies scam very serious (they are joking right?). Most recently I have recieved a final notice from them with some very threatening verbage about putting me in an unpleasant position with a National Collection Agency and jeopardizing my credit rating. With something I never ordered in the first place. Is'nt this some kind of mail fraud or something?
Have we strayed so far from good buisness practices that we allow these greedy rip off artists to set new lower standards for the future by letting them conduct this kind of buisness in our fair Country? I will no longer remain silent when I see companies or individuals taking unfair advantage of and robbing others! Sometime I'll tell you about the Baja Mexico car rental scam... That was pulled on my Visa card that was a $400 doozy!
Integrity... It's what works!
