They are charging us for an online business ad that we did not want
Complaint
Rebecca Harrison
Country: United States
They tricked our admin assistant into saying yes that she could authorize for purchases. She orders our office supplies, but is not authorized to purchase a business ad for 689.00. This is a total scam and I want to take some kind of action. This is riduclous. First it was the yellow pages and now this. What can be done to stop this? I refuse to pay a $689.00 ad that we did not order.

They didn't disclose the terms of their "offer", so you never agreed to it. No "contract", just fraud.
Be aware that these scams often doctor, edit, or misrepresent what they claim are recorded phone calls. They may make threats of lawsuits or credit damage, but they are too well known by FTC and AGs to follow through.
You might also be harassed by a collection agency next. There is one in New Jersey in bed with these scams, making the same fraudulent claims and threats, but still all bluff. If contacted by them, file a fraud complaint with FTC.
File fraud complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General. If they sent you a fraudulent bill through the U.S. mail, also file a mail fraud complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspector.
