I need your help Sports Maserati people. It is difficult to think logically sometimes when some company has just drained your bank account of £2100.
Story is this.
Wife likes to spend £6 a week on two lottery tickets but can't always get out to get them. She found through an offer she was emailed (Groupon she thinks) a website which enabled her to buy online her tickets. She put in her credit card details and thought no more about it. Shortly after this we then went to the US for two and a half months and she did not check her credit card statement until we returned last week. The company www.worldlotteryclub.com had increasingly billed her larger amounts each week, the most recent weeks was at a level of £147 per week.
She has no recollection of going on the site and authorising this. She contacted them five days ago and they replied that she had authorised the transactions. She then wrote back asking for proof. They have not replied to this email so she has now contacted the credit card company to dispute the charges.
I have looked at the site and I can see that it automatically bills you forever if you don't untick a box but I can't fathom out how they have the ability to increase the amount legally without her input. She swears she didn't do this and to be fair she is normally very cautious.
She has also now cancelled the relevant credit card so they cannot take any more money from it.
She was proper in the doghouse with me but maybe I am being unfair.
Can any of you guys please tell me if I am being too ******* her or whether this is a scam site.
She is not the first to be duped, he is one link I pulled up yesterday.........
