I am not talking airline points, I am talking about the recurring charges that get added to your credit card bill for a service you signed up for automatically when purchasing something online. The click here to save $10 button. Of course to save $10 you need to subscribe to the $24.95 per month program, the details of which where not clear. This started before I did so here is a reference to read more about it here. http://www.trap17.com/index.php/reservation-rewards-scam33_t56496.html and http://www.creditcardguide.com/creditcards/news/victim-stealth-credit-card-fraud-131/
Picture taken from http://therandomizer.wordpress.com/2007/11/16/scammed-a-108-lesson-on-online-theft/. ( hope he doesn't mind)
Personally I am still trying to recover the funds taken from my credit card. My wife clicks every damn button.
To protect yourself from this scam always read the terms and conditions of the service BEFORE clicking the I agree button.
Another strategy offered by some credit cards is the one time use number. This way the credit card number is useless after the first transaction.
