I was charged almost $200 for tapping on the offered ~$16/mo. charge pop-up (the annual-at-once charge was in tiny print, that I only saw too late) that I received after an “e-mail” from someone that seemed reasonable to speak with.

Problem: there WAS NO e-mail from that person, just marketing material from this scam, scumbag company.

I intend to report them to the California Attorney General. Suggest you do the same if you’ve been scammed by them.

Thanks, guys!

i am just looking for a special man to be there for me..when i get back i would like us to hang out and know more about each other..But i am worried right now because the seminar had already been concluded but something happened thats causing delays on my flight back,What happened is that when i tried to reschedule my flight,the airline agent told me that i don’t have enough funds on my debit card,so i had to contact my bank since i knew the funds i left there and when the reports came i was told that i purchased some phones which i never did, Now the airline agent is insisting i gets the remaining funds before my flight can be scheduled,so sorry this happened before we met. i called my bank that issued the card and all they told me was that someone must have hacked my card and an identity theft was placed on my card and the investigation would be on when i get back ,it shouldn’t take more than 2days to refund my money but i have to be home, i have already used the remaining cash i have to settle the hotel bills and pay a deposit with the airline agent ..i have less than $10 with me here and i have to pay a balance of $650 to the airline agent so they can book me on a next flight out if i can get some help in anyway even if its a short loan,i will refund it ..just to get my account reactivated..i cant get stuck out here..its too risky for me,if you would be able to help me out on this i will forever be grateful and you will never be disappointed even if its important i have to refund it and i swear on my late fathers Grave never to let you down..when i have the flight fully booked if you help me out i will send you a copy of the flight details so you will know the exact time the plane lands in the states and i will appreciate if you could come pick me up at the airport when i arrive .

Oh I don’t know how I am going to find a Western Union, I am out of the office this week, OK next idea - what airline are you flying, you said you have a deposit on a flight home, from London to where, give me all that info and I will go on line and pay the ticket.
* when you send me that info, I’m going to check the other airlines to see if I can find a better deal to get you home. Maybe I can use some of my flight miles.
Like I said of all days——–!!!

What airline are you flying, you said you have a deposit on a flight home, give me all that info and I will fix your ticket!
After you send me that info, I’m going to check the other airlines to see if I can find a better deal to get you home. Here is your way home.
I understand you are having a rough day, I’m not having a good day either —
