Description
I received an e-mail from Kroger's and was told that if I take a survey that they will ship me a 36 piece Tupperware storage container set for the cost of shipping, which they said was $6.99,, so I charged it to my credit card, and the card was denied. After calling the credit card number and answering a lot of their questions, they cleared my account so that the charge would go through, then I checked the charges on my card and found a charge from ZULSEC for $99.97 and one from SECURE PAY for $59.93, but nothing or $6.99 the quoted priceand I refuted the charge, but was told that the charge hadn't posted yet and the fraud department said that they were going to cancel my credit card and issue me a new one, but being handicapped I knew that the soonest I would be able to get the card was in 4 days if they overnighted it. I said no to that as this was the second card that I had received in less than a month from this company and they said that they would not be responsible if a charge was placed against that card from the same people. When they give me a new card they show me the last 4 digits but can't tell me the other 12 digits, but the last time this happened another company was able to get the number and charge agaainst it. Go Figure.
