I called the number on "Ripoffreport.com" for LD Calling plan - aka AMR Long Distance and they promised to issue a refund as long as I called off my fraud investigation through my credit card. I agreed and they are to issue me a refund. My credit card company told me I can re-open the investigation at any time so I always have that to fall back on. The woman told me that this was tied to "Tigerdirect.com" and their "free calling card" offer (which I was not interested in anyway - I said yes but then hit back and hit "no" because I don't need it). I am addressing this by passing this information along to all other tech buyers so they can make their own judgement about Tiger Direct. I can promise you I won't be buying anything from them any time soon (and I know QUITE A FEW tech buyers and I am responsible for QUITE A FEW tech $$$ being spent - with other merchants besides TigerDirect). Just to clarify things, this does NOT seem to be a "slamming" scam where your Long Distance company is changed. This is just for their calling card. I would like to say that they did not fight in returning my money. From the looks of this website, it seems that they have had to deal with quite a few people who were charged unsuspecting. I suggest to anyone who was charged, call them and tell the situation and they should refund your money. If they don't, unleash the hounds - your rights are protected. Ripoffreport.com rocks! keep up the good work!
