Thumbs up another scam thru amazon

There's a popup or ad at some sites. Increase testosterone naturaly.The pills do make you shave everyday,but the sell a nitric acid booster with it.Its say's free for both pay shipping.But in 20 days they will charge your card $89. for a second order.
Yes you can refuse payment with a card and get charges took off.
So many lying,cheating arse's on the net.
Oh yeah you can wear short pants when taking it,hard to walk sometimes too.

If I could reach thru the phone on some of the calls my dad gets during the day ,its a shame that the generation that built this country through some of its toughest times has to know deal with under handed crooks.
When your talking about websites their is someone who sets up shop on CL, the rv listings youll view seem like real bargains ,the trick to the scam is through emails since no phone number is given ,from their I can only imagine its something along the lines of cash or banking account info .
If they wanted to broadcast some good honest reality tv they could start by rescamming this trash and watch them cry their belittled selves into court with the internet watching the procedings .Scammers are themselves theives and are just like those who sneek into houses to steal electronics ,the objective is the same,.If the law looked at prosicution along these lines and stiffer penealties that follow alot of gangs who use this type of revenue could be out of business.

There are no popup ads on Amazon, you probably picked up some malware somewhere.

I'm sorry but yeah, you probably caught something.

You could pay for Kaspersky to get rid of the malware.

Or you can get rid of it for free. You should try to restore your computer. Copy all of your important files onto a USB stick, then tell your windows machine to "restore computer".

That way any spyware or adware will be wiped clean.


You may want to closely monitor your bank account as well, a lot of these folks will STILL charge you after you refuse recurring payments.

Report the card "lost or stolen". Get a new card with a new number. Your card is compromised and it might lead to more problems.

I don't have a Cell Phone and I let the answering machine take any Calls which I don't answser unless I hear someone I know on the line.

Anything on the web or phone that asks me for my information does not get answered.

My problem with Amazon is that every time I buy something from them I get charged for a prime membership and a charge shows up on my credit card. Then I have to call them and tell them to cancel that membership and remove the charge. They must believe most people won't complain.

Exactly, it is all in the wording.
If they said first month free I would assume it is for a member ship that has a duration. When it says thirty day free trial, that does not imply that I have signed up for any membership that lasts longer than thirty days.
Also on Amazon, they must get paid for allowing others to see what you have been shopping for. I searched for SCUBA equipment for a family member on amazon ONE time, guess what pops up the next time I visit PeachParts.

Weird, prime membership costs me $100/year and everything we buy on Amazon gives us 5% back. It more than pays for itself. Not to mention the free shipping, tax free purchases from 3rd parties, warehouse deals and prime video which is included.

Your problem was Facebook clickbait ads, not Amazon.

My prime membership way more than pays for itself.
