False Advertising
I was listening to KMLE Country (Arizona) in August 2010, when I heard an advertisement for a $1000.00 grocery card. I called the number. I was told that I would have trial periods with "partner" companies to evaluate their services, and that I would have to cancel the memberships so as not to be charged by the companies. When I got the initial "$1000.00" card, it was not for any groceries, but said that I would have to log on to www.myonlinegrocerycoupons.com and join the site. The letter I received from MOR Marketing says to visit this site and after registering "You will start receiving the coupons you request almost immediately!" I did not request coupons. I called in for a gift card with money on it for groceries for letting them see by use of the card what name brand groceries I was buying and for giving feedback on the partner companies programs for health related things among others. I can't just go buy groceries with this card. I am guilty of being stupid and trying this out. However, I was mislead by the advertisement and I now, since I gave them my debit card information to process and initial fee...I am afraid that my account has been compromised and I am worried. When I called the "customer service" number a young man "Joe" answers the phone EVERYTIME. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he said "Michael" was not available, nor would he ever be. When I asked for the names of the associate companies, I was told that he did not have them and I would have to check my billing statement or my bank account statement. SCAM!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
