I Scream FRAUD!

I stupidly bought into something kind of unknown online with Google Fortune/FunWebProfits, a way to make money, and agreed to pay $1.97 for information. I know it was stupid and rarely buy anything online. Ten days after the authorized charge they charged me $69.97 for who knows what. I called immediately to cancel and get a refund on the second charge, which they agreed to. There are many complaints. Another 10 days go by and I find an unauthorized charge of $29.95 from Altfunding.com which my bank credited me for. Five days later MyResource.com clips me for $24.95, and they don’t even seem to exist. I had to get a new debit card being mailed to my seasonal address, which the bank was not very cooperative about doing until I explained where I was, five hours from the nearest bank branch and seven hours from my permanent residence. I have to wait 30 days to see if FunWebProfits does credit my account before I can file a claim against them. I went to the Florida Better Business Bureau, where they do business, and filed a complaint. I could also file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center but upon reading their Privacy Policy (see I am learning) decided I didn’t want them to have that much access to my information.

It’s hard to believe that our private banking information can be passed around like this.

Please take heed and be extra careful when spending on a “money making” opportunity. I’ve learned another life lesson.
