I get passed from phone jockey to phone jockey and when pressed to talk to a supervisor they hang up. The company phone number is different than the one online and I had hope that it would connect me with real business people. NOPE, it went to the same menu.

This was from AcaiBurn. At the end of the news report she mention using a debit card of these web sites as a no no. Well I used a credit card and I have fraud protection. There was nothing my credit card could do because these thiefs have found a way to make what they steal legal. Because of this huge lack in judgement I had at one website, I had to call about 9 different companies to get everything canceled. It is not just one company, but many many more working together to screw anyone they can. PATHETIC Just yesterday I realized that I had over about 150.00 in charges that I was unaware of.
