I called a number from the radio for Internet Speedway. The CD was 9.99 and paid by credit card. Supposedly this CD was for informational purposes only, no obligation for anything else.

We didn't decide to use the CD and threw it away.
Stupidly we had signed up for another WEBSITE scam and there were legitimate charges on my credit card for those meanwhile Internet Speedway had snuck in a few of their $59.99 charges. By the time I noticed it all (I paid some of them) and ended up closing my credit card.

Out of the blue I received a call from Monterey Financial Services. When I refused to pay for a service I did not buy, the girl who's name i wrote down and her phone # said Oh no, you signed a contract and we will send this to a collection agency. She basically threatened me. I was really angry, but in the same time I didn't want my good credit ruined until I could at least track this later. So I made a remaining payment and closed my other credit card a few days later. Now I'm trying to collect what's due to me. I will never ever do this again. This company is a fraud and it's a scam and once they have your credit card they are gonna take your money.

I checked out this company and several others that I hear advertised all the time on AM radio, as possible "investments" and extra-work options. In the case that you're not interested in the "product", it's all the same: they have your credit card number from a shipping payment, you can't get any customer service, and surprise payments get on your credit card for something you don't want or that you returned, and they threaten to ruin your credit if you fight or don't pay.

If nothing else, DON'T PAY!! You can fix the credit reports when you show them it was a scam.

I saw this with "See Clearly" method, "Mystery Shopper", "Internet Speedway", the co's that sell hair-regrowth vitamins that don't do anything (duh!!!) and the list goes on.

If there are all these common threads, there is likely something else common to them, since no one creates a business with multi-million dollar radio and TV ad campaigns for these scams in 5 minutes. Someone has to help.

There have to be lawyers, ad agencies, and in particular, BANKS, involved to help create and maintain these scams. I would guess that there are only a handful of these scam assistants, and THEY should be investigated and tried under the RICO laws, as they are truly RACKETEERING ENTERPRISES. The banks are laundering criminal money for these guys, the ads are helping to defraud, and media companies are no less than pimping by running ads that prey on their audience.
