I received an unsolicited telephone call by a very pushy sales person who said that he got my contact details from an "online survey", and would not take no for an answer until he got a sale. After some heated discussion, where he unsuccessfully tried to get my credit card details, he said that he would send the first instalment of the Weapons of War series to me on approval only for the cost of the postage. I refused to pay the postage costs using my credit card as I did not feel comfortable with the company knowing my credit card details. As he already had my name and address details, the item duly arrived in the mail.
Having not agreed to this purchase, I did not open the item, as I waited to be contacted by the company in due course. Subsequent items arrived, a total of four items before a representative from the company contacted me by phone demanding payment in full for all the previous items. This was the first time I was contacted, since the initial sales contact. I explained to the person that I never expressed an interest in the product, yet they saw fit to send these items to me and then demand payment for something that I had not requested.
After a number of telephone conversations, a compromise was reluctantly reached, where a discounted price was settled upon. I requested that for my records, the company bill me for the new agreed price, and that payment would be made when this arrived.
To my surprise, the bill arrived for the agreed amount plus a surcharge for overdue payment. This company uses dubious marketing techniques to supply their product, and prey on the unweary consumer to extort payments for their highly overpriced products. Beware!

Approximate cost: $174.90
