Wanna heard a good one about Visa & Mastercard...
 

Listen to that one it worth 3 sec of your time...

I just got a 24,95$ charge on my credit card from "Card registry service" So I deceided to call Mastercard to see what was going on since I knew I never ordered this service. Master call told me to contact the merchant directly since they can't do nothing... (as usual)

After calling the merchant they told me that I was registrated to their card protection service since I cashed a 5$ check 1 month ago... I remember that I cashed the check since it was looking like a reward check from Mastercard (Mastercard logo, text like here is your reward etc etc ). Trust me I'm quite good to avoid scam like this so the fine print was probably a single line that can only be read with a microscope.... So I ask them of refunding me about this charge or complaining about it. Of course they agree to refund me: 19,95$ since I already cashed the 5$...

The best part is that I asked them where they got my credit card numbers and it seems they got their credit numbers directly from Mastercard and visa!! So this company is a front run by Visa and Mastercard to run scam like this... the same companies that are asking us to keep our chargeback under 1% ratio....

I'm pissed off :mad:

Sounds about right..

These fuckers are worried about Porn Sites and
they run more fucking scams then anyone.

Yeah thats why Visa and Mastercard have been getting pissy.. they don't like anyone infringing on their turf. :BangBang:

that's true

:BangBang:

tottally fucking true

Simply crazy .. anyone know where we can complain about that?

You cashed the check and agreed to be charged. Not anyone else's fault

Hehe, lets send out a few $5 checks with a $25 porn recurring membership and see how it goes then eh?

That's fucking true.. sad but true..

Samuel:BangBang:

Why porn? Thats asking for trouble. Mainstream companies do this ALL the time. Every credit card statement i get includes checks that clearly say if I cash the check I will be signed up for some service.

Edit: eh?

Damn...that's why I use prepaid credit cards.

Just try opting out of the books you get in the mail for free

credit cards... 'll always make me laugh :)

that's bullshit... credit card companies are all evil!

I would try calling them and doing a chargeback...

... just for kicks...

BIG B

LOL Fred got owned! :thumbsup

My main point is that it should be criminal for credit card company to pass credit card information to 3th party for scam like that.... So what is next, bank giving your checking account info to 3th party??

i remember getting the exact same "fake check" a while ago too

but i threw it in the garbage :)

lol
i like those stories :)

good choice.
