Best Brand Values Hot Book Sale Beware! Scam artists at work! The membership you didn't know you had Internet, Internet
Two years ago I bought one Hot book at what I thought was a good price, something in the area of $10. Today I find that, to date, I have paid unbeknownst to me $9.95 for the past 24 months. So in effect that one book cost me $238.80!!
I am told by one of the poor souls who answers BBV's phone that to get the discount price I must have checked a box which also gave me a trial membership. I had no idea that they would begin billing my credit card and keep it going year after year!!!!!!!!!!
BBV is a predator, counting on its ability to slip in unsolicited membership fees to the unsuspecting customer's monthly billing statements.
The company via the phone operator offers to rectify the matter by refunding 3 months' of the fees ($29.85). Hardly adequate and who can count on anything they say! The con artists behind this must know how to work the legal loopholes.
I'm furious at being suckered. What can I--we--do???!!!
