Sorry in my last post. I meant for my bank to investigate and BBB.
I also got scammed by them. I told them to refund my money. I would get the enamel to investigate and call better business bureau to investigate them. We’ll see if they refund my money. I took down time and number I called to give to BBB will also let bank know now to let anymore payments go to them. Hope everyone can get refunded. Will repost if I do.
Saw a Facebook ad about ps5 restock, did the survey and won. Then it said once redirected to a different page I would just need to pay $1 for shipping, filled out my info and was charged $59 for something I don't even know what it is.
The same happened to me and when I called they say is for a membership on Demand for a year and they do contest I guess monthly and I told them that are scamming people to pay for something is not real and would report to BBB and they say they will scalene to higher management to see if I get a refund which I demanded , let’s see what happens in two days Monday
IT A SCAM. The $59.00 ,zip for an order of KETO BUT YOU WON'T GET IT AND THE WILL NILL YOU BANK ACCOUNT EACH MONTH
I got a text message that I won an Xbox and just $1 postage was required. I’m usually suspicious but it seemed legitimate. Shortly thereafter I got an emailed “receipt” for $59.95 for a subscription to something that made no sense. I called the number provided on the receipt and insisted my money be trundled. I even begged the guy because I’m out of work and can’t afford to lose the money but he only said he was unable to refund and went on about this subscription to? And how great it is. I hope they get fought and do jail time it’s appalling that people would steal from innocent people trying to survive a pandemic
I have been scammed by these people what do I do to get my money back
I have been scammed by these people ..wat can I do to get my money back?? This happened last week
I have been scammed. Will I be able to get my money back?
got the charge for $59 instead of $1. just cancelled my card and requested a new one with new account number.
Yes it most certainly is a SCAM!!! So is the promotion for the IPHONE same deal you won a PlayStation or you won N IPhone for 1 dollar and then they take whatever they want.
I received a text message from t mobile claiming I won a iPhone and to pay $1 for shipping thinking it was from T-Mobile I submitted my information only to find out I was charged $59.99 for a keto 22 order once I received the invoice email. So yes bequesty is a total SCAM!! Now I'm out $59.99 that I can't get back for a order I didn't want.
Scam Scam Scam. Only way to fight it is the transaction was authorized for one dollar. the charge was 59 dollars. That's called FRAUD.
They also got an ad on Facebook that shows up making people think Best Buy can't sell these to customers as the boxes are damaged and giving them away to their membership members. The link goes to a Fake Best Buy looking site https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=195554995650590&id=112182687321155
I was scammed too. I do believe by these people they wanted money to send the PlayStation to me the next thing I know I'm being charged $59 on my bank account but I cannot find them I talked to them they seem to be nice I'm calling my bank to reverse the charges and blocking them from using my card if I can thank you so much
I got suckered into the scam, I feel so stooped. The text looked like it came from my cell phone carrier, but obviously not. It said $1.99 for shipping of an Xbox that I won but the charge came through as $59.00. This is the email I received:Membership Level: Xorive Movies 2 Day Trial MembershipMembership Fee: The price for membership is $1.99 now. This membership will expire on January 18, 2021.Discount Code: XMOVIES9BI immediately called the company 1-866-857-2177 and complained. I was told that I agreed to the promotion and that they would not reverse the charge and I hung up on them. The arrogant man actually called me back (which went to voice mail) and was saying again that they will not reverse the charge. I called my credit card company and reported a fraudulent charge and ordered a new credit card. I'm not sure of the outcome but the next thing is to go to my wireless provider and show them that someone is using their logo fraudulently.
I just fell for the same scam this morning. $59 charge! Now have to cancel my bank card and get new one and change all my auto deductions. Felt so stupid.
Yeah, you win a PS5 that's a big fat lie. They charge you 59.00 then when you call to have them give you your money they tell you they will review your request for your money back and someone might get back to you in 24 to 48hrs. Then if you continue to question it they have no supervisor available and hang up on you.
Unfortunately, I fell for this scam and am even embarrassed to admit it. Is there ANY WAY to get this money back???? I am going to check with my bank tomorrow, unfortunately, they are closed today.
These scumbags got me to buy I called and kept complaining about this being a click bait scam and the guy eventually said that he would refund $35 and I said no I want all of my money he then said 70% I refused and he said he had to speak to a manager well moral of the story call n bi*ch and tell them that u agreed to $1.99 charge not no $59 for some bs scam company that you have no idea what the place even is ..call ur bank and get a new card also so they can’t deplete all your money in the future!
I was gullible. I was told I won PS5 and they said I paid for keto pills, I did neither
Said I won a ps5 and charged me $59.00 I want my money back or just send me the game. It was a late Christmas gift to my nephew.
"Fraud it is. I happen to be in Florida when they claimed I requested the services but they billed my account last night did some checking and filing a complaint with the attorney's office as well as BBB this is cybercrime"Received via email.
This is the same person that just sent you a message. I don't know what keto club 5. I want my money returned and my membership cancel.
You said that I was going to get and game console for a $1.00. I want my membership amount returned. I was lied to
"Said I won a PlayStation and would cost me 1.00. Charged me 59.00. Internet scam"Received via email.
This is messed up, they just got me and they took all of my money out of my accout, what do I need to do
Contact your bank for help.
Had the same experience this morning. Terrible.
These people just took money out of my account and how do I stop them and how do I get my money back they took all of my money
I received this text message “: Order #9713849 status changed - on the way. Click here: http://otghs.co/129lp/go” from 717-800-5201 and the offer was for a PS5 free of charge. I was only responsible for paying shipping which was supposedly $1-$5.I decided to play the matching game and it said I won however I decided to google search the website I was directed to “bequesty.com” and lo and behold others have been targeted or scammed by these cyber criminals. Hope you aren’t taken for a ride by these criminals and if you are I hope your bank will investigate and refund your money. Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and Happy Holiday.
Just received one where they are posing as Verizon wireless doing a survey. It looked legit!! Beware!
Same here - I fell for it and had to cancel my card due to the $59 fraudulent charge.
I received this saying I only need a $1.00 to win a iPhone 11. It came through my text messenger at the phone number of 1-469-344-8879. I tried calling this number and it says the message system has not been set up. It sent me to a site called EXPRESSPOSTI. The browser shows this address of safestwebsite01.com. Beware! You should not be getting a message of winning a prize through your messenger.
Hey, I got the same thing for PS5 when I looked at my account and saw the $59 took off I called them and they claimed that they're going to refund me 35% and it's a one-time payment that they claim that they was taking off these people are sick minded people don't have money like that laying around for BS Lord forgive me.
Text message about FedEx parcel being postponed, I am waiting on a very late delivery. Did not click because parcel number started with 1z which is UPS not FEDEX
I just got a email saying they are giving away ps5s because I am a Amazon prime member and it shows gifts the first time I lost and then they gave me 2 more changes and I won the second time comments on the bottom seemed legit saying darn I lost and t he n one saying I thoug get this was a scam but nope my package from Amazon came after a week with my ps5 and then I pushed ok and it sent me straight to give them my name email address card number csv number address all of that and I looked at the top and the url link was www.bequestly.com I asked my boyfriend he said he Never heard of it and then he looked on Amazon prime and it said they didn’t have any giveaways at this time due to Covid so yea it’s a scam and I got all of this through a text saying they are Amazon prime. This could be the cartel you never know do not give ur credit card number to anyone and even if it isn’t your card info never give your name phone number and address where you live is where you feel comfortable it’s your safe place so keep it that way don’t make your safe Place a public place with a sign that says come in we are open never ever
Fell for it. Thought it would be a great gift for my son. charged $59 to my account. I closed my card number right away afterward.
Received text from 1-214-208-6046. "FedEx: the schedule dispatch time of shipment 1z07215 was postponed! Make sure to confirm here: Link" Link was to giftcornernews.com.... with survey to win a ps5, looked like an amazon page. Did not follow through, just reporting it here.
Just won a ps5 and they asked for credit card info. I was really excited. They linked it with Amazon. Smh
Received a text stating that for just $1 dollar and can purchase a 5G cellphone, that was a prize awarded to me, and the opportunity was to great to pass up. Sent the dollar by debit card once the info was given, message the card had insufficient funds, try another card same message.How can REPORT THIS CRIME, AND CHECK MY DEBITS CARDS FOR UNAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL. I KNOW TO ALERT MY PROVIDER, BUT HOW CAN I have them prosecuted
I was stupid and fell for it. I should have went with my first instinct. I immediately called there customer service number which was no help.So I notified may bank.
Yup, they just texted me this morning with the PlayStation offer..... I knew right away because at this time of year when PS5 is out of stock no one in their right mind will be giving them away
I went to click on the Privacy Policy and the terms and conditions and neither linked worked. So I backed out of it, never put my credit card info in ..... Thank god.
I got a text message from 850-367-1668 about a notification of my package. To click on hxxp://zqqra.co/8fqz.htm to where it took me to a page that had the Amazon icon on top of the bar but I wasn’t able to click on it that I have won a chance to receive a PS5. It asked 4 questions, male or female, age range, Apple or Samsung, and my overall satisfaction on amazon. Then you get 3 chances to see if you get the PS5 image and then say the shipping will be $1-$5. I had to look it up to make sure it was a scam because I’m currently waiting on some packages to arrive. It’s frustrating to open a link thinking about it’s our packages we order but in reality, it’s not, it’s just a scam to get our information.
Mine came from a 803-209-2103 text number. The scheduled delivery time for you FedEx package has been postponed. Click here to verify. Of course with the holidays, I have packages I have been waiting on. It took me to this site hxxps://lucidretention.com/...
I had it pop up while I was on Twitter and it showed an Amazon top page but you couldn't click on any of the Amazon icons.
I received a FedEx notice on my phone saying my package delivery was delayed and I needed to verify my delivery time here... I clicked on the address and it took me to an Amazon survey to put in a game to win a PS5. the survey was 4 questions of male/female, age range, apple or android phone, and something else but I don't remember. I picked the gift box that won a PS5 and they wanted 1-5$ to ship the game which is when I started googling the bequesty. com website and found this is a scam. It's really frustrating to have it come from FedEx and then Amazon which is where I am expecting a Christmas gift to be delivered. :-(
Yeah, got it 12/14 -- Googled Bequesty.com -- why would they want me to pay to ship when the contest is run by FedEx?
It charged 59.oo to my phone. I am calling in a sem.
