One very important thing that I have learned over the years is to never,
NEVER give out your credit card numbers unless you are absolutely sure of
the company.  It is no one's business, but yours of what your credit card 
numbers are.  

I think rather than letting a company like this get away with harsh
sales tactics, perhaps someone should inform one of the many investigative
reporters in your area.  At least, expose the company for the fraud that
they are.
