Last night I donated what I thought was five dollars to act blue. When I opened my email early this morning I discovered that they had taken $500 out. This happened last year, when they defaulted my $7.50 payment to $750. It took forever to get reimbursed and I also was charged by PayPal for the transaction. Although I vowed never to use act blue again, I succumbed in a moment of weakness to donate to a cause that means a lot to me. And lo and behold five dollars became $500 deducted from my PayPal account. I am not sure whether to open up a dispute in the resolution center or not, but clearly this is a pattern that people can inadvertently fall into, and I find it disturbing that act blue would’ve done this to me twice. Any advice?
