Interstate Subscriptions Ripoff! They took money out of my checking account after I was promised they would not. San Antonio Texas
Three weeks ago, two girls came to my door selling magazine subscriptions to help them travel overseas, to Europe. After listening to their ambitions to visit several historical sites, I was a bit sketical.
They showed me a copy of the better business bereau report and even took me the website. This was all very convincing and being a student myself, I decided it was towards a good cause for their education.
They informed me that the minimum purchase was two magazines and they asked for my credit card. I declined and was firmly assured that it was only to ensure that I wanted the magazines. Again, I did not want to give my card. The second girl also assured me that I would recieve the magazines in the mail and I can make installed payments it would not come out of my checking account.
Today, I find that it has come out of my checking account with an additional insufficient fund fees. I keep up with my limited funds and had not included this excess amount to clean me out for the next two weeks. Not only did I pay additional amounts for the magazine but now I have under ten dollars in my account for the next two weeks....
I am very dissappointed because I was lied to for these purchases and because of the three day refund policy, it gave me no time to repond or cancel. Also, I was given a bogus phone number, which I called several times and only recieved a busy signal. I got the actual phone number through the internet which I searched for myself. All I want is my money back.
