3 charges of $38-$42 on my check card. I was suspicious something hit my check card when my available balance was down 120 or so dollars, and I hadn't paid for anything for weeks, or used the ATM. I was in Mexico, and didn't use my card once. Not for exchange into pesos, or anything. Didn't even open my wallet. But the money in my available balance went back to normal, and I was relieved that my bank fixed whatever happened. Then I check it today a week later and it's gone again, not just from available balance, but from the actual amount.
Company is connected to many online scams. I looked into where the charges came from and they were all porn sites, like the guy on the phone mentioned. I don't use my check card online besides on Amazon, but usually only for the ATM. Many people all over the internet have reported fraud, nobody ever updates saying they were successful or unsuccessful getting a refund. The man on the phone assured me this would be refunded in 7 or less business days. I asked him how sure he was, he said it's been working recently and they get complaints like mine all day long.
I was asked for my subscription ID, my email, all of this information, including the numbers on part of my check card. The card had no connection to an e-mail or person's name, so I gave him my e-mail address and I received 3 e-mails saying the memberships to these sites are cancelled, and they are sorry for the inconvenience and it will be refunded.
I will update on whether it's actually refunded or not. If I could have any help in bringing these sites down, I would appreciate it. The only way we can end this garbage is to somehow put it into the media or take legal action against the people actually responsible for stealing our information.
