4/4/08 I was contacted by Amex a couple months after I placed an order at the Company Store,and they asked about a $99.00 charge for being a member of 'The Buyers Edge'. I do not recall joining any buying group through The Company Store and NEVER have joined any buying group of that nature. When I called the Company Store to caution them that they were associating with a known scam. I was dealt with in an aloof and dull manner by a salesperson who said I agreed to the charge by providing my 4 digit code on my credit card.She was clueless that you had to provide the same code just to purchase products She then 'pitched me' after I told her; that if I were her, I would not be very happy working for a company that had subversive sales tactics, she then said that is was a ' good deal' and I could get $100 off a airline ticket. ( all for on $99.00!!they had just charged me) I suggested she complain as a client was unhappy with their preditory use of my personal information. I am going to ask to be compensated for the time it takes me to remedy their situation at $75.00 an hour. I think it should take 2 hours to fix this mess. Too Bad, they have lost a customer for life. And an outside sales advocate. Theres far more competition now for similiar products and without having to cancel my credit card and revolving charges. Who needs to pay money to save money in this economy?
