I received a voice mail message from the fraud prevention people at my credit card today regarding an unusual transaction. I also received a VM from Raven Media, asking if I had any questions about the software I'd purchased from them, the Google Money Profit CD. Huh? Curious to get these 2 calls on the same day!
I tried the credit card company first, but the line was busy. I then spent a very interesting 20 minutes on the phone with Raven Media, who assured me I HAD, indeed, purchased their CD.
No, I didn't.
Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
You must have.
I didn't.
Don't worry -- I'll take the charges off your card.
Finally talked to credit card company. Interestingly, the very small amount billed for this product (less than $2.00) had raised an immediate red flag with the fraud department. They cancelled the card immediately.
Raven Media is a scam. It's a scam if you don't buy their products knwoingly, but it also seems to be a scam if you do. Beware!
