I think we'd all be better off if we just went back to using cash.  Of course I still love bartering.

Roland and Hugo, sorry to hear of your travails.

 

My hubby and I recent read Frank Abagnale's book, "Stealing Your Life," about identity theft.  I know that isn't your problem, but one of the safeguards he lists is to NOT pay anything with a debit card, just because it is a direct link to your money.  Very good book, which made us feel good because we are already being pretty darn careful with our personal info.

Have a great day!

Roland,
Your not the only one,,,,, only we were finally able to stop the bleeding.
In our case my wife ordered what she thought were free samples, but didn't read the "fine print" which stated that if you are not satisfied with the product,to return it in 2 or 3 weeks.
 
We went a couple of rounds over it. How can anything be FREE if they ask for payment info!!!!!!!

Hi everyone...just thought I'd let you know about a scam
we are in the middle of fighting...
shortly after I came home from surgery back in March...I
wasn't completely 'coherent' and impulsively signed up
'on line' for the weight loss/acaii berry system. When it
came in my wife immediately called in and canceled it
as the ads said you could.
Well..........we got screwed. The company 'selling' the products
continually bills our bank account-and even the bank officer
tried to talk to them on the phone-and was blown off!
It's been 8 months now and the charges are still coming on our
monthly statement-BECAUSE the scam company has a way
to get AROUND a block on the credit card-and have it auto-
deducted straight from the account! Last month we told the bank
to STOP it and get the state Attorney General's office in-this is
WIRE FRAUD...and suddenly the monthly charge is coming from
a new company in the UK!
So Sue is up there at the bank closing down the account-our
BUSINESS account...and if the bank can't prevent the spammer
from hacking into the NEW account-we have to change banks.
So...if any of you fell for the 'weight loss berry' scam-check your
bank accounts, because I had put it on a credit/debit card-and the
company knows how to get directly into YOUR bank account!
My medications are working now so I won't do this again...but
boy, am I in trouble with 'the boss' over this mess!
