I have just checked my bank account and see 2 withdrawals for £33.65 that were unauthorised. I searched Google (oh the irony) and realised that I have just been the victim of a scam involving emillionaire. You sign up for £1.99 and receive an email that bulls you up, telling you that this is a wonderful idea blah blah blah - then asks you for approx £300 to continue - so the obvious next thing to do is close the email and choose not to. After all, it's only cost you £1.99 so you don't miss it right?
What you have just done is give your card details to a complete stranger who then accesses your account and takes around £30 whenever he likes. It's not just the UK, this is Worldwide - he prays on innocent people who are just desperate enough to chance advice from someone called emillionnaire! I intend totake this further, and I, like other victims, am furious that while the bank investigate the fraud, I am out of pocket.
