This morning I had a call to tell me that my free skin sample was on it's way $4.95 shipping charge. Later I went to do banking on my computer and saw the 2 ammounts (above) The man had said to me that he wanted to send me another sample (this one was for a trial of a weight loss product Garcinia. I think.) At just the shipping cost for the first month. He said I could cancel at any time, just not too close to the next date (monthly) He gave me a phone number to ring between 11pm and 7am.(NZ) I keep getting told , after I have dialled, that the number cannot go through and talk to 'your service provider' I have done this and they cannot see a problem. (Slingshot) The number that I was told to ring if I wanted to cancel was 01284172108, Slingshot suggested to me that I should put two more 0's in front of the number.I did this and I still got the message (to talk to my provider) The first $4.95 has gone through, the above 2 ammounts are at the top of my statement with the wording Outstanding Transactions, I don't know how long that takes. I asked the bank to remove it before it goes through, but they can't. There are 2 ammounts, he only discussed one (Garcinia) so I don't know what the other item is. I googled it and found a list of the same problems as me. I have always been concerned about scams. I got truely caught out this time.Hope you can help, Audrey. (PS I am a pensioner so I cannot part with that much money,please and thank you)

  • Contact your bank IMEDIATELY and cancel your credit/debit card before these scammers help themselves to more of your money. This is the only way to stop these scammers from doing more unauthorised transactions. File a notification of disputed transaction with your bank so their fraud division can investigate the charges and hopefully reverse them before they are processed.
    Don't trust them to sort anything over the phone or email, they are just trying to keep you waiting in hope for a refund or resolution so they can access your account again and steal more money.
