April 3, 2009.
My husband paid (or so he thought) $1.95, on my credit card, for supposed information on how Canadians could get more money from the Government, it was an ad running along the side of Facebook, with Prime Minister Harper holding a cheque. Thinking that maybe we didn't know something that could help us, we ordered this $1.95 information. This particular website looked very ligitimate and had been running quite a while.
I noticed a day later, that my credit card had been charged $74.34, I tried to get a hold of an agent, but was told to chat live with an agent on the internet, so I tried that, with NO success, finally after 2 hours, I got a hold of someone. She said that after 24 hours they charge you for a full membership???
I explained that we just wanted the $1.95 information, not a membership! Now I am not very hopeful that I will EVER see this money!!
I called my bank to inform them and they said to call them back and tell them to take my credit card number off their database and to get a confirmation number from them, when I called back (which took forever again) THE SAME LADY ANSWERED, what are the chances of the same person answering an extremely busy line, which tells you to hold for the next live agent (because all their agents are busy) or simply go to their website: VAAOP.com.
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE SAVES SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS TO WATCH THEIR PENNIES, NOT TO MAKE THE SAME STUPID MISTAKE WE DID!! HEADACHES!!!
