UM. I just got three different emails about my purchase of prepaid mechanical hits which I DEFINITELY DID NOT ORDER. I don't even have a requester account.One email says my purchase for $612 failed. Two others say my purchase for $611 and $613 succeeded by credit card.

man I hate the fact I was right about those scammies...

The scammies was the first thing I thought of. I don't have any charges showing on any of my cards as of now.

The last time I saw a scammie, they wanted 10 links for 20 cents. Not only are they unethical and probably illegal hits, the requesters lost their damn minds as well.

Maybe they're watching your computer activity RIGHT NOW and they wanted you to check your CC accounts. Now they have all the information they need...

I used to be in education as a history teacher so this is interesting.

see this is perfect, if you make learning fun more people will catch the meaning, it's classes that are boring that kids struggle with

What do these scammies look like so I can avoid them if this is the true source of this issue?

That's messed up. Did you have to enter in a CC during any specific hit...or how do they know your cc numbers?

I searched my first name and all I found was another requester with same first name but diff last name. I searched my worker ID and nothing. Idk how else to search.
