I purchased a gift on Facebook for a friend. It was a Starbucks e-gift card for the amount I approved, which was only $25.00. When I checked my Visa purchases by phone later that night after work, they had charged me not once but four times at $25.00 each. I did buy only one, so they charged an extra $75.00 to my Visa.
I called my card company, and they said until the person redeems the e-card, but that might be some time. When I sent my friend the gift, I thought he was back from Afghanistan. He is in the military and I have known him for over 25 years, so I know he likes his coffee. I was unaware he was still there, and it might be some time before he can use it. I want him to have the one at $25.00, but I did not buy the additional three that were charged to my card.
I am a single mother of two teenagers, and the $75.00 that was charged to my card without my approval could help buy food for my family. I have emailed Facebook and the coffee place. What can I do to get my money back? Please, I beg of you, a mom trying to make ends meet. Help, help, help, help.
