Complaint Review: Specialty Merchandise Corp.

Around the end of Nov. 2008, i called smc to inquire about their company due to seeing ad by Tom Bosley on
siness oportunity.

Talked to a Mrs Tina Kinn out of Arizona. She talked and chatted awhile and then informed me the free packet did not contain all info i needed to reveiw their products.After about thirty minutes of trying to inform her i just wanted free info she seemed to get very pushy and i said i would rather wait until Jan, or Feb 2009 to decide.
She pushed me into ordering the 34.95 startup kit and i did not need to go further if i decided not to.She also said i would need a coach to get started.

I agreed to startup kit as it came with brochure and price list.She took bank info for a onetime withdrawal of 34.95 and if i decided to continue to call and confirm.
I never received a coaching but did receive the packet a week later.

looked at merchandise and decided their prices were no cheaper than walmart or target prices.I never called but got a bill for 439.45 and then received a letter citing they were turning over to collections.

I called and complained and i was told i was on tape agreeing to all .I told them i remembered telling mrs kinn 3 times no.They say bill is legit and i say its not.
