I was approached by someone on a social site last night. after some chatting this person told me i should join a site they were on because it was free they just needed a credit card number to verify age. i was a bit leery of it but the site looked legit and i figured id use my prepaid card so in the horrible event it was a scam they wouldnt get much money since my prepaid only had around 15 dollars left on it. well after trying several times to create an account the person i was chatting with became more and more frustrated and told me i should use a different credit card since the one i was trying wasnt working. I had no idea what could be wrong or why the account wasnt working and then i noticed there were no links to cancel the account or any links leading to a page to change or update payment info. so i became suspicious finally and told the person i wasnt going to try anymore. upon saying that the person asked me to try one more time and the account finally worked. i also found a link to cancel the account but the link led to the site thesaver.us and told me i had to complete 2 free offers to not be charged the 40 bucks a month. i spent a good deal of time trying to research the site and found that the owner seems to be based in prague and has several other domains most of which are no longer active. i called my prepaid card company to find out if i had been charged and they informed me that my prepaid card was no longer active (which is why it wasnt working last night im assuming). assuming that the saver.us was a legit company and i just would have to bite the bullet and pay the 40 bucks for the month and then cancel my account, i made another prepaid card account and emailed the company asking them to contact me with instructions to update my payment info since the card number i used was from the card that unknown to me was inactive. i got no response. so i tried calling the numbers listed in the contact info and all day long i got a recording saying they were experiencing a high volume of calls and to hold the line but was immediately followed by a standard "please leave your message after the tone" recording.
Now with that out of the way, does this smell of scam or do i need to keep trying to contact them to update payment info so they dont try to bill an inactive card? id appreciate any input.
