Random purchases on Clickbank?!
Just had a scare - I wake up this morning to two Clickbank emails confirming purchase of recurring products (of the "How to be incredibly successful with women" variety), which I certainly did not purchase as I was asleep, and anyway, I am already incredibly successful with precisely one woman, which is more than enough for me.
No-one in my house has access to my CC nor any reason to "prank" me (not my wife's style, kids too young), no-one else does either, especially not in combination with my email address. And the currency is ZAR - which I had to look up, is South African Rand (I do not live in South Africa!)
I insta-refund via Clickbank's crappy chatbot which shows no interest in the actual issue of possible fraudulent purchase.
It's only afterwards I realise that the payment info on the receipt (credit card ending with xxxx) is not a card I own at all. And there is nothing billed on my actual CC.
Anyone else had anything like this?!
Possible scenarios:
- Someone randomly pranking me (most unlikely - sign up to a recurring CB product in someone's name, what kind of joke is that?!)
- Some elaborate fraud attempt that I haven't figured out yet
- Someone mistakenly entered my email address when purchasing the product (despite how relatively unusual my Gmail address is, I do get misaddressed email from time to time)
Right now I am leaning towards the last option but wondered if anyone else had any experience like this? I am still obviously a little concerned.
Contacting CB about it is pointless, they don't care.

Who says you can't earn money as an eBay affiliate any more? My stats say otherwise
