I am still on-hold with one of those BS companies to have all of their charges credited to our account.

It seems that hundreds of thoudands of people are being scammed for $39.95/month and $14.95/month.

The companies are TodaysEssentials and ShoppingEssentia. You will read about these companies in the Wall Street Journal within a few weeks.

TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Be aware.
