In addition to all other suspicious elements, add this one: a $29.95 charge to Pope Software appeared on my bank account. I have NO IDEA how it got there. Even more odd: the charge itself included a phone number, which I called. Without ever speaking to a rep, I was able to quickly press 1 for a refund, which appeared in my account almost immediately. I called again to see if I could access a rep who could tell me where the charge originated.
No can do. The number is automation only, with the sole purpose of providing refunds. My bank had never heard of the company or this practice.
This spells outright fraud, but they’re avoiding criminal prosecution by providing for the refunds this way. I never consented to the charge, I’ve never heard of Pope Green Defender and have not seen it on any of my computers, and only found out it existed after fairly extensive research into domain name registrations. The charge shows up as Pope Software LLC in NY. Please note that I am *VERY* careful with my card number.
I’m filing a complaint with the NY Better Business Bureau for the unauthorized account access. I’ve cancelled the bank card and reported them to my bank.
