Early Moments book club, HORRIBLE!

I recently had a baby boy. After I had him, I started receiving all kinds of offers for different baby items, clubs, etc. One was an offer from Early Moments book club to receive a free gift (pay only shipping of $4.99+tax). I paid the $4.99+tax and a couple weeks later received the gift in the mail. I knew that most of these things have a catch and you have to cancel or they'll continue to bill you. I received my gift on a Friday and the following Wednesday Early Moments helped themselves to another $20.11 from my checking account for the next set of books. I didn't even have 3 full business days to call and cancel. Now, to top it all off... When they took this $20.11, it overdrew my checking account!!! Now I have over $50 in overdraft fees because of this. I've called and spoken with 3 different people and finally spoke with a supervisor who told me that the money would be refunded in 3-5 days if I sent them a copy of my bank statement. Well, now it's been 2 weeks and I still have yet to see my money or hear from anyone. I finally received the "$70" books and just "returned them to sender". My next step will be the BBB and Attorney General. $50 isn't much to some people but it is a lot to me and especially when it was totally wrong what they did! They sell junk and I will tell everyone I know not to fall for their scam!!!

I got an email from parent magazine. About this great deal for $5 for six books and free shipping. Then they charged me $20 w out my permission and w overdraft fees put me in the negative $85. My bank called them, after an hour of argueing w their rude customer service they agreed to refund me the $20 on the condition i pay the $11 shipping to send the books back, and they never refunded me the original $5. Huge scam! I feel duped by them, and parent magazine. And the worste part is, im still getting those stupid books.

same thing has happend to me , only i never ordered any books, they just started showing up at my door, and the kicker is , i dont have any children, so why would they presume i want their books, i stopped sending money and are gonna do a return of the books, and i just hope they send me another bill, if so i 'm going straight to the BBB, and let them handle this situation. beware everyone, ive tried to find them through BBB and the address just doesnt exist

Same thing happened to me. It didn't overdraw my account but they charged $18 shortly after the original transaction and then 6 days later they charged another $18. I called in and spoke with a rep about it and was told that the first $18 charge was for my monthly subscription and the second $18 was for my yearly subscription. What?!? Tricky little devils. Anyway, they did agree to refund my money if I paid to return the books to them. The crap they send can't be worth more than $5. Such a rip off.
