oh I feel so stupid right now and upset with myself. Usually I am pretty intelligent about certain things.... But anyway here is the story. As many of you know I work right now 2 days a week and dont make much money at all. Back in September I saw a sign on a window at laundry mat help wanted. I thought it would cool to apply. Well, I stopped in and asked for an application and they said I needed a resume. I was in a hurry and wanted to get my name in there as soon as possible so I went online to see if I could have some kind of resume builder because I thought that would be easier then trying to make one myself. So I saw for 1.00 for a resume from live-careers I think it is called online. Well I did get my resume and applied and that was 3 months ago. I pretty much take all my pay-checks and save them for winter for oil for where I live because that is what I agreed to pay for. Well here is the funny thing I dont usually watch commercials but I was too lazy to pick up the remote and fast-forward to the movie I was watching and it was for a shampoo commercial about some great shampoo that would help if your hair was not like it used to be when you are younger. A free trial so I investigated online about the shampoo and found out from reviews I read online about the scam going on with them that it really isnt a free trial and all the complaints of being charged sometimes 80 dollars or so a month on your card. Well, that got me to thinking about months ago when I went online for the resume builder for a 1.00 and my stomach went in knots I felt sick inside. And sure enough I was being charged 40 dollars a month from this livecareer company for a subscription which I had no idea I had agreed to. I checked all my bank statements and sure enough it was like 40 dollars a month I had paying for 3 months. Well the first thing I did is cancel my bank card and called the live career company and they said that in the email they sent me that yes it was a dollar to get your resume but with it came a subscription for them for a 15 day trial and that if you didnt cancel it you are enrolled in a monthly subscription. I feel so stupid right now and upset. I dont know why I didnt check my bank statements and I dont know how I could fall for such a trick. I am sure it is very legal but it is very devious to say the least. The moral of the story is read the fine print when doing anything like this. Dont just be in a hurry and do things online unless you trust the place you are dealing with. And if necessary go to walmart and by a card that you put money and do online stuff like that this way. I will get over it but 40 dollars to me is like a huge amount of money. I will thank now the spirit ones who led me to hear that shampoo commercial on TV to lead me to remind me of this thing I did back in September. I feel like i have been kicked in the stomach but I dont cry over spilled milk for long as they saying goes. I will move on... But it is very unsettling because it is so much money to me to lose. I lost like 140 dollars by being so stupid. Ugh....
