Another Toyota Lottery Scam

During the course of this year, I have been sent so many scams.
Most of them are easy to spot caus’ they come right out and ask you for bank details.
Recently these scamsters have become a little more oblique in their approach.
The norm seems to be to wind you up about your winnings first and then ask for details.
Still just the same old same old.
It is all starting to look a little more legit out there, but as long as you remember to never send out your personal details and bank account details, you should be safe.
P.S. Remember that you never have to pay for any winnings due to you. No matter what the amount is…

Credit Card Charges

They charged me 39.95 out of my account. Those thieves took my money for over three months!!! I’ve waited so long to get my refund.
As a last ditch effort I called this number, TFN 888-740-5065 this is some kind of consumer protection service that gets refunds for people…anyway, I called them and they said it would take 24-48 hours for me to get a confirmation. So after I signed up and got off the phone, I figured that it would be a while before I got a response, but then I got an email within 2 hours stating that they have successful initiated a refund process and that I should be getting a email confirmation within 24 hours.
In the end, the guys at (tfn) were able to recover my refund for three months worth of charges. I highly recommend these guys (TFN), they claim they can get a refund on any charge.
