I noticed a debit card charge for $37.50 to "RETAILDISCOUNTS 888-6983849 NY". I had never heard of them and had never given them any money, so I called my bank and reported it as a scam. The bank told me that the money went to Retail Discount Shop, aka Castle Club Rewards, LLC. I left a message with Retail Discount Shop and they called me back the next day. I told them I had reported them as a scam, and they sent me this email:

"After placing your order with PartsGeek.com you were presented with an opportunity to join our club. We are a leading online rewards program that provides our members with exclusive discounts, rebates & price savings.  With over 250,000 local and regional retail merchants to choose from, you are sure to be able to find incredible price savings and discounts all across the country.

We have cancelled your membership and issued a $37.50 refund.  Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect on your statement. If there is anything else we can do for you please let us know."
I certainly never intended to give them any money. I suspect that after I ordered some car parts from Parts Geek, a window appeared asking if I wanted some coupons, and I failed to uncheck the box. It was definitely not clear that I would have to pay anyone any money. I don't know if Parts Geek is even part of this scam, but I will never order from them again.
