I HEARD ON THE RADIO CALL TO GET 2,000.00 IN FREE GROCERIES. SO I CALLED THINKING IT WOULD BE OK CONSIDERING IT WAS ON THE RADIO. AFTER ASKING ME A FEW QUESTIONS HE PUT ME ON HOLD FOR 30 SECONDS AND CAME BACK AND SAID CONGRAGULATIONS YOU QUALIFIED. THERE WAS ONLY 2 OPENINGS IN MY ZIP CODE AND I SNAGGED ONE OF THEM. HETOLD ME THAT I WOULD GET 2,000.00 IN GROCERY VOUCHERS TO SPEND AT THE GROCERY STORE OF MY CHOICE. INSTEAD OF USING MY DEBIT CARD JUST GIVE THEM THE VOUCHER. THEN HE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A ONE TIME FEE OF 19.95. SO I TOLD HIM I WILL HAVE TO DO IT SOME OTHER TIME. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT. HE SAID IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS TO GO THROUGH. AND IT WAS GOING TO BE REBATED BACK TO ME FROM FREESHIPPING.COM. WITH MY 30 DAY TRIAL. FREESHIPPING.COM HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE REBATE AND CANCELED THE TRIAL WITH NO CHARGE TO ME. THE NEXT DAY I HAD CALLS FROM ANOTHER MAN WITH MY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION ABOUT 100.00 IN GAS VOCHERS JUST FOR DOING A 30 DAY TRIAL FOR A 1.00. BY THE TIME THE CALL WAS ALMOST OVER HE HAD ME SIGNED UP FOR 3 TRIALS THAT WERE 1.00 EACH. AT THIS POINT I HAVE LIKE 6 TRIALS. 2 OF THEM I WAS CHARGED 1.00 EACH THE COMPANIES WERE TLC GREAT FUN AND THE OTHER WAS TLG SHOPPER THAT OFFER THE SAME THINGS. SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME COMPANY OWNS THEM.THEN I WAS CHARGED 8.00 FROM SAVINGSTOGO. I CALLED THEM AND SAID I NEVER AUTHORIZED AN 8.00 CHARGE. NOW MY BANK ACCOUNT IS NEGITIVE. I WILL HAVE A OVERDRAFT FEE. THE SUPERVISOR WAS ON THE PHONE AND STATED THAT IT WAS A HOLD TO AUTHORIZE THE MEMBERSHIP. AND I WOULD ONLY BE CHARGED THE 1.00. AND I COULD NOT EVEN CANCEL THE MEMBERSHIP. I HAD TO WAIT 10DAYS. WHAT A SCAM!!!!! WHO
