About a year ago this same company, Newsmax Media was charging my credit card between 20 and 30 dollars a month for I dont know what. It took me a long time to even figure out who they were. They said I ordered some magazine online. I did not. I do not have time to read magazines and I do not get magazines. It took them 3 or 4 months before they quit charging me.
Again this month I noticed them charging me $49.50. They said this is for the "Franklin Prosperity Report". I told them I do not want or know what it is, have never seen one and not to charge me. I found out that I ordered a book for FREE but paid the shipping charges of $4.95 and that is how they got my credit card to charge me.
The first three times I called them I got hung up on. The fourth time I was on hold nearly 20 minutes. I believe this company gets your credit card number and info from other sources then makes up some bogus charge to charge you for without your consent or without you realizing that they are gonig to do this.

It is very important that we learn something from this. When we receive information from strangers and they want any part of our personal information, no matter what the circumstances, we should not provide them with any information such as social security number, credit card, etc... Just remember that they are people that wake up every day trying to find ways to scam and hurt others.
We as consumers should protect ourselves. I should know because I have been scammed before and it has taken years to clean up the mess that was left behind. I know that most of you are saying that you already know what I am telling you but somehow we let our guard down when we are confronted with various circumstances or should I say sales pitch garbage that these swindlers and con artist present us with. We have to think like those criminals for a moment when we are faced with a transaction and protect ourselves and our family at all cost.
