On Wednesday 19th October I decided to purchase an online trial market package for US$2.45. I took a look at this package and decided it wasn't for me. Too complicated and the Information provided wasn't straight forward at all. The following Wednesday 26 October. I got an alert from my Westpac Bank on my mobile phone, stating a credit card transaction had just happened for the total amount of US$37.84.in New Zealand dollars $29.95. I did not authorise this transaction. So I phoned my Bank and enquired into which company made the transaction with out my permission. Customer service informed me: NETHOSTASSN.com and FACE BOOK the game FARMVILLE, had both made money withdraw transaction's. FACE BOOK the game FARMVILLE withdrew US$60.00.in the end I agreed to have a new Visa Card sent out to me which costed me NZ$15.00. So in that 1 day I lost out on just over US$100.00. From now on before I purchase anything from the Internet, I will be checking Craig's List before purchasing anything, or joining any market scams. Beware people!!!
