Description

A pop up ad appeared on thegatewaypundit.com featuring Elon Musk selling CBD gummies and for a limited time sending out a free sample bottle. The ad linked me to healthcharmcbd.com and included a countdown for the free deal. I filled out the personal info, including billing even though I did NOT intend to purchase anything. Could not proceed to the free sample without this info. After submitting info, several purchase offers popped up. I was not interested so I scrolled down the the bottom and hit the continue button without reading or interacting with the offer in any way. Finally I made it to the page where it said my order was confirmed without any detail description of the order. An hour+ later, I received an alert from my bank that a charge of $248.13 was pending. When logging on to my bank, there were a total of 5 charges totalling $399.03. I found an email in my junk folder from [email protected] detailing the order. There was also a phone number included. When called, they said they offered NO free product and it had already been processed and they couldn't cancel. I would have to wait and go thru a return process. They tried to offer me a discount but I said I didn't want to buy anything. They hung up me. Hopefully I will be able to receive a package and return it for refund. The ad about free product and celebrity endorsement were both a scam. The site was very complicated and misleading, not knowing I was going to be charged anything. The customer service offered no solutions outside of waiting for a lengthy return process.
