I went looking for some ebooks and they conned me
Into giving them my debit card number, saying they
WOULD NOT CHARGE MY ACCOUNT, this was just
To verify that I was 18 years old or more. I thought,
Ok, the site looks fairly legitimate. 2 days later I saw
That they had placed holds for $2.99, $1.02, and $1.00.
I called my bank and told them I had given my debit
Card number to a scammer, and to not let them put
Any more payment authorizations on my account
Because they have no authorization from me at all,
And these people need to be blacklisted by your bank.
Ok, I thought it was taken care of, but 2 days later I
Saw where they had put a $39.99 payment authorization
On my account! I thought I was protected from them
Charging me anything more after talking to the bank
Previously. Apparently not. My fault though. I should
Had canceled that debit card after those small charges,
But I had just recently received this debit card when the
Old one expired. And I liked the graphics on the card!
So by being vain about the cool graphics on my new
Card, I took the chance that I didn't need to just go
Ahead and cancel the dang card, and it cost me.
Hopefully my bank will have pity on my dumb azz
And take care of this mess for me. It's a good bank
That always has my back when I screw up. Capital
One. They advised me to cancel that card the first
Time I called them about the smaller charges. But
No, I didn't want to bother with all that. Serves me right:)

Also note, this scam outfit uses several slightly different
Names for their scam websites. There is mediabak.com,
mediahitt.com, and others I saw when I was googling
Information on these thieves. They are all the same scammers
Operating out of Wilmington Delaware and Montreal Quebec.
