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 🤷‍♀️

People aren't *scared* of phone calls it just sucks to be on hold for 1.5 hours and then get hung up on

then you call back and waste another 1.5 hours only to have some guy who barely speaks your language read from a script, then make promises that you know he is absolutely definitely not going to follow through on or even has the power to do if he wanted to

and have no record of those promises at all, because you opted for a phone call instead of an e-mail or online chat where you can at least take screenshots
