If I hang up on a phone order after giving my credit card number, will it still charge me?
-
I just saw a commercial for "Trendy Top", thought it was cool, & called to order, but instead of just processing my order, it gave me advertisement after advertisement for another 15 minutes until I finally just hung up saying stuff like "You can get this great deal for only $9.99 more! How many can we get for you?" NONE!!!! So it never said it charged my credit card, but it did tell me that even though I didn't want to sign up for this deal that would give me discounts to restaurants & stuff, it would sign me up for free for the first month & it'll be up to me to cancel after that. I want to know if I hung up after about 15 mins of this sh*t, is it still going to charge my credit card? Am I going to be signed up to receive this thing, then pay for it till I cancel it?

Answer:
I hate scam companies like this. Save yourself a lot of hassle. Call your bank NOW and tell them what happened and that you want your current card number replaced with a new number. They will cancel that number and mail you a new card with a different number.

If you gave them your card number, I would call to check. If you're still in doubt, ask your card issuer to block transactions with them.

Yes, you will be charged. Different infomercial companies charge at different times. For the most part, they will change your order when they SHIP the product. Sometimes they charge right away. For the trendy top, it seems like you should be charged right away. So you can call them and cancel the order first. If they cannot stop the order, then feel free to call your bank and cancel your order through them. Though calling your bank should be the second option. Lastly, most infomercials pad their profits by 'upsells.' That is what your listening too. And most infomercials do consider your order accepted the moment you give your full credit card number--even though you do not get a confirmation.
