We are completely screwed

     I have spent way too much time in the past week trying to recover money that was mine, until someone stole it.  This OAN Services Outfit and Odyssey Streaming Radio was charging me $15.85 a month for some bullshit digital music that I allegedley bought online.  I DONT LISTEN TO DIGITAL RADIO ON THE COMPUTER AND I NEVER CARED TO.  I NEVER BOUGHT THIS!!  AND I NEVER HAD ANY DESIRE TO DO SO!!  So I'm now getting $90 credited to my account.  Of course that does not help me now. 
     About  a week ago I discovered that I was getting charged $11.95 for a Google Success Kit, and $4.95 a month for an identity theft protection program, and $14.95 a month for some bullshit fraud protection that I never signed up for.  WTF is going on in this world these days?  These fucking people are making millions of dollars off of people like us, literally robbing us of the money we make from our 9 to 5 jobs, and nobody is doing anything about it.  Like it's legal.  Am I missing something?  Aside from my money that is...
     I did get most of the money back from the aforementioned Google scam, but I'm still short about $50 from the whole damn ordeal.  I really dont understand how people can get away with this. 
     Watch for any suspicious charges on your online banking statement.  Also do the same when you look at your telephone bill.  These fucking people need to be put in jail.  But we are screwed as a society because this shit is only going to get worse and there's alot of people that are going to get ripped off bigtime by thieves like this. 
 
      And this is all done through computers.  So be very fucking careful.  Dont click on any links out of curiosity.  Just finish doing what you're doing and get off the computer.  It's really not a safe place if you're not careful.

Its called upselling.

When you finish MANY online transactions, places try to get you to sign up for other stuff.

Just make sure you read the fine print and de-select boxes that arent applicable and read the terms of service.

I see it probably 50% of the time when I buy stuff online, in fact I bot some gift certs off rest.com and they tried to add on some other junk when you check out..of course I didnt accept and just finished the transaction.
