SCAM
January 20, 2024

I was asked to pay $5 refundable fee, but as soon as I answered I was charged $75. I gave them the card that had only $10 in account, they charged me $5, tried to charge my card for $75 multiple times and did not answer my question. They said I had to wait for a lawyer to answer my question, I waited for 45 minutes, no response.

Scam through thievery
January 4, 2024

When, I attempted to update my Disneyplus payment information, using my iPhone? There system took over my iPhone screen, as if they were contracted by Disneyplus to do so?
They show this "One time fee of $1.00 dollar," transaction gimmick, never making mention of an additional charge of $55.00 dollars/month?
They somehow manage to obtain my credit card information via Disneyplus, and attempted to bill my credit card account without my knowledge and authorization? But, my credit card company declined the charges! Then notified me via text message to alert me of this unlawful transaction?
I notified my credit card company, that I never attempted this transaction!
I've already contacted Disneyplus customer service support about this fraudulent transaction? They were unaware of this company altogether?
I'm very ANGRY that this company (howly.com) tried diligently to charge my credit card without my knowledge and authorization?
(Expletive Words) to this company!

Scam alert
January 2, 2024

I was told I would receive a minor charge for one-time help in setting up a printer. After a 15 minute call I received four charges to my credit card totaling $56.00. I then received a charge one month later for $55.00 and was told I had signed up for a monthly charge. When I called on the day of the charge customer service apologized and told me they would cancel and refund the $55.00. Instead they refunded $27.50. Be on the lookout and monitor your credit card charges if you do business with them.

It's BS and they say for a Dollar they will help you and all they do is repeat the Facebook recovery steps they don't get you a person to help you
And now they took a $49 subscription that I never agreed to
Be weary protect your money giving them that dollar gave them access to your account

If it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't worth it
