Type of a scam Online Purchase

I received a survey that appeared to be from Costco. You fill out the survey and are to choose from a list of items as a free gift, you pay s/h only. I ordered the CBD oil ( Inner tranquil) and not following the site, I inadvertently purchased two more products. I called the customer number after to remove them two items, which they did. At that time she informed me this was a subscription that I would be charged for in 14 days. I was surprised and meant to call. I forgot and sure enough, a $93 charge came on day 14 of when the purchase was made. At first they would do no refunds, only a discount on further purchases. After many calls to figure out who sold the product, customer service offered me a 30% refund, that I have yet to receive. They showed me the website that clearly states the subscription price, this was not what I was presented with. Going back, I found the files and they were still offering the survey but with a different brand of CBD oil. Same thing, no indication of any charge. I called Costco who recognized that the e-mail address it was from was not there’s and that it was a scam. Now they are calling it Pure SX CBD oil.

Type of a scam Other

I got a call asking me did I want to complete a survey. Not sure of the nature, I said why not(not no or yes answer). Person(woman) hung up. I called the number back twice, no answer. Sent a text to the number saying good luck…they are going to get turned down for stuff every time because my credit is so bad they won’t qualify for a loan for penny candy.??????

Total money lost $900

Type of a scam Employment

This is a website that has people fill out surveys with the promise of payouts once you reach $700 worth of completed surveys. I reached over $900 and asked to be paid out several times. The money was never sent and after I emailed them stating that I had not been paid and asking what the problem was, my account was deleted.
