Today, I discovered a debit charge in my bank statement of $134.99 from MKS*SIMPLE ESCAPES2. I had no clue what/why this showed up on my statement. They provided no phone number or other information. I googled Simple Escapes on the Internet and found this wonderful site, which led me to the correct phone numbers.
I talked to Patrick from Escaluation, who said that I had signed up for an introductory offer through AOL and the introductory offer was over. He said that Simple Escapes charges whatever means you pay for your AOL account.
I never signed up for anything through AOL -- my next round of phone calls and letters will be through the. Patrick also tried to give me the heard sell on Simple Escapes, though I still am fuzzy about what they actually do.
