WARNING! WARNING! USCCA Gunner's: FRAUD: MY CRISIS GEAR.com (pogus charges)

I ordered some stuff (I don’t even remember what) in January 2024
Every month I got a recurring charge of $49.97 for a “Subscription” ‘’‘’'of what? who the He** knows.
My Sister (da book keeper) thought I was ordering MRE’s (or other gear)
Found out they ere for 'Snake Eye’s Sunglasses (Ballistic proof–right!) which I never got!
This phony subscription (that I wasn’t told I was signing up for) was to get the shades
at a drastic discount—which they then rip me off until I woke up and said ‘Hey WTF!’

Some of my Topics aren’t Gun related, I know, just trying to add levity to this screwed up world. But this is UNACCEPTABLE! Be careful Folk’s, I’m USUALLY on the ball with what I order and from whom… these people got me! I don’t want them to get YOU!

Being ARMED (w/info) is forewarned!

Used to get charged 10 cents every other week which I thought was related to pre-authorizations at the gas pump. Turned out to be a scam.

$0.10 doesn’t seem much but if they get 1 million accounts every week, that’s easily $100K stolen from unsuspecting consumers.

The first step was Eden… now we live in a depraved, sick world. This garbage has been going on forever. Who was stiffed by buying stuff from the back of comic books? Today it’s just faster and cheaper to screw people with the internet, etc… And since the obiden/harris will not enforce our laws at any level, along with the many millions of illegals they invited to come here to do us harm. You take God and no fear of judgement out of the equation you are left with what we live in today. Gotta stop now or I will get more depressed!

Don’t get depressed Brother Tom, GET ANGRY!
I’ve been burning up the Internut and Phone lines over this.
My Sister, handed me a stack of Credit card statements to check and see what else we might have missed.
As I said before I dropped the ball on this one. I’m pretty sure we were together on the rest of the charges. (because they were ALL with KNOWN companies/Suppliers).

Just a Quick PLUS+PLUS on Companies : MY PATRIOT SUPPLY (I ordered a ton of MRE’s from just sent me another order (unasked).
I was supposed to get my last order 9/9/2024, never got it. On 9/11 I called them
saying I was home and I never got anything. They replied ‘No problem’ and ‘BAM’ i got it today! FAST and HONORABLE! FED EX Beans n Shrapnel

I remember there was a “free” BB gun in the back of a comic book that if you sent in proof of purchase (wrappers) of 5,000 fudgesickles. They would give you this BB for free +shipping and handling. So every day after school I am in the back of the school digging these wrappers out of the garbage, getting them cleaned up and dry ready for shipping as I dig them out of the garbage. Plus any aluminum cans I can get so I can pay the shipping and handling. The schools janitor sees what I am doing and asks me why? I tell him and get back to work. Within the week, the school has added a garbage can that we have to put in aluminum cans and the fudge sickle wrappers in. The entire school has the teachers helping to get this reenforced with a teacher at the garbage can making sure the wrappers and aluminum cans go into that garbage bin. The Schools Janitor had talked to the Principal on my behalf, and the Principal decided to support me in this. Never made a big deal about it or any thing, just started doing that. The Janitor was the only point of contact I had and he never helped me do the job, just encouraged me. I look back at that small thing, and it makes wistful for what we used to be.

When I finally collect the 5,000 wrappers ready it’s the end of the school year (small school and we only get the fudgesickles once a week or so). The offer is still in the comic book. I wait throughout the summer into the next school year. Still going through the garbage because it’s now, turn in proof of purchase of a type of candy bar and x amount of candy bars gets the participant school x amount of school supplies. The day finally arrives, and I get this really small package and a letter (keep in mind, the offer is still in the back of that months comic book). They regretted to inform me that due to demand they had run out of BB guns, but to please accept this (and I’m not kidding, a brass slide whistle/compass/flashlight in return). The Janitor was there when I got it. He saw how upset and disappointed I was, because dude that crud was hard to do. He talks to the Principal again. Within a month I get the BB gun + 1 year subscription to all of the comic books I collected, and a written apology from the publisher. The Principal convinced the School Board to sic their lawyers onto the comic book company. Nothing was ever mentioned to me at the time, and I continued collecting the proofs of purchase for whatever deals we found until I graduated from that elementary school. Mr. Billy, the Janitor never told me about it until I graduated.

Yeah, silly small kindnesses like that get to you. Funny thing it was a BB “full auto” that you attached a small can of compressed air to and put out a bajillion BB’s when you fired it. I gave it back to the school to use at the School Fair where they would put a star target up and you had to shoot the star out of the target to win a prize.

I wasn’t being noble or anything it was just to expensive for me to use having to buy cans of air and so many packs of BB’s. Hey I was broke, and staying with a family that ran a small home for kids like me. I cried bitter tears when I aged out of that place. The only safe, stable place I had as a child. Im still in contact with that family and consider them my real parents. But that “home” is now a multi million $$ youth home for troubled youth housing 100’s of “at risk” teens. It had 6 kids when I was there. I can still name everyone of us. As a matter of fact the only photographic proof that I ever even existed as a child is from them. A picture of me as an All-star baseball player and a Xmas picture of the 6 of us. It’s funny that this family had 3 kids of their own and if they went on vacation we went with them, if they went roller skating we went roller skating, if they went to the movies we went to the movies. They treated us exactly like they treated their children. The only difference is their kids stayed in the big house with them and we stayed in the “dorm”. Their children grew up and still run the program now. Except it has scaled up in size and scope and is 100% funded by the State as a detention/rehabilitative Center

Edit: usual suspects.

Only thing I ever ordered from the back of any publication was the “Anarchists Cookbook” from the back of a Rolling Stones magazine. I collected my money, stuffed it in an envelope and sent it off to wait 6 to 8 weeks for delivery.

About three weeks went by and there is a hard knock on the front door. It’s two guys in ugly suits with FBI ID’s wanting to know what I planned on doing with the cookbook. Dad was beyond pi**ed. I never got the cookbook or a refund. Hello FBI watch list. I think I was 14 -15.

As far as recurring subscriptions go, Google Family Locator got me for two payments a month for the last few months. I had looked into their service when my youngest son (he’s 15) went to Orlando for a school robotics national competition in late June. I didn’t even sign up for their service, but they got me for $29.99 every two weeks until I saw one of the charges to my card. I keep a written ledger and compare it to my online balance. I saw the discrepancy the first month, contacted my bank, and was told to wait. Corporate Policy, I was told. I did go through Google and got it cancelled, but the money is gone. My bank said there was nothing I could do even though they recommended I wait.

I am still arguing with them.

I have to say just for the record. If people tell the Community
Who-what-when-and how they got taken
We may just be able to do some good here.
It doesn’t have to be Gun related.
Knowledge is the key.
These Axxholes my have gotten my $450 Jan-Sept @ $49.97 a month
but between Discover card, my e-mail promises and threat of a Lawyer?
I’ll be honest I would pay a fella back. I told them:‘You don’t want me mad @ you’

Stay tuned…same BAT time, same BAT channel! :crazy_face:

Now that I think about it, I also had a second “mama”, my neighbor’s mom. My own parents were much older, and didn’t really hang out with me, but kept the house running and the bills paid. Neighbor’s mom would always play cards and board games with the kids, and talked about “grown up” stuff like politics and geopolitical strife. Over 55 years ago, she predicted that China would be our greatest political foe, and for the most part, she was right, but even she could not predict what we have seen since the Obama administration.
