It gets worse but thanks to someone special it gets better

It got worse when I opened up the statement from my credit card supplier.

2 transactions have taken place. I am going to name the companies here. ClubPremiere and VP Rewards. These companies (both with the same telephone number) deducted £9.95 from my account.

These transactions took place without my consent and when I rang the credit card supplier, saying that I did not authorise these payments they told me to ring the companies. I got one of those speaking options things. I tried putting in my details but the machine kept saying it could not identify the details. Well the company fekkin well identified my card number from somewhere, well enough to take money from the account!!!!

I did however, get a final option to email both companies.

I rang the local police station and explained what had happened. They said, it definately sounds like fraud and alot of this sort of thing is going on. They gave me a reference number and told me to put that in the emails I sent to the companies with confirmation that I had not willingly subscribed to anything and want my subscription stopped. They also advised me to contact my credit card supplier and ask for a new card with a new number.

I duly did this but the customer service person said that would not automatically stop payments going though. I said I had e:mailed both companies confirming I wanted subscriptions cancelled as of today. That may not stop the companies getting money from my account though. Not until next month's statement, will I know whether or not the companies have continued to take money from my account. Only then, and if the companies are still taking money (unauthorised by me) can I send the copies of the e:mails to the credit card supplier who will then act on them. So, at present I am paying back money to my credit card supplier for monies deducted that I did not authorise.

I rang back the police and said I thought that was unfair. The constable agreed but said if that is your credit card supplier's policy it has to be followed.

I sense that this scam is being run from some room somewhere and even the email addresses I have been given are a scam so is likely that more money will be deducted from my account next month.

At which point, I will be writing a letter to my credit card company saying I want all payments made to this company reimbursed and that I feel there has been a level of coersion from the credit card company in this scam.

Then it got better. As in I received a parcel and when I opened it, it was packed with lovely surprises. I got some soothing slumber smellies, A thai spa scented pillow, a diary (which is essential because I never know from one day to the next what I am supposed to be doing) and some Turkish Delight. How amazing, kind and thoughtful. I won't embarass the person by naming them but they can rest assured that all will be put to very good use and I am cock a hoot full of fluffiness and if they were here right now I would give them a massive hug. They have made my day :>)
