Several months ago, I noticed that my bank debit card had recurring monthly charges of $9.99 from an outfit called Great Fun.By clicking on a "Save 10% on this order" when ordering online, I had subscribed to the service. They sent me an email giving me the registration number, but the number was invalid, and I was never able to sue the service (if they really have any.)
I got this straightened out at the bank, and have now found the same charges on a credit card from another bank. I have notified them that this is a fraudulent charge, and to not pay it in the future. I doubt they will be able to get any refunded.
In short, I probably threw away $240 last year on those two accounts, simply because I did not read my statements carefully.
Don't make the same mistake.
