Any strange charges come up with The Lotter?

[MyGoofy26]

I was just checking my account and it seems another charge came through with The Lotter. They both came through at the same time and are coded with the same transaction ID so I'm assuming they're linked. One charge was legit - the $6.25 I authorized for The Lotter. The second is only a 5 cent charge but I'm kind of horrified by the company name and a little scared of what may be to come. The name is not appropriate for the DIS, but I do want to warn others to be on the lookout so I'll give an edited version of the name, "Cross Border *butts*"


I just sent an email to The Lotter demanding explanation, asking if they account information has been hacked or sold (I'm not expecting them to actually answer that, but I want to let them know how upset I am and call them on it) and to delete my account information from their records immediately.


Anyone else find any nasty surprises after signing up for this one?

I just looked......My charge was for $6.30 should have been for $6.25 but all in one charge not 2 separate charges. I'll be sending an email as well.


I just sent an email. I'll keep you updated.

I tried to do the Lotter with my Target Visa. They called to verify that I had made the charge because 1) it was classified as gambling & 2) it was coming from Israel. So far, I just have my initial charge on the card it went through on.--6.25

I looked online earlier at my AMEX. I only see a $6.25 charge from the Lotter. So far so good. It does say something about 'foreign charge'.

Hmm. . . so I wonder if it was supposed to be "assessment" or something like that with an unfortunate abbreviation? Because the name of the charge looks VERY dirty. But I wonder if it's an extra fee "assessed" due to it being overseas? I used this same card in Italy and the fee sure as heck didn't say that!

I am only showing the 6.25 charge on my card.

I just checked and I was just charged the $6.25, nothing else. Maybe it has to do with where you live???
