Majic Jack Deceptive Billing Advertising Internet

Had had good reports on Majic Jack product from friends. An E-mail from that company recently appeared in my E-mail box. Opened the link to and read it. It offered a years service for $19.95. Sounded good.

Started the order process, which of course required my Credit Card data. I provided it. Then I discovered that the cost was now $39.99. Oops! Had to be a mistake so i went back through the same process with the same result. At no time did I confirn the order with any type of final authorization.

I thought it would be nice to call this company to be sure that I would not be billed. Could find no E-mail address, phone number, or physical address. Did discover today the you can IM with their customer service.

Today, to my surprise I received an E-mail informing me that I had a confirmation order number and that it was being delivered via UPS. (in other words - already shipped). Immediately tried to "reply" from Yahoo. They must have fixed that as I kept getting a message about "formattimg problem on the Majic Jack address." Then called my credit card company and was informed that I had a "pending" charge in excess of $93.00 from Majic Jack. Getting serious now!

Managed to get 2 phone numbers which I will share-561-594-2140 and 281-404-1551. The latter gets you to billing. After a 5-10 minute hold I was informed by a recorded message that I was number 5 in line and that the waiting time was appx. 34 minutes. So much for patience! Tried what the recorded mesage suggested and had a lenghty IM chat with an "upper -level" person. The person was polite as well ambigious in responding to my very specifc requests.

Have been promised a 24-48 hour response via E-mail. Waiting for that reply! Will let you know.

If their reply is unsatisfactory, I will begin the process of requesting investigations by my State Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission. Buyers beware of any request for Credit Card info "before" a final cost is verified! Also,I will no longer do business with companies without their business address and a phone number for Customer Service.
