Online Retailer - Fake Giveaway Scam Report
Online Retailer - Fake Giveaway Scam Report
Description :
I went to a website advertising a contest for a prize giveaway of electronics equipment. I did an online lottery game and was advised that I won an item. All I had to do was pay $9 shipping and handling. I submitted the cost for shipping and handling using my credit card. I provided my email address, but the company never emailed me a receipt for the purchase. When I looked at the credit card statement the following day, I saw the alleged $9 shipping and handling charges PLUS and additional charge of $129 for some crystalized toothpaste powder that I didn't order. I called my credit card company, and they verified that that was indeed a scammer. I had to report it to the fraud department, freeze my account, cancel my credit card and now I have to wait for them to issue me a new card. Then, I have to formally dispute the charges through their fraud department.
