I contacted the store multiple time by phone and in person asking for them to remove the charge since I never agreed to the purchase of the refrigerator and never received the refrigerator. They keep refusing to refund the charge of {$1100.00}. They sent me a gift card and told me to pay the charge with the gift card.
