PEARLS is a legitimate company but I don't know if the website is theirs. I would definitely call someone.

just checked the link

did you call their number 1-866-865-7277

They do have an address in St. Petersburg, Florida - have you checked with the Better Business Bureau?

There is list of names re: their Editorial Board

And description of their Accreditation with Georgia Nurses Association Continuing Education Review Committee

can you contact your credit card to stop any more charges? and explain.

If you can't get ahold of them, and they are a scam, dispute the charge with your credit card company....most of them offer additional protection if you use the card in a purchase.

Call you credit card company and put a charge on hold until the issue will be resolved.
