Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I went over items being sold by Publishers Clearing House , I did not purchase anything , then I entered their contest . Then a page came up that looked like it was from Publishers Clearing House , Will you take a brief survey to help us serve you better with our magazine collection , you will be given a free gift for taking the survey . Then they asked questions like what is your interest , then you check the ones that you have interest in like —- camping ,—- gardening , —- sewing ,—- landscaping , —– art , etc. At the end of the survey they tell you to pick a free item for taking the survey , all we ask is that you pay $5.95 for shipping . Then you have like four things to choose from —-1. LED flashlight ,—– 2. Watch , —-3. Alpha Trim , —-4. Ladies necklace . I choose the LED flashlight , and gave who I though was Publishers Clearing House my credit card number , about a month later I received a bottle of Raging Lion , in a plain envelope , no return address , then two days later I received another bottle it was called Alpha Xtrm , this bottle was in a plain envelope no return address ,the bottles were not made in the U.S.A.,the address on the bottle is TRS limited Trademarks International ,Badenerstrasse 549 ,Zurich, 8048, Ch.,at that time I did not relate this to the survey I had taken , when I got my credit card statement from , I have five charges ,that I could not explain,for $119.97, $6.97, $6.95 , $119.97 ,$9.97. that was for Try Alpha Youth and Raging Energy. I called my credit card co., an they issued me another card and filed a Fraud Claim. I found out from the fraud dept.,who made the charges, I contacted TAKKA fulfillment center, C/O Raging Energy, P.O.Box 153201, Tampa , Fl .33684 ,phone # 1-855-214-2034 .I told them that I did not order their product , they let me know , they had shipped me two bottles with USPS tracking to my address , an i must pay all the charges , Then they hung up the phone , before I could say anything about the five different charges . Beware of this company Raging Energy but they may change their name anytime . The Master card credit card said they would not cover the fraud charges because the two bottles were shipped to my address with tracking information . If you have a credit card company like mine they can send you anything with tracking an charge your account .$263
