- OK...I admit it...I got scammed and there isn't anyone to blame but myself. I too responded to a radio advertisement for grocery "vouchers" - website says my newly registered account is "expired", can't get a response from the much vaunted "Customer Service" (Corporate meeting according to the recorded message - probably figuring out ways to rip us off more!) So - easy way out, folks: contact your bank, cancel your debit or credit card and have a new one issued. Explain that you are willing to eat the original charge that you actually DID authorize - but this keeps the company from charging you any more. Specifically request from your bank that your new numbers NOT be transferred - you MUST contact any legitimate monthly charge companies you have arranged (autopay electric for example, insurance, anything you set up for auto charge) and give them your new numbers. Pain in the backside, but the only way to stop these companies is to cut the pursestrings. Luck to all!

I did some research and found out about the over charging and unauthorized charging being done from this company and the companies with "special free trial offers". I decided to cancel everything and tried to call the customer service number, but got a recorded message about hours and whatnot. I called back in the morning (today) and getting hung up on, a busy signal, or just put on hold. I kept checking my bank account to see if I had already been charged, which luckily I had not. I went to my ba
