This is so frustrating. Monday I logged into my bank and found a charge for $49.99 from MFP. I didn't order premium, so I have no idea why. I contacted support, and they say they have no record of charging my account, and to "just wait a few days and it should fall off." Yea, great; except you've got fifty bucks of my money tied up for no reason. Three days later, the charge is still there. Note that it's still in "pending" and my account isn't premium. WTH is this?

Anyone else get this issue?

    I don't but I'm wondering if you even ever gave them your bank account/credit card number? If not, perhaps its a fraudulent charge?

    Yeah, how would they have your account information?

    Oh that's no concern, my card is on file; I used to have premium. I'm not worried about how they did it. I'm just irked that they did it. I have placed a claim with my bank disputing the charge. I don't think it's just someone else charging on my account; because I feel like if it was just a regular premium purchase, it would have gone through by now. The fact that it's just been hanging there in pending transactions makes me think it was an automated charge that got screwed up somewhere down the pipe.

    You are being scammed and not this place but a hacker .

    Highly unlikely. I see no mechanism here. What's the attack vector? My bank or my account? If he hacked my bank account, I hardly think his grand scheme would be fifty bucks disguised as an MFP charge that never goes throug. If he hacked my MFP account, and then placed an order, there would be a record of said order in MFP's system; and more importantly, the charge would have cleared.

    So it sounds like you're ok with everything.

    When does Judge Wopner come on?

    MFP knows that you miss the amazing perks of being a Premium member so they went ahead and took that first step for you to show how much they care. If it were me I'd personally thank them by asking them to go ahead and tack on another $10 as a tip for providing such an amazing service to you.

    Ask your bank where the money went out of your account.

    Yea, here's the crazy thing - I probably wouldn't be pissed if it actually went through and gave me premium. I've been meaning to re-up anyway. This is KEEPING me from subbing.
