The whole thing was weird. The item was a gift from JetBlue for completing a survey, but, I had to pay for the freight. OK, it was pretty cheap. Then the CC company refused to honor it and sent me an e-mail telling me to resubmit if I felt it was legitimate. By that time, I had decided that I really didn't want the item so I just didn't redo the request. Two days later I get a call from the originating company asking for me to resubmit. At that time I said, no, I had changed my mind and no longer wanted the item. They said OK and that she would make a note in my account about it. Another two days goes by and I get another call from them (different person) asking me if I was going to authorize this charge. I replied that I already spoke with someone about that and had decided I didn't want the item. They said... oh, yea I see that on your record now. Sorry to have bothered you. Jump ahead about two weeks and I received a package in the mail and it was the item in question. I then checked my CC account and not only had I been charged the shipping cost, but, $95.00 for the actual item. I contacted my CC and objected to the charge with an explanation of what happened and they said they would investigate it. A week later, the entire amount was deducted from my CC billing.
Moral of the story... pay attention to your statements. I know so many that never take CC payment receipts and never check them out against their bill. It's easy to spot when you are the only one charging on the account, but, if a couple uses the same card it is easy for something to slip by if you don't have receipts.
