I download my bank transactions everyday, and noticed a pending debit from DRI*Element5.com. Since I keep very good records and am careful about online purchases, I know this is not a company that I have done business with before.
I checked on the internet by putting in this company name and it led me to this website complaint and realized this company is a fraud. I called my bank and made a fraud report.
The Bank indicated that the charge of $29.95 will go through and after they have investigated the matter, if they can substantiate this is a fraud, they'll credit my account the $29.95.
I find this very upsetting, and am glad that I check my bank accounts and credit card statements all the time. I know so many people who never check their accounts or credit card history, which leads me to believe that this scam probably makes a lot of money off of honest but negligent consumers.
I'm also going to make a fraud report with my local Sheriff's Department!
