I order the Bender ball method exercise thing a couple of months ago for my SO and now I realize they’ve sent me diet pills and more videos UNSOLICITED and have charged my account for over $80!
Fuckers are stealing from me. I don’t want any of this. I didn’t order any of this. And apparently I have to now pay postage to send this crap back to these thieves or else they keep my money.
Can someone tell em how this is legal?
I’m never ordering anything from infomercials again… hmmm, maybe I should of realized something like this would happen. Nah, still doesn’t excuse this crap.
You call your CC company and initiate a chargeback for fraudulent transactions posted to your account without your permission. You don’t owe a cent for unsolicited merchandise and are generally not required to pay to ship such merchandise back.
Better yet, have your credit card cancelled and a new one issued to you immediately. This will help prevent you from getting more crap on the same number. I’ve been through this just recently.
I ordered something from an infomercial a couple of years ago. The operator kept me on the phone for a good hour, trying to include all sorts of extra free stuff for a small additional fee of $19.95. It was like trying to navigate through landmines.
“No, not interested, please just send me the product I already agreed to” became my mantra in that hour. It got so that I pre-empted nearly every sentence she said.
They get away with it largely because people DON’T charge it back or cancel their credit card. A lot of people will just sheepishly accept being scammed.
Or, in my case, I’ve been fighting Capital One about a monthly charge from a company that doesn’t exist for a year now, and they still won’t refund my money or even cancel the card.
