Description

There was a Walmart on Facebook that said a person could win money if they clicked on the ad. So I clicked on the ad and then there was a multiple choice board and I clicked on that and it said I won a $500 Walmart gift card. Then it took me to the next page to give my information because they said it was a $1.99 fee for shipping the gift card. I used my credit card instead of my debit card to be safe. About an hour later, I got a text message from my bank and they said they are expecting fraudulent activity because there was a $149.99 charge on my account. The bank said they would take the charge off but they denied the claim because the fraudulent business had too much of my personal information to do anything. They recommended I call the company and request a refund. I talked with Jamie and he told me the best they can do was give me $75.00. I said this is not ok what you are doing and that you are stealing money from people. I said you should give me my full money back. When I told him I was going to call the BBB, he said they would not give me anything back.
