This website indicated that I won an Iphone 14 Pro and all I had to do was pay $1.95 to process the shipping. Once I payed, my receipt said that the money was for a raffle ticket (they were auctioning off an Iphone 14 Pro. It stated that the purchase of the raffle ticket was non refundable. I could cancel my ticket that I purchased but would not be refunded my money. I filed a complaint with the FCC. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER EVER.

HELPELY IS A SCAM
Received the notice to take a survey from (supposedly!) a large company that I had used before. Took the survey was told I had won a specific item and only needed to pay shipping cost of $1.95. Another screen flashed up that couldn't get past and you could not read the tiny tiny print at the bottom. When that page left they asked for credit card etc information to pay the shipping. Turns out not only do you pay the $1.95 for shipping but that other screen signed you up for a fitness program for which they immediately billed $99.95. I have icanceled both of these "subscriptions" within minutes but can't find any way to get a refund for the $101. Buyer beware!

This was an email i received - take a survey and get the specified item - you pay for "shipping only". The tricky thing about the email is that it was sent to look like it was sent from a big department store (Kohl's) that I often shop at. Took the survey and paid $1.95 using credit card. Turns out the $1.95 charge they lead you to believe is for "shipping only" is really a subscription to be entered into a what they say is a "contest every month for a chance to win a prize". They will charge you $1.95 every month (because it is considered a subscription) until you cancel.

Took me for $101.90
A pop up came to me regarding a walmart money card for $500.00. I usually don't do this, but this time i did. It led me to a site which automatically deducted 1.95 and 99.95 for something i did not order. I cancelled the two items they claim i ordered, but without my knowledge they deducted it from my bank account. I can't find any way to check for a refund.

Shell gas card $500 scam of Helpely
Without my consent I was charged $99.95 for a fitness app that I do not want, and do not have. I consented to a charge of $1.99 for shipment fee to receive a gift card for $500 to Shell gas station. The gas card does not exist.
Complete SCAM.

Ask for $1.99 for "free product". Then charge card $90 for a subscription not told about or asked for.
