I tried a recommended App called TalkU to get an anonymous number linked to my phone to screen unwanted calls that show up as “unknown “.
Part of the service was to review companies whom TalkU has a relationship. One company offered a “sample” of there product “Go Force”, a dietary supplement. I read through all of the information. The ad stated very clearly I would be charged a couple dollars for shipping. I just got sent a second shipment, at $89.95 which I didn’t order or agree to.
I checked for their website but it’s been suspended.
I called their 800-988-6370 and spoke with Malik (I spelled it back for his agreement). I said I didn’t order the product and want to return it. First he informed me I had an account. Then offered to close the account and accept a partial refund of 30% and keep the product. I again asked for an address to return the product to. He then said he’d give me 50% percent refund but I’d need to keep the product. I restated (politely), thanks but I was going to send the product back. He then said he would close the account, issue 100% refund and said there was no address to send the product back to.
I pushed back to overcome his objections, and he finally hung up.
THIS IS A SCAM! I’m going to also report this to the US Post Master, as using the US postal services as part of a fraud scheme resembles mail fraud to me!
