Lottery Scams.....

Joalaneil

Has anyone else been getting these infuriating e mail scams? i don't know how they can get away with it, i was, at first taken in by it, but i soon wised up, it is so cruel to do that especially if someone like me, hadn't cottoned on, and by then bank details have been given, i am so relieved i never did anything like that, so if you have not had any, be warned, there are loads. :mad:

Can anyone help me please? I signed up to an on-line lottery syndicate (I know, I know) but the web sites that I looked at did say it was good), and pay fortnightly by credit card. I have tried to cancel my subscription, but the company doesn't respond. The credit card company says that they can only dispute the transactions but not stop them. Anyone got any suggestions please?

Cancel the credit card ?

Thanks Raymond, thought of that, but they won't let me open another account for six months, and it's one of the better money back cards. What if report it lost? Will that give me another number so they can't keep taking the money?

Yes that should work fine unless it has been set up as a direct debit

Thanks, I'll do that then.
