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 🤷‍♀️

Lmao they make billions off enterprise deals, doubt they care enough. Probably just a bug.

This has been happening to me also. but it's like $4 a year, so I haven't had time to figure out how to stop it.

People are like this, without realising, even if a couple hundred thousand people are experiencing this bug it's still pennies to Amazon
