Facebook Scam, What now? - Andy - 08-20-2013 10:49 PM
So I think i fell victim to a Facebook scam. I don't know what I was thinking. This girl , a very attractive one, friended me on Facebook and started talking to me. Then she said there's this online bikini contest and she had me sign up with all these sex dating sites and she was like this is only to confirm your identity as over 18, which was the reason for the credit card. She kept assuring me its not a scam. She said its awkward but they use these sights to vote for stuff like this. So now I'm signed up with at least 5 of these sites and I'm probably gonna be charged. What are my options? Cancel my credit card? I just want out now. I don't want to be on sex dating websites or use the services. I want my money back and to be done. What are my options? I willingly charged my credit card. I don't know what I was thinking. But this is actually a real person not a fake Facebook profile.

You would better tell your parents about it and see if you can get some real help, may be from the Law enforcement authorities and may be they could talk to the Bank authorities if you can cancel these transactions. You will need real help from people around you.

Are you under 18? If so call the police as its illegal for anyone to entice a minor to sign up for an adult site
Also cancel the credit card immediately. Tell the bank you lost your card and need to cancel it
This is why you don't accept friend requests from strangers. Attractive girls don't go around friending random people unless they are trying to scam them out of money

Was it Charged Yet ? If Not i Would Not Worry About that Part See if on the Site There is a Way to Cancel and Notify your Credit Card Company and Let them Know About it Just In Case
