I had initially thought this company was a scam because I had been charged $139.95 on my credit card and I had not known what it was for. I did not recall purchasing anything from a company called Simple Escapes. I had been called previously by a company offering a trial "gift card" and after reading other complaint reports from this website I assumed my case was similar to other the other rip-off stories posted. I have searched further into my records, and found that while participating in an internet game "Somebody Likes You" I did infact register to recieve a $25.00 trial gift card from the company "Simple Escapes" in order to receive clues about a supposed secret admirer. I never recieved my $25.00 gift card and forgot about the whole thing. As it says under the terms of "Simple Escapes" I had a 30 day trial period free, then I would be charged $139.95 annually unless I cancelled my membership. I am rebutting my own statement because I have contacted Simple Escapes, and explained the fact I had been charged $139.95 and never received any gift card. Simple Escapes agreed to send me the gift card with an additional $100.00 credit added because I never received any $25.00 gift card, and I was charged. My advise to myself, and others is, "One should not get involved with strange internet games if he or she cannot keep track of too many things at once."
