I was called up by this company and apparently, I was a preferred customer (although I had never had any prior dealings with them). I sat through the telemarketer speach and decided to go along with it and sign up for the 5 magazine multi-year subscriptions.
Things are all well, I receive my first charge for the service and the magazines should start coming within a few months. Then, I receive another call. This call is for specials that I can be signed up for with other companies, 3 separate deals that I specifically say that I am not interested in and do NOT want to be signed up for.
So I thought the deal was closed until I receive 3 separate charges on my credit card from each of the 3 companies for 3.95,3.95, and 4.95 for shipping costs. The items shipped turn out to be my membership forms for the 3 specials, a few sheets of paper packaged into an envelope that I paid 3.95 for.
Then I have to unsubscribe to each deal within 30 days or start paying normal membership fees. Did I mention that that I was out of town for 27 days when I was called. I was quite upset to come back home to that. No should always mean No. Do not sign me up for something I have to pay for when I specifically ask to not be signed up.
