Dynamix7

I responded to an online advertisement that suggested I could earn pounds working on the internet. I thought the work being offered was for drop shipping and agreed to pay $1.99 to a company called Dynamix to find out. I paid the £1.99 using my debit card but following payment nothing happened and I received no email response. 3 days later a man called telling me he was from Dynamix7 and immediately began trying to sell me training. I told him I was not interested in training, that the advert was misleading and that I was withdrawing my application before ending the call. I have since found out that immediately I paid the one dollar ninety nine, another $29.00 was collected from my account and a debit was set up to collect this every month. Fortunately for me, I found this out after only two payments had been taken and reported this scam to my bank. I have since found out that Dynamix operates out of Phoenix in the U.S.A. and they have a number of scams, including this one.

I'm afraid that there are a lot of sharp practices/scams based on getting your card details and turning what you believe is just one payment in to a recurring payment, and some of the companies doing it are well known names. You should be able to get the payments stopped/refunded, but depending on the terms of the agreement, it can be fiendishly difficult and time consuming.

Just be very cautious over who you give your card details to and be certain what it is you have actually authorised.
