Matt DC, I hope you're joking about checking who started the thread cos you should hand over your badge if you really did so. Very uncool.

Yes, Matt, if you were joking, that was a terrible and irresponsible thing to do. But if you were not joking, FFS, please share with the class. ;-)

sigh, it took me 5 months to stop a porn site from taking the monthly fee from my credit card, my first step was to go via their website. alas they never sent me any email reguarding my signup (which was very late at night in a very drug induced time) email to webmaster came back saying they dont have me on record, trying to put in some code never worked, and they did it so you had to enter two types of information and alas you could only ever get one, so no way of stopping it thur the website

Then was off to the banks, to9ld them the story, (short of porn site only because it is beside the point) had to fill out forms, but that was a hassel, as its wasnt a non recieved item and it wasnt a disputered transaction. i had to fill out the same form 3 times over a few weeks, i talked to 2 guys on the phone, and the while time every month the payemnt was still coming out. The bank said they couldnt contact them, and then finally after a few more month the payments stopped and visa gavem me back a few months from what the porn site took from me,

and the good news was that i was downloading full movies right up to the point where my subscription ended hahaha....

TIP for all you guys who dont know, sign up for every porn site, i mean yearly subscriptions, then go into the bank the next day tell them, that you have no idea what this is, it will take the banks months to stop it, you can keep using the porn site right up until the end and then you get your money back because you stepped up and said you dont know what this is right away :) easy hey, now i do it for fun, because visa always gives me the money back hahahah

why didn't you just cancel the card or say you'd lost it?

Fabulous thread. So did Matt DC really check out who the thread starter was?
