My son and his friends ordered the Girls Gone Wild Snoop Doggy Dogg video for $9.95. When the videos came no paperwork was included with charges or information. His checking account was charged $20.97 (seems extreme for shipping and handling charges).

The following month that was another draw on his checking account. This time for $24.98 - we didn't know what this charge was for. The people at the bank verfied it was a charge from GGW Video. My son said that the person on the phone when he ordered told him that he would have the option of viewing future videos. We still haven't received this additional video or any information with a phone number or address.

When/if this video arrives, we intend to send it back as they thought the first set was a ripoff. How do we contact GGW Video to stop future shipments??? I spoke to someone who said his friend received at least 15 of this shipments.

My son is nineteen, attending college and only works part time. He cannot afford to get these shipments and lose $25 every 3 weeks. He hopefully has learned a lesson about ordering stuff on a whim from these infomercials.

Please help!!!!
