Ever have one of those mystery charges show up on your mobile phone bill? I had some on mine from BLINKO. OK, the first time it happened, I thought, “Ok, my son must have bought a ringtone or something”.
Of course he did not remember doing it! I paid the bill, called the 800 number and made sure that I was not subscribed to anything else that would cost me more $$. I did not think anything else about it until a few months later. I had another $9.99 charge on my bill. My phone company could not do anything other than give me the 800 number to call. I bet you will be surprised to learn that the phone number was always busy.
I sent an email to the company from the website; receiving an email response 7 days later. They could cancel my subscription but could not issue me a credit. It is only $10 but I had already paid them about $20 the time before.
To make a long story short, I file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau to get their attention. I had an back within 36 hours and a check was at my home in less than a week.
Just a reminder of how to get the attention of some of these companies.
