I entered a draw at a tradeshow and I "won" a VISA rip off scam, NOT a discounted vacation. A salesperson interrupted my life by contacting me, making it sound like I won the lottery. After giving him my visa #, he told me they were going to put $549.00 on it. Before giving him my visa #, he said it was $5.49! I was VERY clear about CANCELLING this transaction. Sounding pissed off, the advisor said, "Yeah, ok." and quickly hung up.
Of course I had a feeling it wasn't cancelled at all. So when I called my visa service they said to wait 2-3 business days. I was CAUGHT in a place where I couldn't change my VISA # b/c then they couldn't reverse the transaction, if they hadn't. So 3 days later I called Imperial majesty back and they told me "Well, it takes 3-4 business days, not including the weekend."
I've wasted so much of my valuable time waiting on hold on their phoneline, trying to get through while I'm at work and I STILL have this charge on my visa. Now it's the weekend, and I have to wait til monday again, and my credit card company is charging me interest on this transaction I did NOT want.
What, do they think they are going to FORCE me to go on their F-ing vacation? NO! They're just HOPING I'm not watching, or don't have time to in my busy life. They also make sure to call nearing the end of the month when credit cards are set up to automatically pay things off. Good thing I didn't have enough in my account.
