On April 1, 2009 I received a phone call from a gentleman by the name of Chris and he said he was with Publishers Clearing House. He said that I had won 2 round trip plane tickets. When I asked for what, he told me for just paying my Visa credit card on time. I thought that was a little fishy but I decided to get more information. He told me all I needed to do was to give him my address so he could send me the plane tickets. I gave him that information and he proceeded to tell me that in order to get the tickets I had to purchase magazines. Before I could say anything he said I see you are using a Visa beginning with the number 4 would you like to use that card for the magazines. I felt that they must already have my credit information and so in believing him, I gave him my credit card information. The phone call then went into a verbal agreement That I had to say yes to. At no time was I told how much the subscription amount would be or that my verbal agreement for a binding contract for two years. I assumed that something would be sent to me in the mail that I would need to sign if I decided to finalize the subscription.
I did receive something in the mail and it appeared to be junk mail, something about plane tickets and that I needed to mark what magazines I wanted. Thinking this was the piece of mail I needed to send back in with my signature, I decided not to finalize the subscription and just threw it away thinking that I was done with the whole situation.
After tax returns, I paid off my credit card for my upcoming wedding and honeymoon. In July I had opened my credit card statement just to make sure everything was still ok and I noticed there were close to $200.00 in charges on my card. I called my credit card company asking what the charges were for and they told me that the number next to the name was a phone number and that I should call it. I called the number and it was World Wide Readers Service Inc. I told them my situation and that there was a mistake for them charging my credit card that they must have the wrong person. The woman put me on hold, and then hung up on me. I called back and she hung up on me again! I then called my credit card company again and told them I needed to report these charges as being fraudulent. They disputed all the charges made from that company and also gave me a brand new card.
Thinking that had done the trick I didnt worry about that company anymore until on October 16, 2009. I received a bill in the mail saying that I owe this same company $159.60. I called the company on
