Called with a sweepstakes winner announcement. Offered a package of 7 magazines over 60 months for $16 a month. Would not send information first / bill through mail, only would take credit card details over the phone.
They tried to mess with the wrong people this time! When my husband and I told them who we were they about wet themselves....
I was offered a $1000 shopping spree online if I ordered 3 magazines a week for 60 months. I called back and asked for the 'agent' who called me just two minutes prior - and she was suddenly gone. I had a new 'agent' talk with me who then proceeded to transfer my call to a manager. I checked the BBB and they had a "F" rating. Also, their website was "under construction". I asked who gave them my information and they said that either Visa or Master-card did. I asked if I could have a contract to to have my lawyer review they said that they don't mail things out since that would raise costs to them.
When I asked for any type of document to be reviewed by my lawyer and they refused. I knew 100% that this was a SCAM!
i fell for this scam and of course i feel sooo stupid. i had to change my account number. i called this company back and asked for a cancellation number they said you can't cancel your order. how cant you cancel it? and she told me that i will have bad credit if i dont pay the money. what do i do?
Jes if you didn't give them your social they cant do anything to your credit. Just cancel your card avoid their calls and you wont have ANYTHING to worry about.
