    I have got my money several times, because I paid by credit card. There was a EHIC scam for about £10, so it doesn't have to over £100.


    Just curious: does anybody know whether the credit card company manages to get the money back after refunding me? Or do they just write off the loss?

    how can people fall for any advert on facebook?

    they are all obviously con tricks where you look at them.

    they might as well just advertise that they're a scam.

    i bet people would still click on them.

    It must still be profitable to run these scams despite the ease of getting refunded.
  • Hello Nadine, I fell for this having thought it was something the daily mail enforced. I contacted my trading standards who said that the laws out in America are different to our but I could try asking my bank. Which I did and they kindly refunded me and ensure that no other money was taken. Give it a try...........Good luck

    Enforced?

    I know the Daily Mail gets blamed for a lot of things, but surely they didn't force you to subscribe, did they?
  • Having been duped in the past with buying on line diet pills, I went to my local Health Food Shop and asked for the Raspberry Ketone pills. I paid £14.95 for a months supply and was given advice on the content of the pills and how they work.
  • Hi I was caught the same on the green tea diet ,the only way I could stop in end was to ring the bank and cancel my card. the number they leave is a waste of time they never answer the phone!
  • I to fell for this on facebook, it was fronted by Dawn french and Pauline Quirke, allegedly they lost loads of weight, they started taking money out of my account 2 days ago, fortunately i had only £40.00 in it, my bank assures me they can do a charge back to get my money back and will stop further payments, am so annoyed that i fell for it, i now of course realise that these 2 ladies have been used by the scammers to help them card details and rob folk!
