Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was made to believe that Amazon was offering a $1,000. gift card for use at Amazon. I entered the website by having to choose various businesses of which I had to choose trial memberships with various companies to earn the gift card. This continued page after page of trial memberships until I was asked to chose eight businesses from one page. At this point I saw the unreasonableness of the requirement and that I had fallen for a scam. Businesses offering trial memberships were Experion and Ultraforeclosures.com. I found out this morning the latter company had submitted a $69. bill to my bank account, which, of course, they honored. I don’t know if Amazon knows this is going on but I am going to call them.
