Virtue Luxury Watches Don't fall for this scam Internet
I found this complaint already listed on this site. I had the same experience. A "luxury watch" was advertised for $5.99. Trial or membership was not mentioned in the ad. I received the watch, which was maybe worth $10, very plain and ordinary. Didn't think much about it; only paid $5.99 for it. However, in a few weeks, there was a $98 charge on my credit card. Had a hard time tracking down what it was for, but eventually called the phone number listed on my statement. After a long wait, I talked to an Asian speaking man, whom I could barely understand.
He told me I didn't cancel my order within 14 days, so the $98 charge was not refundable. He did agree to cancel my account, after I told him several times that I was not interested in any alternative program or remedies. He still stood his ground that the $98 charge could not be refunded.
After I told this person, repeatedly, that I was reporting them to the BBB - he didn't seem to care. After several more minutes of going around and around, because I was not aware I was signing up for a trial period, he agreed to cancel my account immediately and refund 50% of the $98 charge. He also said he would send me a confirmation email within 24 hrs. along with sending me some coupons, I think he said for restaurant discounts. This remains to be seen.
I have a cheap watch that works, and have learned a tough lesson. Please don't fall for these scams. Even though the offer says nothing about a trial period, it can happen to you.
