Blue Whale Publications Ripoff Stolen Credit Card information Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I received a call from a Blue Whale Publications Inc. telemarketer named Misty. She offered what seemed to be a fairly good deal and never asked for any credit card information. I asked that she send information and she agreed.
I received a letter from Blue Whale Publications, Inc. on June 20, 2006. They advised that I would be making 20 payments of $49.90. Still I am Okay with this for what I should be receiving in return.
Finally, we run into the paragraph stating "... your monthly payments will be billed electronically to your credit card. Your first payment will appear on your next credit card statement."
I NEVER provided any credit card information and there is nothing in the packet sent that requests such information. It would seem they have obtained my information illegally.

The letter I received stated the charges WILL appear the first of the month. I would like to prevent that from happening if at all possible. Everything I've read and learned advises that once the charges are made - the process for compensation is difficult. While I did not provide CC information, they did ask what types of CCs I did possess, i.e. MasterCard, Visa, Discover, etc. This particularly concerns me because other charges (not authorized by me) have occurred on a CC of mine. If they already have my CC information - as it indicates in the paperwork mailed, I would be VERY interested to know how they acquired it.

Has any charge showed up on your credit card?

That's probably a standard form letter describing terms of agreement that a subscriber would have. If you haven't given them your CC information, you aren't yet a subscriber and shouldn't be charged anything. If they do have your CC information -- without you giving it to them -- and charge you, then you have a rip-off.
