Swipe Bids tHEY TOOK $150 from my credit card upon signing up—they say it is "listed" on the signup page and is the default amount to deduct. - I called them and then they say I have to PARTICIPATE in bidding f

I followed an add in Facebook to an internet company that offers cheap 1 cent bidding for prizes. Gave my credit card number as security to be able to bid.
(The assumption is that I'll bid pennies. Like the ad says.

Well they immediately (without warning) without any pre-charging notices, whacked my card for $150.00
I called the customer service bank of operators 5 times. And got the shove off, and its our policy speeches from each. Very well trained to handle this.

I have to now file fraud charges with my bank. Cancel the credit card etc...
I can see if they charge 1 million people $150... And keep the money for 30 days or longer. This will generate a huge fortune in interest for these creeps.
I have to say this is very cleverly designed to take and keep peoples money.
