Go straight to your bank and tell them about the fraud and scam. Any reputable bank will immediately reverse the transaction and block them from trying it again. When you go, don't tell them every detail of your story. Just tell them the amount, date it happened, name of the scam company that was given to you, and tell them that you requested information on a free giveaway and they were supposed to charge you a 5.95$ processing fee. If you go into too much or give out too much info, you run the risk of the bank thinking YOU are the scammer. These scams are too common, and I guarantee you that the bank has heard of them before. GO NOW!! The more stink you make, the more likely you will get your way. If the bank says that they cannot reverse the transaction, they are lying and don't want to. Good luck
