Stupid question, but how did he get your card information?  Unless you are currently subscribed to the $450 package. I would let them know that you are going to press fraud charges as well as dispute the charge.

uh oh.
My free estimates are the epitone of scum.
-Horrible customer service
-Fradulent charges
Probably even worse of a bottom-feeding parasite then Service Magic.
If you ever get a call from "Tara" or "Eric", offering you any type of service---run like your avoiding the plague.

We were one the pick and choose plan where we would accept the leads we want to accept based on a lead preview; which is the $450. That is how they had our card info.
Chris is another person you should run away from.

Quality Smith is good
Service Magic is good to excellent if you know how to set up your account.
Leads.com is excellent....not a lot of volume but you are in control and they're live.
abcleads.com is mediocre
myfreeestimate.com is absolute **** (Crap).
Reliable Remodelers are absolute **** (crap).

I will never have anything to do with lead based services no matter what. I've read far too much negative.

ut a package for $1400 instead of the $450 package. I told him no, next thing I see is my credit card charged 1400. Called in they said it was unintentional; yet they refused to credit the $1400 charge. We are in the process of disputing the charge. 
I will never give up!
