Thanks for the comment. 2000 txt messages in one day, I guess my experience wasn't as bad as it seemed. They even called back after I posted the video so I told them if they called, texted or sent me another email I would contact the Attorney Generals office in my state. That seems to have worked - so far no more calls today.

You are such a strong woman! I love how you stick to your guns. Owning your own business, being self employed, shows how smart you are. By the way, while going on the tour of your house, I was FLOORED as we started up the stairs, and I said out loud, "Cool printing of the house!" Then you mentioned you painted it. Is there ANYTHING you can't do, Phyllis?! You have so much energy. Seriously, I think it is because you have always eaten healthful food which shows in your pretty skin and hair. I liked seeing your personal care products, and I went to bed repeating these words so I wouldn't forget: Daily Renewal Cleanser. :-) When you feel better I would love to hear about your mom and dad and home life as a child. I did get to hear about your trip to your grandmother's after you had moved away for a while. I am praying for Chemo every night and during the day. God bless you, Phyllis for sharing your life with us.

Thanks Phyllis I was scammed also on the Internet for wrinkle cream that was Free, but I had to pay the shipping for the free cream. Even before I could use the cream to see if it was good, I was charged $109.00 on my card, with a letter saying in another month, they would charge me $118.00 and ship me more cream. They said I signed up for a membership, which I did not. After being persistent, and doing everything exactly as they required, and threatening them with the better business bureau (BBB), I finally got everything cleared up after 2 months, and only had to pay for some postage. The 2 charges on my card were finally reversed. Then, my husband said exactly what you said, ONLY SHOP AMAZON. So thanks for the video reminder, otherwise, I might slip up a second time again too. By the way last month I used Amazon to purchase a spiralizer, and I did not like it when it came. The tool was hard to use, and I cut myself twice. I needed a better one to make better zucchini noodles. The company sent a letter with the product to PLEASE contact them instead of Amazon if I had any problems with the product. So I contacted them, and they were so thankful to refund my money without involving Amazon. So that made me think Amazon runs a pretty tight ship.

This seems to be the problem. These companies always want to sign you up for something monthly. I guess they figure people don't check their bank balances and never look at credit card charges and some people probably don't. With this company something told me to check my bank account which I usually only do maybe twice a month. From now on I will check more often. Thanks again for the comment.

Hi Phyllis. FYI...more than 80 % of the corporations in the US are Delaware corporations. The vast majority of international corporations that do business in the US are set up in Delaware. My company is a Delaware corporation. My attorney set it up. The reason corporations use Delaware is that the laws in Delaware are designed to protect the corporation in cases of law suits such as yours. When you sue a Delaware corporation you have to sue the corporation IN the state of Delaware and then the laws weigh in favor of the corporation. Delaware makes so much money on the corporations that the citizens of Delaware don't have to pay state income taxes. You should always use either a credit card or Paypal for transactions over the internet. For example, AMEX always weighs on the side of the customer in disputes. And ALL credit card processing companies have the right and obligation to with hold payments to businesses and they will do a charge back on contested charges. When a company has too many charge backs the processing company will cancel their account. Also, the processing company will usually charge the seller a fee for the charge back so the company you bought the info from not only did not get the dollar but they had to pay a service fee for the charge back. I've only had a couple errors in the 30 + years that I've been in business and I have caught the error myself and requested the adjustment immediately so my processing company did not charge me a fee as they had not yet transferred the money to my account. I informed my customer of the error and sent them copies of the correction on my end and asked them to check their accounts the next business day (s) to be sure they were not charged the error. I am an honest businessman. Not every business person out there in honest. My best advice is to either use AMEX or Paypal for over the net purchases.

It happened to me too. From an online ad, I ordered an Acai' supplement on approval. I would have 30 days from the purchase date (ding ding ding) to try them, after which $79 would be charged to my debit card and I would be placed on auto-delivery. If I didn't like the product, I could call their toll free number, cancel and be charged nothing. As the 30 days neared an end, I still had not received my shipment. I tried calling the toll free number and got an automated message that the voice-mail box was full. I kept trying for days. I checked with the Better Business Bureau and learned they had received countless similar complaints. None had been resolved because even the BBB couldn't locate the company. On day 29 of my free trial period, I went to my bank to see if I could stop payment. The $79 had already been deducted. The bank rep tried calling the toll free number, too, and got the same message I got. She said they would start an investigation. Then, surprisingly, she returned the $79 to my account on the spot and changed my debit card number so I wouldn't have to worry about further charges. Lesson learned!

I had a similar problem with a home security company. After not being able to get a buzzing sound resolved for the whole weekend, they thought that I would continue their service. My dog and I almost went crazy from listening to that noise all night until I finally ripped it out of the wall. That Monday morning I went to my bank, who immediately changed my card so that there would be no further withdrawals from my account. But, the security company continued to call and threaten me for payment and finally turned it over to a collection agency. I wrote a letter to their corporate office, the BBB, and the Attorney General. Problem solved.

Bre94 if you have a contract with a company, the credit card will legally be charged to your new card. You can’t just not like the service and get a new card so the company doesn’t have your number.

Glad that this was a suggested video from KZitem, I'd missed it in your older uploads. I had a problem like this with Ancestry.com. A younger relative invited me to look at his family research but in order to do so I had to sign up and give them bank info but with the knowledge that I was not buying anything from them at the time---that it was free. Lo and behold about a year later they began charging us monthly and hubby caught it. We fought it and ended up getting over a $200 refund from them. My mom got scammed by the tv listing for IT Cosmetics thinking she was making a one-time purchase and then turns out it was a subscription. At least she was able to get it cancelled but never did get refunded for the 2nd month that she never wanted. So sad how many businesses are set up to take advantage of people. And yes, Delaware seems to be the central hub for financial dealings and makes me take notice. Edit: I totally agree with you about Amazon too.

Hi Phyllis, I just tripped across this old video and I want to know it’s great advise. I too got scammed on a similar situation. I have been a Wells Fargo customer for the last 30 years and when I called them they opened a fraud case and they made me cancel my existing debit card and they issued me a new debit card. I learned my lesson and it took them 10 business days but I finally got my money back. And this was for $1000 where someone had rented a hotel room at Harrah’s in New Jersey and bought them selves a watch or a handbag from some online company. But boy I know the frustration in getting to a resolution. It did not happen fast enough for my liking. And it was out of my normal checking account and they had dipped into my mortgage payment money. So I was not too happy. But it all got resolved and thank you for your video. I’m sure your warning will help others in the future 😉

I saw this ad come up from a very respectable looking doctor who said he had spent some years finding relief for his mother. A team of his people found the root of a plant in the Malaysian jungle. It was such a professional talk and I was desperate. After about 1/2 an hour he then showed wonderful packing and said because it was rare you should buy two. Then for special buy four. I spent nearly $1000 and it never arrived. I rang my bank who got in touch with this bank overseas. Within a week my bank refunded me the full amount. I saw recently the same man promoting a different product completely. I too only buy from Amazon and eBay. now.

Add to the list - door to door sales of security systems. Took me over a year to cancel a month to month contract. Finally got it cancelled, company was sold again, changed their name for the third or fourth time again and almost two years later, a company I’ve never heard of starts authorizing my locked credit card (which wasn’t even the same expiration date anymore) for $1 every day trying to troll for when I unlocked the card. Reported as fraud and had my card replaced. If I hear from them again, I’m taking them to court. I will never even entertain the idea of buying through door to door or phone solicitation EVER again. A lesson that just keeps haunting us and I pray it’s finally over but will have to watch our account for these scumbags illegal practices for the rest of our lives.

Sweet Phyllis wanted us not to get scammed. It was so appreciated that she told us about Delaware. I’ve been scammed twice, too. I miss that sweet lady. 😢😢

Hi Phillis, I'm glad you got out of this pickle unscathed. Never, never, ever give out your banking info to any of these people. I'm a fan of yours from Canada and hope to one day visit the south. Interestingly the piece of furniture behind you is a lot like one I grew up with. My grandmother always called it the sideboard. It's still in the family. Regards

You did a wonderful job explaining these situations and it just goes to show that when you arm yourself with information and some knowledge of the law you can and WILL get your point across. Its might not end up the way you expect in EVERY situation but in most because these companies expected you to holler and rant but never have validity on how to use the law of KNOWLEDGE and articulation to make things happen! I came across your channel by accendent but you seen like a very nice lady who may have the answers to future question I may have about this very subject! great job Mrs. Phylis Stokes.

That's why I am cautious about ordering on line or the phone because I've had similar problems. so when I order something now I have a prepaid card that way I don't have to worry about anyone taking my money lol. But it took me a while to learn but I did. Thanks for this video it really helped me a lot.

Jo Malloy A lot of companies don’t except the prepaid cards, I bought my son a prepaid card while he was traveling and he found out right away he couldn’t use it for gas plus when I wanted to add more money on the card I was charged, I bought the visa card at Walmart never again.

When you purchase items and you need a credit card to order, best to use a virtual visa, that means it works like a credit card number, but the money must be in the account (works like a debit). When you want to stop payment on something you just cancel the card and ask the bank to send you a new card with a new number!

Almost the same thing happened to me. Esteem cream was advertised on the t.v.really cheap. We was trucking & They kept sending pkgs & taking $ out of my account. We was long hauling . After about 3 months I got home & here was all this cream I did not order. I called them & sent the extra packages back to them. I never got a penny from.

Thank You Phyllis for keeping us informed,I forgot about the DE, Coles Ave. You can go to a Library and look it up for free....It use to come in a big blue book for bigger companies have these,and Bonding owns them because people put their property up ...Buy now I am sure you can get it off the internet,if they try to charge you use your Library...Hope this helps people,also will tell you who owns the name of the property...Oh Coles Ave does businesses too...And you can always check BBB, Also you can tell your bank what's going on and change your acct# But that would be last that I would do...F.Y.I.

That is what happened to me...My inconvenience was teeth whitener...I called 'the office'...I told them I had returned the goods...they got snippy with me and then I asked to talk to the floor manager..She got snippy as well..I said let me talk to your manager...she said she was the manager...I said you own this big corporation..she said no...I said well then let me talk to them..she said no...I told her that I knew full well someone is her boss and that I will call them in Clearwater Florida ( corporation) and that I would tell the owners the horrible attitude they have in the California office...Of course ms know it all said how do we know you returned it..I said cause I told you I did...then she went as far to tell me that unless I had a number from UPS, then it will probably sit in the factory under everyone else which told me it wasn't that great... Needless to say when I got done with them they stopped pulling their amount our of my bank...I know how to argue with those kind of people ...As I'm sure you do to Phyllis..

already miss her, but some advice on the scam thing, like the bank said the scammer will use a different name that the bank won't catch. Be ahead of it by having the bank "issue you a new card with a new number," that will stop any further unauthorized withdrawals

Ms. Phyllis, you said a couple of times "that's no big deal" Yes it is a big deal. That was your hard earned money and you deserved to get it back. I don't understand why people are always trying to scam and scheme people. They need to get a real job. People will do anything for money. I am sooooooo glad that you were adamant about getting your money back. It is not the one dollar or the fourteen, it is the principle of it. Even when we are mild tempered people, (you talk so soft and sound so sweet, I am a calm person also) sometimes people can push you to that point. Great job of being persistent. Be blessed I pray that nothing else happens like this.

Erik Henson I know this post is old, but, Be VERY careful with the Wal-Mart Green Dot cards! There's HUNDREDS of complaints against them online! If you try to dispute a charge, they cancel your card immediately and whatever you have on your card while they cancel will be inaccessible! I almost got scammed by them! I signed up for the card, and before I received my permanent card in the mail, I requested a direct deposit form, bc I was going to have my check directly deposited into this card. Thank God I read the consumer reports first, and didn't go through w signing up for the direct deposit, bc they never sent me my permanent card!!! Had I signed up for direct deposit, I would have had NO WAY to access my money! They eventually sent me a brand new card without me even requesting one, w a letter saying, "We notice you signed up for our card and have not used it yet. Here's a new card..." That was very suspicious to me. I use my husband's Wal-Mart Green Dot card but we never keep a lot of money on it, and whenever we have a bill to pay, or purchase to make, we load the card that day, so the money on the card isn't just sitting there. I hope this helps 😊

I have been with Wells Fargo for 15 years and they have fixed a couple bad decisions on my part. They fixed as it as fast as possible. They put the money back in my account the same day before it was even settled. I love them as a bank.
