Description

I took a political poll sponsored ad on Faceboo.k. The company was called Truly American. They stated if you answer the poll questions you could purchase a Trump flag for Shipping only in the amount of $4.97. I did the poll and ordered 1 flag. They charged my card for $4.97 and also a separate charge of $79.99. It was listed on my card statement as DECO DREAMS ONLINE, ADDRESS I called to have the $79.99 removed. They said I signed up for a monthly membership fee of $79.99! I was upset and had them cancel my membership. I called my card company. They had rejected the $79.99 charge and recommended they issue me a new card. I ordered the flag in September. I called again in October to find out why I hadn't received my flag. They said it would go out in 1-2 days. I have not received the flag at all. When I called after the election, the phone number I previously called them on is no longer in service. Also, another $79.99 charge appeared on my new card under another company name. Thankfully my card rejected the charge. It seems to be a scam run on FB during the election cycle. The company names used, and address listed on my card seem fraudulent. I can't find the original company, Truly American, and have no further way to contact them.
