The company called me and said my daughter signed up to receive this SAT/ACT study material. She had been to so many college prep workshops that she was sure she may have. They knew her name, also. I had also just signed her up for the SAT exam that week. I, like others, was told it would be free for 30 days to try out and I could mail back at the end if we were not satisfied. They required a credit card "hold" for the 2 CDs they were to send me. I questioned them and they clearly stated that I would NOT be charged unless I failed to send the CDs back within the 30 days. The materials came within 3 days of the call and so did a charge for $216.32. I called them right away as I had saved the number of the person that called me. They said that was a mistake and all I had to do was send it back if unsatisfied and it would be returned. I only received two papers with the materials - neither of which explained how to use the CDs or anything - just a return mail address. The CDs didn't work. I returned the CDs right away and had the proof of that from the USPS. This bogus company REFUSED the box after they crossed out all identifying address information and removed the paper from the box that contained that information. I received the box back from them a month later. I still have it and all the info on when sent, tracking numbers, etc. I called the number and explained to James I wanted my money as I returned the CDs within the 30 days. He said it would post within 3 days. Instead of the return, I got an additional charge of $69.99. I called again and this time James said his name was Daniel. I told him in no uncertain terms that I did not authorize this charge (nor did I know what it was for), that I had proof that I returned the CDs within the 30 days and that they needed to return the funds to my account. The next time I called, James or Daniel or Rick (same guy) again answered and he was rude and said after much discussion that his supervisor would call me. Never happened. I have filed a fraud case with my bank. At no time did I authorize a charge, in fact, I was clear that none were authorized. There is also a woman involved. I have her name written down at work if anyone wants it. Please don't let these people fool you They may know your child's name and your address. I don't know how they are getting this info, but it may be at college fairs. BEWARE - the CDs do not work and very likely have spyware/malware as my girl's computer was affected and had to see a technician for eradication just after trying the CD that didn't work. Someone needs get these rats out of hiding and stop this from happening to others.
