Runnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

My son recieved this credit card with a $1500 credit limit, he soon had it maxed out which was not the problem because I pay the bill. I never really looked at the charges, I just paid it online. After I paid it off a charge was put on from a shopessen I asked him about it and he said he never charged from there. I started to look into it and found that it was a scam. He was getting charged $9.95 per months from April to January. They told him they could do nothing about it until he cancelled the subscription from them, they gave him the information since he never heard of them, called and cancelled. I called then and told them they were responsible because it was their insecure server that allowed this charge. I told the woman that all she had to do was to google it, and she said that she did not have time to look at a bunch of blogs. I then insisted that I speak to her superior in which she gave me to security and they said that they could not talk to me because it was not in my name this was after my son had given them his permission 3 different times to discuss the account with me. I had him call them and while I was on IM with him told him exactly what to say. The best they would do was to remove 3 months charges only if he had a police report sent in with it. I too am going to write the better business bureau, because not only this but the astronomical charges have to be illegal.
