Description

There was a charge made to my credit card that I did not recognize, but thought my wife had made, so I approved it. However, when I talked to her she did not recognize the company. So I googled the company and found a website for Bloom & Thrive CO. On the surface, it is made to look like a legitimate website. But if you look at any of the links or descriptions, etc they are all bogus. It is supposedly a gardening company, but if you look at services, it talks about money management and advising. If you look at employees, there are pictures of people who are obviously not legitimate workers and often the wrong gender. Their FAQ's are all the same question repeated several times. Each of the website links go to pages, where it starts off to look like a legitimate response, but then ends in an incomplete sentence. Some of their written dialogue is in a language that appears to be in Latin. Several of the more detailed "links" do not go anywhere. After I contacted my credit card company, there were 4 more attempts to charge my card, but they were rejected. This is a fraudulent business trying to make charges to stolen credit card numbers with a mock website, so that those who superficially check it out will see what appears to be a legitimate business.
