Do you usually go on tele-spending sprees after surgery when you are admittedly all doped up? Grow up and don't operate heavy machinery (this in your case includes the phone) when you are heavily medicated.

I used to be a telemarketer and when we sold things over the phone, we had to be recorded when explaining the processes that needed to take place, and to make sure that the customer understood what we were going to do, we asked them to verify something (date of birth, mothers maiden name, etc) so that if it came back on us, we would have that as proof that they agreed and understood. If they did not do this, maybe you should dispute it with whomever you paid them with (credit card, or your bank). If you however agreed to this and they have proof, there isnt anything that they have to do as far as refunds. I understand that the person on the other phone didnt care/didnt know about your condition and trust me, they only care about making a buck, but it seems like an expensive lesson you learned. Im on the fence about what I would do in your situation. Since it was a large amount of money, you should fight it, but there is no guarantee that you will get anything but headaches from it. If anyone EVER wants to sell you something over the phone, just ask them to send you info in the mail so that you could look it over on your own time instead of making a quick decision, and if whatever company is trying to sell you something has a good reputation, they should not have a problem doing this for you. Beware of anything that states a 30 day moeny back guarantee, full refund, or free trial....they are trying to sucker you out of money.
