The scam artists continue.....

From my FB page.

There has been a plethora of ads lately, obviously targeting people like me. They are targeting the use of paying for sites you have maybe even inadvertently signed up for. Most of these are run by apps we as consumers download to make our lives so much better and faster. They all require the one key you want to give them for them to work. Now today, because of this, and people like me who can't remember their passwords, they end up costing us a ton of money unnecessarily. If you're like me, you truly don't have extra maney laying around in bags to waste on things you don't use. Some smart person wrote an app that finds all your apps that use this, so end users can take your money with a smile and don't need to do anything if you never use their app again. Some of these apps are advertised as free downloads. If you give them the source of your funds, they are set for free money until you contact them to have their services stopped. This smart person wrote this app that you download, then you scan your device, and it finds those apps and identifies them. Did this as a service to help us protect ourselves? That is what this post is about. In today's world, there are so many people looking for the easy way to make money. That is when an opportunity like this presents itself; it's hard for an honest person to build an app that protects, but then doesn't keep taking after the need is over. They want you to pay at least 30$ per month. It seems to me that once the sites are suspended, the use of this app is done! There are simple answers for these types of things. I myself should be taking heed of this. First, if you forget to cancel something you added, the easiest way to stop the funds from being sent is to contact your financial institution and ask them to stop payment. That stops the need for the ongoing use of apps without conscience! I hope this helps at least one person.

I would really like to see a law that requires any auto renew subscription mandate a yearly continued agreement from the purchaser.  If not re-confirmed, the account is suspended and not billed.

I never EVER download ANYTHING from FB. My stupid neighbor does it all the time. I've had to reinstall her computer over a dozen times so far in the last 3 years. I charge her dumb ass $50 each time.  I've told her so many times to stop downloading crap off of there but she won't listen. You can pick up a bug on there just by downloading a simple Picture.
