Description
I saw an ad on Facebook for an electric fireplace on sale for $49.99. I purchased the fireplace, and the "company" then debited my account for additional charges. They debited small charges initially, $53.98, then $54.71, then $73.48, then $69.32, then $67.32, then they attempted two additional charges. 1 for $350.00, and another for $400.00, but by that time my credit union caught on, and declined the charges for "unusual activity." I sent an email and received no response, and the number on their site does not work.
