Stick Bills™

On December 10, 2009, I called the phone no. (800-757-7180) that appeared on a TV ad for a book named “1001 All Natural Secrets to pest free property” as quoted on the ad for $19.95 – buy one, get second book free, no shipping or handling fees.

The phone recording said the book was on sale for $14.95, also get second book free (for friends or family), no S&H. I gave them my Visa Credit Card, today I checked the transaction, a company named GPM Merchandise Direct charged my Visa $90.65. From $14.95 to $90.65 – who are these thieves?

One Thing in my favor, probably only temporary, I had only $71.39 on my Visa debit card, therefore, the order was declined. They can take their books and put them in 1001 All Natural Secret places. I am going to put a large amount on my card shortly and am afraid they may keep trying to get it – can they do this?

I am going to call the Maine BBB tomorrow, woops, Monday, and report them and see if they can help me. Now I wonder who I can trust, certainly not the ads on TV. This had nothing to do with the internet, except I used it to check my Visa balance.

BTW, I could find no way to talk to a real person at the phone number i ordered from.
