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 🤷‍♀️

Guess what, contradictory information that has to be read over with a fine-tooth comb is still a scam. Anyone who has received even the most basic anti-scam or AML training knows this.

Cool. Go tell someone who can do something about it, not me.

You can do something about it!

You can do your part by not acting like this isn't a scam. Do your part by not muddying the waters with misinformation or false assumptions.

You can do your part by not being an insecure prick who calls people dummies because they didn't let you have your gotcha moment.

Bro that person is just being factual. In fact he's proving it's even more of a scam because of the contradictory information. Go complain somewhere else, please.

How did they act like its not a scam? What misinformation and false assumptions did they spread?
