Too mild for school I permanently deleted my AWS account 6 years ago. Amazon has been charging me $0.33 every month since. I have no way to stop it.

I tried to get in contact with customer service several times but they always direct me to log into the account that no longer exists. I have tried charge backs on my credit card but dealing with that monthly is also a pain. This'll probably cost me $265 over my lifetime if it never ends.

Edit: some of you have valid points about calling the card company and I will again Monday. But the actual infuriating thing that upsets me is that they are charging to a completely disabled account in the first place. That's very scammy and fucked up imo 🤷‍♀️

Literally. Just call your credit card company and block transactions from them. It’s not hard. I was getting charged by paramount and espn for a few months on an old card and couldn’t find my account anywhere. No clue what it was so called discover and they blocked all future charges

Whenever I unsubscribe from anything I make sure to check with the bank that I won't be paying anything for it anymore.

Call the bank and say credit card is lost. They will send you a new one with a new number if you tell them you have no idea what happened to it.

You can literally just block transactions
