UPDATING A POST ABOUT SCAMS ON THE INTERNET UPDATING A POST ABOUT SCAMS ON THE INTERNET... I received my new bank statement a couple of days ago, and was happy to see that all the money that these creeps took from me has been returned as credits in my account..HAPPY DAYS... Double checking bank and invoice statements Posted:May 12, 2015 5:53 am Last Updated:May 27, 2015 4:16 am 751 Views Double checking bank and invoice statements Yesterday I needed to waste most of the day by traveling to one of the banks where I do business to find out what the heck a recurring payment WAS that has been on my bank statements four times. As in keeping with those shysters that scam us in every way possible, the amount of the recurring payment wasn't very much. It was only $12.95 but I'd paid it four times.... Aside from some numbers and abbreviations, and a notation, "free shipping", there was no way for me to determine what IT was. When the amount first appeared on my bank statement, the notation of "free shipping" had me at first glance believing it was related to something I'd bought on line, because I buy a lot of things on line. Because of that notation of "free shipping", I let that $12.95 slip through my attention four times.... Yesterday morning, I finally made up my mind to find out exactly what that small amount of green "they" were<b> bleeding </font></b>out of me WAS, and I traveled in person to my bank where the statement had come from--with the physical, printed out statement, in hand. Well, it turned out I had been scammed out of a total of 4 times $12.95 or $51.80. The scam was pretty shrewd, and had something to do with giving credits on things ordered online, and supposedly giving free shipping on certain items. I didn't bother to go through all the legal mumble jumble relating to a box on my computer that I had checked by mistake that allowed this shyster company to take advantage of my not paying attention to what I'd checked. I hadn't received anything for the $51.80 this scamster had ripped out of my wallet, but I DID end the bloodletting, and got an email of confirmation that the scam was ended. I know many people who won't shop online because of the risk this sort of shady business creates when using online shopping. Besides this stolen $51.80, I've been scammed out of other small sums in the past. But I still use the internet for ordering many things on line, and in total, I've saved much more of the hard to keep GREEN than I've been tricked into giving up... What about you guys? Do you use your computer to order things online? If so have you been scammed? by david stardust   |

Your words are those of a wise and experienced shopper.. I really didn't think I'd get the money back, but the small local bank that I use for internet shopping with a prepaid debit card, has been more than helpful in some of the small problems I've had in the past, and once again with this little matter. I have some accounts in other distant, large banks...but I enjoy the interaction in this small local bank that's situated on my way to the Post Office, and where the girls working there all know me and joke with me. Thank you always, for leaving me comments.. david
