I ordered a Flashlight that the cost was waived and I paid shipping only. All of a sudden I see a $40 charge on my same bank card following the payment for shipping on the flashlight. The charge was for something called Spy Survival Briefing, a subscription. Because it isn't something I even ordered, I was simply ordering a flashlight, I find their marketing practices deceptive. I called customer care and the agent refused to refund and cancel the subscription, saying it was a seven day free trial and if not cancelled in that seven days, the charge was valid. The way they timed the charge, we had no opportunity to do anything. The notification about the subscription came in the package they shipped the flashlight in, which conveniently didn't arrive for 10 days, so what they're claiming as the seven day free trial period had already passed when we received the package. I called them when I received the package.

It all started when i responded to an online ad shown on facebook. It featured a commercial with an army vet who showed a tactical flashlight. I paid the shipping and handling fee after giving my debit card information and in about a week i received my flashlight. Today i found that i had an unauthorized fee charged to my account of $40. This was charged without my permission and i wish to have handle my case for me.

Beware of the Flashlight Offer.

I received an unsolicited email offer talking up a defense flashlight and how bright, durable and (blah, blah, blah)... free but you pay the shipping of $4.95

What do you have to loose? After all I have gotten some nice little knives for a few buck or the purchase of a t-shirt etc. What you DO GET is a cheap LED flashlight that won't turn on at all! I have plenty of new AAA batteries and tried two sets (of 3) with no success. In the trash can it went.

Now a month later I get a bill for 40.00 from LFB (PSV Spy Survival Briefing Org). Going through the process of correcting now.

I bought two flashlights from them, cost, 4.95 shipping only. Then they started billing me 40 dollars a month for a 6 page news letter with some advertisements in it for various things like cannibus stocks, ect...

I have tried to call them, emailt them to cancil the subscription. Phone calls not ansured, emails blocked. I cannot reach anyone to cancel this sub scrition.

I responded to an email from Spy & Survival and Jason Hansen, CIA Security Expert. They offered a torch flashlights for free and would charge $4.95 for shipping. I never received the flashlight. Instead, my debit card was charged $40.00 for a monthly subscription to Laissez Faire and Spy & Survival Briefing. I blocked any further charges and they attempted to charge me again the next month. I never subscribed. I just ordered the flashlight. When I contacted them, I was told that I had ordered a trial subscription and failed to cancel before the end of the trial period. $40.00 a month for a newsletter. Outrageous! They refused to provide a refund. I have read other complaints on this website about this same issue. This is clearly internet fraud and I am going to report it to the Baltimore DA. If anyone else has had this experience, I would certainly like to hear about it.

My husband received an email for a $9.99 flashlight from Jason Hanson's Spy & Survival Breifing. He went to check out and it was supposed to be only $9.99. When he received his email confirmation it said our credit card was charged $48.95 because they threw in some BS survival kit that we did not order. Calling the company got us nowhere except a sarcastic woman who basically said "too bad". We did not order anything except the 9.99 flashlight so we are irate and disgusted and feel violated that our card was charged. This company stole our money and I am livid. We went to the bank and cancelled the credit card and we are disputing the charges. I am also planning on speaking with my cousin who is an excellent civil attorney to see what else I can do. I want my money back Jason Hansen...you crook!

DONT DO IT

Like other stated...it's a scam. I was actually charged $48 5 times! Luckily it was on my Amex so they reversed the charges for me. Thanks AMEX!
