united states magazine service – scam DO NOT TRUST!?
A lady called me saying I was a final contestant for a million dollar drawing from using my visa credit card and that along with that, there were other offers such as a diamond watch and magazine subscription orders. She said I only had to pay for two subscriptions for a 4 year period. I’d given her my credit card info already when they called me back later and told me the price I was to pay. Over 40.00 a month for 16 months for 4 magazine subscriptions. That’s ridiculous so I told them I wanted to cancel the order and they refused me. They said they can make the payment shorter in amount but longer in time, but no cancellation can be made so I accepted. I was confused cause he was talking so fast. Then I went to look up the site and there were complaints all over. I tried to call and complain for refusing to cancel my order but no one picked up. So I cancelled my credit card and asked for a new one. What else do I need to do? I’m scared now of what i got myself into.
Never give out your credit card numbers over the phone, unless you really know who you are dealing with. If an offer sounds too good to be true, then, it probably is.
There are all kinds of telemarketing scams around these days. You should always be careful when dealing with these unsolicited phone calls. I have a caller display at home. I never answer any out of area or 800 numbers.
Call the credit card company and make sure they cancel those transactions. Legally, you have a few days cooling off period.
ACAI BERRY ONLINE SCAM!!! Don’t be fooled by the “free trial offer” – it’s NOT FREE at all!
