Total money lost $2.95
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I was contacted by telephone and told that if I took a short survey I would receive a $100 Walmart gift card. After the survey was over I was redirected to a customer service representative who told me if I paid for shipping ($2.95) I would receive my gift card in the mail along with a 15 day free trial of their website called The Data Locker. After the 15 day trial, if I did not cancel, they would charge me $9.95 a month. For what I don’t even know, because I received my "$100 gift card" in the mail, only to find that it is a $100 credit for rewards that I have to pay out of pocket for anyway. It also says on the card that I became a member on the 14th. It is now the 24th and they have already charged my card $9.95.. only 10 days later. I even tried to register my account on the website to see what it was all about, only to find that it was "under maintenance" which is what they told me when I called customer service. This is nothing but a scam!!
