chargeback time. a little lesson to double check provider's domain age before putting order, if in doubt it's a good idea to ask in let first

kuticon

Call your bank and tell them that's an unauthorized transaction/fraud, they will help you to do a chargeback. Next time you should use Paypal for all those too-good-to-be-true offers. It will be much easier to dispute since Paypal has a 180 days policy.

I think what happened is they put a 80$ charge to make sure you have that amount on your card.. then they refund it , Oracle did that to me for 100$ and refunded it .. you should just avoid free trial stuff like those.. Oracle is probably the only one that you can use without getting charged for

@tiendungdev

Thank you, this website is 100% scam, I contacted the bank and waited for them to process, but it seems very difficult to get my money back

Do you have an email with a copy of the $50 invoice or the $20 invoice attached? They may be useful for chargebacks.

Haha.

If you try to pay, your entire account will be lost, unless you run out of money

No, only $1 invoice sent to email. The damn bank I use doesn't even check this information, that's really stupid

Scammers know this. In the end bank will cover this from their own pocket. Scammers got money and that's it.

This is, so they can argue with paypal when needed and have a valid invoice. They can claim that agreement was 1 usd first and rest of the payment week after.

Omg ! These morons are professionals at cheating, and their website looks authentic at first sight. It will be easy if you pay using a credit card. For a debit card, it will be very difficult to get back the money. Besides the bank, contact the payment gateway provider (Stripe) so they can hold the balance if they have not released the fund yet.

Yea would recommend you contact Stripe too, from my experience Stripe holds in money for around 3-9 days even after initiating the withdrawal.
