Complaint Review: ICM Websites - California

Like many, I have been looking for a job for over a year.

When I saw this website, it sounded good and for a little over $2.00, I could obtain additional information.  So I gave them my credit card number.

More than a went by and I received a brochure with a CD and the return address rang a bell.  I decided to do nothing.  I did not use the CD.  I thought, what is this?  And I certainly was not going to put the CD in my computer.

May 4, 2010 was the transaction date, June 6, was the posting date, June 10, 2010, I received my credit card bill with a charge of $139.95. 

I called ICM immediately and was given the "pat answer"  that I did not cancel within 3 days.  Cancel what?  I had no information.  I was waiting on them.

Very clever, very slick and definately not honorable or forthright.

$139.95, would have fed me for a month.  $139.95 would have paid my cell phone bill and my Home heating bill.

Then I saw all the complaints against this rip-off business, I felt worse.  I felt like the Willie Nelson song, "The Last Thing I Needed, The First Thing This Morning"

The last thing "Norm" ask me, was there anything else he could do for me!

He then proceeded to give me a confirmation number that no further charges would be put on my credit card.

I am going to call my local TV help line and contact my Federal Congress Woman and ask them if, they will repeat my story and warn other unemployed, discouraged, angry and despirate people, not to apply for home businesses.  If you look at the complaints against this "businesses" it is amazing that Federal regualtions have not been initiated to prevent this kind of abuse.

There is always a catch. Beware, sleezy people and businesses are everywhere.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my disappointment in the situation that has allowed dishonet people to pray upon the desperate.
