Um, no thanks.

So I just looked at my credit card statement and saw that there was a charge for $39.99 US on it. Um, no. I haven't made any charges like that. I called the number and talked to a very nice lady and it was a porn site that was charging me $40 US (about $49 Canadian) for my monthly membership.

What monthly membership? Stupid porn sites *kicks it*.

Now I'm glad I phoned and got it canceled, because now I can get mum a Christmas present. :)

It pays to look at stuff like that. I've been getting a magazine, Travel + Leisure for months now. I figured someone gave me a gift subscription but neglected to tell me. Hey, I'm an optimist. But recently I looked at a statement, and there it was, subscription to T + L, $40. Thank goodness they include a phone number!! It is now so cancelled!!

Wow, that's not right. How'd they get you hooked up in the first place? *is confused*

[yellow-oranges.livejournal.com]

I honestly have no idea!

Oh my sweet God, quailquill, I LOVE your icon! I remember seeing Troy and thinking "Damn, I wish I was that horse!"

And Bonnie, you little horn dog. Tsk tsk. :D

Why thank you!! It was funny, I was only moderately interested in that picture when I was originally downloading it until HELLO, THIGHS!! o_O

Well ... YEAH. Unless it's Orlando or Jake porn (unlikely), I can't imagine ...

[leggyslove.livejournal.com]

Sadly it wasn't. :( Oh well.

My god!
That is def. dodgy.
How the hell do they do that?

Lucky you got it fixed.
Can you imagine not knowing that and paying for it for a year.
Bad bad!

LOL Well they probably wouldn't have gotten far, since I was pretty much over my limit. Still, it was surprising to see. I wish I knew, then I could have gotten free porn. *tear* LOL

Always look on the bright side, eh?

Yikes. You need to be carefull with this kind of stuff. If they know your card number, they could try to do the same thing again. So I'd suggest you talk to your card company and get another card.
I know I'm really paranoid about this, but...

Well - or check your statement every two days, to catch them on time :)

[leggyslove.livejournal.com]

I know how they got my number, so I'm not too worried about it being used again, but I think I still want to get another card.

Yeah right liar!!!!! You so ordered that porn!!!

PORN FIEND!!! PORN FIEND!!!!!!!

[leggyslove.livejournal.com]

I did buy a 3 day membership for $1.99, but I didn't want a monthly thing

YOU LIE!!!!

I have had that happen before. I tend to log into my bank account to check my available balance, but also to see what went through. When I was living in Seattle, this one time I logged on and there was a charge for a place (cannot remember what it was, I think it was something to do with surfing) in California. I have never been to California, so I knew it was a mistake. Good thing I caught that.

[leggyslove.livejournal.com]

Surfing? Lol how random.

[shutterbug7.livejournal.com]

It was random.

I think it was for rental equipment, now that I think about it. I would love to learn how to surf, but I didn't have the money to learn it at the time and in Seattle you do not surf, but of course that was in California. It was weird.
