Please note: Novice users BEWARE! I now know about website pop ups and not to respond to them. I was given a link to the site Amish Donkey through an email a mate sent me.
When I got on there I discovered I was the 1,000, 000th visitor to this site and had won a prize. I rang the phone number before the timer ran out to to claim my prize. I was told for a contribution of $568 I had won a holiday package valued at $1000s.
These pr$#ks are professionals. After discussing the package and all the extra features they were giving me I wasn, t sure I could afford transport costs etc. I was put through to someone else who told me I could bring 2 other friends, an extra 5nights at a new resort of theirs plus a Bahamas Cruise all meals entertainment included if I reserved it that day. Before getting my credit card details I asked if it was refundable if I was unable to go. He told I had 30 days to reverse the transaction.
They told me they would email me after i got off the phone and gave me their website to log on to. When I looked it up on my computer I found out it was a scam thank you JAY in Rotorua who made a rippoff report.
I rang them back straight away to cancel and get refund, but was told they were all busy and they would email me or ring me back. They didn't email me but they rang to see what I wanted I told them I wanted to be refunded. They basically wouldn't put through my reqeust.
Today I went to the bank and filled in a deputes claim against the charge. Thank You for the advice Rippoff report. If I wasn't so STUPID I would have relized it was a scam. Hindsight a wonderful thing. Does anyone know what the chances are of geting my hard earned money back?
