For obvious reasons I agreed I mean who wouldnt want all those gift FREE by joining for only 1 DOLLAR. Within two weeks I received a letter stating that I had joined 3 clubs and that was it. I called told them that I wanted my gift cards and i was transferred 4 times when this very nice English speaking woman finally said that I was right and that all I have to do is request the cards and that I would be getting them within one week she also said that she would be more than happy to cancel my subscriptions right then and that I would not be charged at all. But because I took advantage of the 1 DOLLAR offer that I would still get my gift cards.
SHE LIED it has been 3 months NO Cards NO coupons and 2 charges for 119.00 and another charge of 10.00 dollars.
NOT once did they charge the 1 DOLLAR by the way. I contacted my bank and they turned it down for fraud because at some point i gave them my account info. I called the company and was told that they made a mistake and that if I wrote them a letter requesting my money back that they would send it to me in 10-14 days. ONCE AGIAN did it and they have not returned my money but instead OOK 119.00 dollars more out just this last month.
This company has done this and now it has cost me around 600.00 DOLLARS in bank fee because I am not rich I have 2 kids to take care of and we live pretty much pay check to pay check when you are expecting to have money and it gets stolen it is embarrassing to have to go pay bounced checks because of it.
I hope that someday somebody will find these people and take them down put their name and pictures and the billboards and news.
Please somebody help show everyone what terrible people they are.

Wal-Mart shopping spree scam

7 On Your Side
Apr. 6 - KGO - It's known as the Wal-Mart shopping spree scam, but Wal-Mart isn't really involved. Consumers sign up for huge discounts, but prosecutors say all they get is empty promises and a lighter wallet.
The suspected scam gets its name because a telemarketer tempts consumers with heavily discounted gift cards for major retailers and other businesses. Now the Federal Trade Commission is moving to shut the telemarketing company down.
Wilene Sanders, Hayward: "It makes me feel like a fool for one thing because I trusted them."
Wilene Sanders of Hayward still hurts from the phone call she received before Christmas.
Wilene Sanders: "It just seems like it's just a scam, you know."
She's out $298. The same thing happened to this Sunnyvale man. He's out $258.
Sam Sudarsanam, Sunnyvale: "I felt so upset by myself that signing up for this and I probably never do it again."
The Consumer Rewards Network near Los Angeles promised both of them $500 shopping sprees and discounts to entertainment venues like Six Flags. All this for just a $4.95 shipping and handling fee payable by check or debit.
They say once the company got their checking account information, it electronically debited money from their accounts without permission. Both are still waiting for their shopping sprees.
Pat Wallace of the Better Business Bureau says he's seen too much of this during his career.
Pat Wallace, Better Business Bureau: "It leaves me speechless sometimes but what I can't understand to some extent is why people fall for it because it's so obviously a phony situation."
The number of potential victims is staggering. The Better Business Bureau of Southern California received 1,400 complaints about the company. In fact, it's awarded Consumer Rewards Network its notorious Pluto Award.
The BBB says its award unceremoniously recognizes companies that use underhanded business practices and ambiguous advertising to augment their riches.
The Federal Trade Commission has also taken action and has won a temporary restraining order freezing the company's assets and ordering them to stop engaging in deceptive telemarketing practices.
We called the company for comment, but no one answers their phone. The BBB says the Consumer Rewards Network is also known by many other names including Mega Movie Club, Star Network and Health Network USA.
If you feel Consumer Rewards Network (or its affiliated companies) owes you money, you can add your name to the list of victims with the Federal Trade Commission.
