Complaint Review: Star Communications

I recieved a call about a couple weeks ago from this "company" saying that I won a $500 shopping spree and all I had to pay was $4.95 shipping and handling 5 days AFTER I have recived the "shopping spree" which was supposed to arrive the following monday between 2-4pm, but it has yet to show up. They also told me that they were a part of the better business bureau, so when they asked my acct# I believed them and agve them my info.

They also told me that they were enclosing 3 bonus packages and if I didnt want them all I had to do was throw them away. I was then transfered to another person who then told me If I didn't cancel the "bonus packages" I would be charged a bunch of fees. I then searched the companies phone # online and saw that this was a scam. Immediately I called the company and cancelled everything and told them they better not charge me anyhting because I cancelled and they even gave me cancellation #'s.

Later I recieved a letter from my bank for insuffiecent funds, they charged me $129.90 and two charges of $4.95, plus my bank charged me $102 in overdraft fees because of this. I am a college student so there is no way I could afford to pay this, and all my bank did was take off 1 overdraft fee and stop payment on two of the three charges. I am furious and I want to see everybody working for this "company" in jail!
