Description

I believe on 08/2020,I saw an ad on Facebook that offered a trial sample for $7.98 of Golden CBD Oil. For 8 bucks,I thought,why not try it,as I have COPD,and now cancer as well. They also offered a trial size for $6 and change. So I sent them the $13 plus change amount. On 08/22/2020 I noticed two seperate amounts taken from Paypal via my linked credit union. One was for $118.88 and another for $85. I called the phone number listed on the package (888)993-8667. It was answered and I explained about the two higher amounts taken. He said I agreed to the deal. I do not recall seeing anything as such,and am attempting to see if Facebook can send me a copy of the ad. If it was on there,it sure was cleverly hidden! I asked him his name and he said Mike. I asked him for his last name,and he said he did'nt have to give his last name. So I asked to talk with a supervisor. He said he could not do that. Finally he said his last name was Watts. He stated he was a service agent for the company. But he was pretty adament about returning any money to me. I asked what his online web name was. He gave it to me,but nothing came up when I looked. I called Paypal to have them issue me a new card,and asked their security to look into it. But since it was actually Facebook that showed the ad,they may not be investigating it. They did'nt say that,just my own opinion. When I looked on the computer,they are shown to be a freight office at the same address,but have a different phone #. I also looked on reviews after I found them on Google,and found another customer who bought something for $7.98 and exactly 17 days later(as I was) he was charged $188.88 the same amount as me.The Facebook ad had big names like Willy Nelson and others and looked very credible. I know this makes no difference,but $300 taken(rounded) only left $39 in my savings. I am disabled and only make $875 a month. I will have to borrow now to make my chemo visits and such. I do hope you can help me,and even more,help any others that are being tricked like this! Thank you very much! Sorry,that is the best picture I could make.
