Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ripped Off By "Privacy Matters"

A few days ago we got a call from some outfit called "Privacy Matters". It may or may not have been legit but I didn't like the aggressive, slick, snake's attitude from the start. He was a poor listener and even slower learner.

I ended up just hanging up on him and forgetting his pitch or his call.

Some time later, I tried to check my Visa account and had a problem pop up, suggesting I should call them.

Come to find out the 'Privacy Matters" group had authorized a monthly charge to my account of $19.95. Somehow they had all my account data right, except the expiration date. Because of that one small error, the CU refused to honor the account claim.

I believe the CU has it fixed from their end but I'm on guard for another phone call from the PM slicks.

Watch out for them...Privacy Matters.

Then, I found this:

I had an account with them through Wells Fargo. They would send me something whenever someone tried to access my account. The only times were when I applied for something myself.

Lost my job back in November and decided I didnt need 20 bucks coming out of my account every month. If things got real tight 20 bucks could cost me another 25 on top of it if something bounced.

They cancelled it with any fuss and sent me a confirmation in the mail. Alot of people are cutting back on these "monthly charges" since times have gotten so tight.
