scam!
Complaint
Patrick Jernigan
Country: United States
I recently received a phone call from 1-888-279-9221 and also 1-877-855-4547 that told me I had won a $1000 online shopping spree. All I had to do was answer a few questions; little did I know the questions were about my bank account information. Beware, everyone, if you get a phone call from this number(s). It is a scam. After doing some research on the company, I discovered that they use your bank account information to rob you. The report I read was written by a woman who had the same experience with this company. She was told that she would receive magazines in the mail. She received no magazines but money was still withdrawn from her account.
For those that get a phone call from this number, DO NOT answer.

are just as "responsible" as they are and only looking out for number 1. In actuality,
there are many jobs out there you can tackle for financial support. Are you lazy??
If they already got your account information, all they need is some pretense for claiming you now "agreed" to even more charges, for any excuse they can think up. Ite doesn't have to make sense. You don'te even have to have agreed to it, nor does it even have to be an offer they actually tried to sell you. Just make some offer that sounds good, then later change it and take more money. More magazines, different magazines, even duplicate magazines. Longer "subscription". Whatever. Just make up bullsh*t and take some more money.
Long as they have their excuses ready, they can pretty much do whatever they want once they get your account information. If they confuse or bully you into giving up your money, they win. If not, so what? It cost them nothing to try, and there are lots of other suckers out there.
Only way to stop this ongoing fraud once the camel gets his nose under your tent, is to contact your bank to file fraud disputes against their charges and close your account or block your card number to prevent further theft. They are counting on a lot of people not realizing this until they have their money.
"Confusion" is a form of deception, as it is aimed at evading charges of outright fraud.

They called me and I spoke to a lady named Bianca. I told her that i couldn't participate, because i can't afford the magazines. I'm just a college student, then she offered me a "college discount", i said I wouldn't be able to afford it. She told me that i could try for a month and if the payments were too high, I could call back and cancel. I tried to cancel today and they told me it wasn't possible!!! They even sent me a letter saying I could cancel after three days of the date above. the account was activated July 3rd, but the date above says June 30! It's impossible to go back in time and cancel something!!! The lady i called today (Patricia) has a nasty attitude and told me that I agreed to sign up for a non- cancel able account! She played the recording for me and never once did anyone say i couldn't cancel. Also, she didn't play back the part where Bianca pressured me into ordering the magazines saying that I could cancel!! After listening to the message the lady hung up on me and I had to call back. Everyone should sue them. It is illegal to make someone participate in something in order to claim a prize anyways. Also, i never received any magazines or gift certificate. They said It will come next month, but they already charged me the first payment! They also said I owe them 23 more payments and I can't get out of their contract. My aunt is a persecuting attorney! I want to sue them for misleading me. They are crimanls.
