Well... I joined probably 100's of people that got duped with this and didn't realize what I was doing. I saw info packet - Home Marketing for $2.97, and it was advertised in a fake newspaper artical that looked like it was affiliated with my local TV company Channel 6. In addition, I didn't notice the fake NBC, CNN and Google logo and felt stupid afterwards when I went back on the website and put in a fake name, so I could read all the discliamers on the bottom. They say they are in no way affiliated with those news companys, but use them for their scam, and the $2.97 that I authorized turned into a 139.95 dollar charge after a 3 day trail. Then they automatically bill you for 39.99 for 3 months after. They are total scammers as the minute you authorize the 2.97, you authorize those other charges without checking a terms box or getting a reciept. Anyways, I purchased this on Friday mid morning on the 2nd of july. Later in the day I called a couple phone numbers as I came to my senses with out any luck, but I was given an e-mail address in which i got the run around. I ended up calling the phone number they give you in the disclaimer and recieved an answering machine that said thay their normal business hours were M-F 9am-9pm and that they were closed. I have phone records of those calls on my cell phone. So to make a long story short, I called this morning Monday 5th as it is technically within 72 hours. Or as they refurr to it as 3 full days, and they said I was too late and they denied my request to get out of the program within the trail and get my refund. She offered me a half price discount on the 139.99, but I didn't trust that wasn't an extra charge. They said their 3 days starts the day you buy it, even if it is over the weekend and my trail was finished Sunday. I told her I had phone records that I tried to call the number and told her about the answering machine that discussed the hours. The girl replied... we've been here all weekend - I worked all weekend she said. I said, 'then why do you have an answering machine that states the hours of operation are M-F?" She coudln't answer the question. I got right off the phone and called up my credit card - Chase told them the whole story - have credit protection and am a lifelock member. Chase called them and refunded me the 139.99 and the 39.99 and said that no other payments will be posted from them. They are watching the transactions for me. I asked the Chase banker how she got those results, and she said they get scared when the banks start calling them because I was apparently still in the three day window after chase talked to them. Lol Hope I don't have anymore problems from them, but I am watching close and now Chase knows about the situation. Hope others read this and I hope this helps someone else from loosing their hard earned cash to these loosers.
