Scams

After about 2 hours of phonecalls and no progress, I broke down into tears of frustration and anger today. I got scammed. If you've ever been scammed in your life you likely know how I feel. So now I've got to drive down to my parents tomorrow and deal with this situation with the bank. Sweet. Just how I wanted to spend my Saturday. If you've ever heard of "Bar Careers" just ignore it. I, being the typical stupid human being, fell into this cortex of belief. Let me start this out for you:

A couple weeks ago, I called this 800 number in hopes of getting something good. I talked to a friendly lady named Debbi Knight. And she made this sound good right? Well, even though I said I didn't want to do it, she wasn't having any of that. She MADE me go through with it. Said I could cancel if I wanted to later or I could change the date to a further time, whenever it was convenient for me. I said, well fine, whatever. Gave her my debit card number, yes I'm that stupid, and made everything final. After all that, I had information handy for me to access if I wanted to call up Customer Service and cancel the program. Well, I've been trying to call for 2 days and I got nothing - no one answered! Go figure. I even called the people to sign up to see what the deal was and the guy hung up on me! So then I called my bank to have them "hot card" my debit card. So it no longer works for now. I'm getting a new one soon though. But either way, they've put a "hold" on the amount I'm being charged so either way its supposed to go through. Just my luck. However, now I've got to go down to Neosho tomorrow morning to "dispute" the situation and get my money back...or keep it...whatever. Fun fun.

So my advice is, don't let someone scam you. If they start forcing whatever it is upon you, just hang up/leave...wherever the situation arises! I learned my lesson, thats for sure.
