Dwight of Salem WV (2/27/03):
I received my bank statement and it had a debit charge of $134.95 on it from "Simple Escapes." I had never heard of them. When I called the 1-888 number they told me that I had ordered this by a "Pop-Up" on AOL. I said I had never done that and besides how did they get my checking account number to which they replied "through AOL." Can anybody just give out your bank checking account number to whomever they want? This is very dangerous!

I signed up for a 45-day trial with AOL. Called to cancel was given two more months of "free" service. When i got my credit card statement I was charged $134.95 for a membership to SIMPLE ESCAPES. Never heard of it. An 888 number was on my statement. I called it and was informed that I must have signed up on one of the pop-ups. But I keep a record of what I buy on my credit card and I have no idea what this is.
