Consolidated Media Services ripoff Atlanta Georgia

Hello all.

About a week ago, I received a call from them stating I had won their sweepstakes or something. They told me they were from VISA! I, for some odd reason being so stupid, verified my CC number, and offered me subscriptions to magazines. I said yes (again, being so stupid).

I called back, saying I was only a college student, and they reduced the offer to about $30 for 8 months. I told them to cancel it. The person said it would take 5 - 7 days for my first payment to be refunded. (I still have not been charged yet, fortunately).

But then two days later, I got a call from them "comfirming" my cancellation, saying that my first payment has gone through, and has already been prepaid! I said fine, since just one payment is cheaper than their full service scam.

It's now a week later. I have a Visa DEBIT (not credit) card, and still no bills yet. I don't know when they will charge my "first" payment. Should I call my bank and say I lost my credit card now, to avoid possible charges? Any tips would be helpful.

Please Post them to this Report as an update or rebuttal
