Healthydiscountcard Ripoff Bait & Switch Ripoff $1 Music or Game Dowload Subscription Leads to Bogus Health Info Site Charges of $100 every 2 weeks!! Internet
It started with a Comcast Tech. Support guy telling me I needed Flash Player. When I accessed that site I got a pop-up offering free downloads of music or games (I can't remember now...I'd only been on Internet a week & was stupid) & to get the service you had to subscribe for $1/month. So I signed up. (duh)
Today I received my charge card statement & it shows 2 charges from healthydiscountcard. The 1st for $59.95 & the second $99.95.I tried healthydiscountcard.com & up came the site. Its a health information subscription service! It listed a $59.95 charge & notified me that it would start charging my credit card $99.95 every 2 weeks!!
My credit card company is filing my complaint & not going to make me pay the 1st 2 charges or interest. But they recommended that I try, somehow, to contact them to stop future charges. I think I might have to cancel that credit card now.
