Hey, I to was a gullable victim of the "$1.98 Grant Funding CD Scam". It sounded legit as it was a link posted on a site when I was looking to apply for unemployment. I never got a confirmation # via e-mail like promised, so weeks later when I had not recieved a CD, I checked my on-line bank statement to see if I had been charged. Well not only was I charged the $1.98, I was also charged $3.99 for a DBW *E-BOOK-BUY HOME??? I contacted my bank and they gave me a number to contact to dispute the charges and, or cancel my "so-called subscription". I called the number the bank gave me (1-866-315-3967) and actually got a representative on the phone. I was able to cancel my "so-called subscription", but they refused to reimburse me for the unauthorized chg. Of $3.99 due to my neglect of reading "the fine print"! What fine print!? What the f*#* ever! The bank advised me that after doing so if I continued to be CHARGED by this company that it would be in my best interest to cancel my debit card and apply for a new one! The best they could do on their end was to flag my account that DBW is unauthorized by me of any new charges in the future.in other words, I had no recourse for reimbursement directly from my bank! (After reading the complaint board it seems I got off easy compared to other victims!) It has been ten days since calling and I have not been charged anymore... Yet... Hmmm... IT BLOWS MY MIND HOW EASY IT IS TO BE SCAMMED! Yikes!!! I hope this number will help in getting to the bottom of your plight.
Take care and GOOD LUCK!
Sincerely Yours, Fellow SCAMMEE,
