Winter Coat Shopping - for a snow job!
Tried to order a nice winter coat priced at $45. When I tried to complete the order form, the $9.95 protection plan popped up. When I declined it, a red "Do Not Honor" sign covered the order button. So it appeared my order was canceled. 10 minutes later, I got an email thanking me for ordering. It went on to describe their Reward Club that would begin in 19 days, costing $39.99 per month, it sounded like if I weren't a member, the coat would cost $129. Checking my card, I discovered my $45 charge was pending at Viramaxpower.com in Pennsylvania & the declined insurance was listed to a Health Insurance group in Utah! I contacted my bank and had my card shut down. There was nothing on the form I filled out about this Reward Club at all. I filled out their form to cancel the sale immediately. Was treated very courteously by a representative, Gino, who promised to rescind my charge. Guess I was fortunate for being quick to shut down! My bank, Choice One , handled it pleasantly. Real learning experience!
