I have been investigating these text messages and email spam messages which pretend to be surveys from actual companies such as CVS .
The typical playbook is that after the survey it says that you can get a free TV or computer if you just pay $10 shipping and handling .
In the fine print of the terms and conditions it states that this is a subscription for done bs, which will charge $90 a month until canceled.
I have tested these sites with virtual credit card numbers and the charges always come back to a actual website which sells things for the same denomination, but the actual website is completely non-functional.
I have come across several of these. And I will post videos and images in the first comment below as soon as I get a chance.
I’m trying to figure out what the purpose of making these non-functional websites is rather than just randomly ripping off the credit card without a website.
Here is an example:
The card charges show as:
There is a website called https://www.autosuppsebookproducts.com/, but it doesn’t seem to work. Lo and behold, the prices listed on their nonexistent products correspond to the charges they place on credit cards.

I’ll try and hunt down a load of toll free numbers which run the same sort of bullshit.
They generally all route to Filipino call centers for the “cancellationings” of these fictitious subscriptions, much akin to the almost 1000 numbers I listed this morning.
They offer zero service for the subscription on all those websites as well.
These numbers were all still actively functioning the last time I revisited them.
I have so many active numbers in my databases I forget where they are most of the time or what they’ve been labelled as.
Not a nice situation when there’s too many to remember
I also know of 3 active toll free numbers which are listed as support to unsubscribe from some very shady sexually explicit websites (all fake from what I can deduce. They’re all bot replies to paid introductions).
We had a bit of fun call flooding a lot of the credit card fraud numbers from this morning and threw these 3 I just mentioned in for variety.
There was a lot of really pissed of Filipinos and subcontinent call center clowns as our AI bot was telling them all sorts of nonsense for them to help with.
THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT NUMBER OR OUR WEBSITES…PLEASE STOP CALLING!!
That aint gonna happen anytime soon sunshine.
