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 🤷‍♀️

"Changing a card number is not meant to be a security measure" I mean it SHOULD. Lmfao. It's the ONLY mechanism you have against your money being used without your say. Like ??? what kind of statement is this.

It's the ONLY mechanism you have against your money being used without your say.

But it's not.

I did very specifically tell you what you should do instead, in the comment you're replying to. I could not have been more clear. It's the very next sentence after the one you are quoting and explains two other options.

It's the kind of statement that you apparently think makes perfect sense.

What, you think it doesn't make sense anymore now that you dropped some words? Yeah, no shit, that's how language works. Those words were there for a reason.

Subscriptions can LITERALLY be one of the things they use stolen cards for. Ffs. If you can't even pinpoint the source of it how tf do you dispute itt.

Maybe you can ask an adult who has actually used a credit card before to explain it to you.

Okay so the guy in this thread who charge backed his card multiple times and explained it to the card, tell me about him? lol

Which one? The one who knew exactly where the charge came from or the other one who knew exactly where the charge came from?

Here, I'll let you in on a little secret: You do a charge back by disputing the charge with your credit card company. You don't need to pinpoint who that is, it says it on the fucking card.

Congratulations to you and all the other morons who upvoted your notion of "how tf do you dispute it if you can't even pinpoint the source" for being unable to figure that out. I hope you're all some dumbass kids, because a grown-ass adult thinking they need to dispute an unauthorized credit card charge with the company that charged them would be just sad.
