  • PUR*SHOPGOLF 7850 Ruffner Ave. VanNuys, California USA

PUR*SHOPGOLF KS14 KICK X golf balls. Offered for 99cents. Then other offers made in "loop" which one could not exit easily. I did order a few items that indicated they were $1. I finally quit the site. I never received an invoice itemizing my order. (This was on No. 22, 2014) No contacts from company. My VISA bill arrives on Dec. 3 or 4th with $94.69 charge from this company. I learned on Dec. 11 that this was the first of five payments!!! My total bill was going to be over $500!!! I did not order anything near these charges. I called and received an ambivalent response on what I was charges for and how. I told them I did not want any of these items as I never ordered all these things, no where near. VanNuys, CA 91406 California

I saw this add in a television ad, on about Nov. 22, for a dozen new KICK X golf ball for .99 so I went to their site to order. I ordered the golf balls, then was made another offer, and another, and another... I could not get out of this "loop" gimmick so I quit the site. I did order a few other items at low cost, like $1 each. Some items may have been a bit more but nothing very costly, no where near the $500+ they claim I ordered. 

I never realized I had completed any order as I did not get a summary 'purchase' order or invoice at that time or ever. I was suspicious, and even more so when a charge for $94.69 appeared on my Dec. 2 Visa card bill. I was astonished. I report this transaction to VISA and completed a "dispute" report. It was unclear if they would stop this payment. 

On Dec. 7, 2014 I received a package from PURSHOPGOLF which contained the dozen golf balls plus three items I know I did not order. The enclosed packing list indicated there were 4-5 other items which were not enclosed. I called the company at 888/368-5287 to complain. I was informed this was the first of five payments for a total of over $500! I was told I would be charged something if I sent the stuff back. I insisted I did not want any of these items. I was then told they would send me a postage label to return the items. They seemed to indicate I would be charged some fee. I objected any charges. 

This whole episode looks very much like a scam. Others should be warned not to deal with this company.

Thanks,

Pat
