On Thursday, September 14, 2017 8:58 PM I received an email ad with a video presentation describinga "FREE" Seal Torch 2000 flashlight. The only cost was to be the shipping of $9.95 + $39.00 for the Ultimate Seal Tourch Survival Pack ($48.95).
I thought this looked like a deal even if the shipping probably paid for the flashlight but the up sell process began at this point proceeding from a three pack at $27.00 + $39.00 ($67.00) to a 5 Flashlight Family Survival Pack at $45.00 + $39.00 ($84.00) Ultimate Survival Pack. I decided to go for the $84.00 package.
I received a call from my bank this morning (Friday 9/15/2017, 8:30 am) that a charge for $84.00 was submitted and then withdrawn. I asked it any charge was accepted and they said no. I instructed Fraud Protection at PNC Bank to disreguard the charge if none had been posted since the deal feels shaky at best.
Later this morning at 9:15 am I got another call from PNC Fraud Protection stateing there were now three charges from the same vendor for $84.00 posted. They advised me to contact the vendor, Spy Survival Briefing, at (844) 242-3216 and request a credit. The phone number, when called, only produced their webb site address instructed me to go to the webb site and no help. I will contact my credit card provider and attempt to kill this transaction.
