Thumbs down Internet Scaming

There are 2 scams which I just noticed and are probably aimed at Seniors. The first is if you see a $1.00 charge on your credit card. It may be to test to see if you are watching you credit bills and if not you may start to see strange higher billings for other services and the $1.00 will be a scam as a subscription to something and you will receive charges in the future for this not approved for a subscription to something. Call the company and cancel immediately. The second is uploading. You are subscribing to a service and out of the blue you are seeing new charges on your bill for that service but higher charges for add ons you never wanted or specifically agreed to. Another is to add new subscriptions to your charge accounts under the same general name but new company names added to the basic to tie in to the original basic name. NET: Keep a close eye on any charges to you credit card account.
