You may also respond to this email and reduce the amount of items you ordered.
Congratulations and enjoy your savings.
Yours truly,
magicJack
* Note that they used the term "If you falsely identify your "Debit card" as a "Credit card", they did this to try to make me feel responsible for the misleading techniques that they used in their advertising scam.
In a minute my reply email sent to them, but first a few more notes on what they have done.
The offer was MagicJack free to try for thirty days and it is offered as "There is absolutely no commitment or charges for Free Trial Offer. Your eligibility for today's 100% Risk Free, 30 Day Free Trial offer is explained further on subsequent page." Also it is stated in almost all ads that no credit card is needed for the free offer or to subscribe to the service.
First they took almost $47.00 out of my account, and also for some reason unspecified as to why they would do that they took even one more dollar. They were prompt in canceling out my account. Hell they even did that the same night I sent the following email, but still they took my money without my knowing and clear consent.
The way that they did it was an old fashioned "switch & bait" scam. As you will see below (click on it to see image in full size if you want to). When you select the box that says "This is a debit/gift card" the screen flashes instantly and although it looks the same they switched some of the wording with no further attention given to the change in the boundaries of the transaction.
As I stated to them I read every word before filling out any form and never had it entered my mind that I should have had to read it again. I thought the flicker was just a product of my unsatisfactory internet connection because it happens even reading the damn news.
End result is they took money out of my account and I have no number to call, they have said nothing to me about returning my money, but..... The punk-assed thieves sent me an email saying this... "Thank you for your interest in magicJack."
Now the damn emails I sent them...

Based on the following statement that I just received in my email from you I have decided to decline and cancel my order with you. I made this decision solely because of what I read in your email that leads me to believe you have deceived me in my purchase agreement. That coincidentally constituted fraud on your behalf and if you have touched even one cent of my account balance you can be sure legal action will be taken against you.
** Attention: Debit Card users
Due to the nature of the Free Trial Offer, this Free Trial is only available for Credit Card users. Please note: If you falsely identify your "Debit card" as a "Credit card" your card will be charged today and your order might not be processed. Please click here if you would like to change your method of payment or if you can not currently use your debit card for these payments. You may also respond to this email and reduce the amount of items you ordered.
#1 I carefully read page two of the ordering process fully and completely before checking any choice options on that page. I was never given any indication that I should have to take any further time to read the page once more because of a flicker (common on my wireless network even with Yahoo news pages) and a slight of hand change in the payment options based on my selection stating that it was a debt card Visa. I deceived no one, seems clear you are trying to pull a fast one on me though.
#2 It is considered to be trickery which results in a fraudulent offer for you to state several times that my funds will not be touched until 4-11-10 as the invoice reads on even this email I am replying to...
"Your credit card will be charged on or after the
following date(s) for the amounts listed below
Date: 04/11/2010 Charge Amount: $46.90"
If you were to decide to honor the offer as offered to me I would be more than happy to accept the agreement, but you try to touch one cent on my debt card I will have you charged with fraud and recoup for damages. Damages will include my ability to receive health care because the money left on that card is set aside for transportation costs to last me until April 3, 2010 and I am at the point of a "life threatening" illness right now. I never intended to be mislead into an agreement that could cost me loss of quality in my life or cost me my life under the worst of circumstances.
Be careful and tread lightly on people with nothing left to lose or you might end up fighting a badger with a bad attitude!
Best of the best to ya...

That was the first email. Later in the week I sent another asking about my money being returned. Still no reply from the assholes.
Here is the other one...
You still stole money from my account. When are you going to return it? I will be calling all State agencies to seek assistance in this if this matter is not handled promptly. My phone number is (XXX) XXX-XXX I recommend a service call because I am very serious about protecting myself in this matter and all emails are being saved, actually most of the reason they are being sent is to show that you have been given the option to fix this situation.
What you do from here on is your decision...
Better days...
David Rice.
