Scam Description
I’ve had to block two unknown, unsolicited charges by phantom “vendors”. They keep trying to charge me in different amounts: 24.99, 34.99, 49.99, 66.97 and now some “vender” with the name “Vitalextremeviablesyst” tried to charge me 49.99. This is ridiculous. All because I was trying to get a toolkit fit my dad for Christmas. And there was no mention of additional charges of any kind because I looked at any details of the website. And now you can’t even access the website digitalsaverzone.com. It’s like it never existed.
BBB Note: According to the website “Whois.com” the company is registered out of Iceland on August 11, 2023 and has since expired.
