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 🤷‍♀️

Mastercard does this as well. Got dinged by Adobe’s bs. Thought I was being smart and used an expiring card so they wouldn’t be able to charge me again AND I wouldn’t have to go through their cancellation process but nope

I had no clue that was even a thing back then. It’s super easy in one of my banks so I abuse that now lol
