This is a SCAM. I emailed the company to find out what the charge was for on my Amex and they told me to call 1-888-561-4748 and immediately they started with a question for an offer. Briefly spoke with a person who started making a 'special offer'. They actually put a charge on my Amex for $6.78 and online it says they are vendor services and Im guessing they've figure out not many people will call and contest. Both owners and people who work for shaddy operations like this should be fined significantly so it stops this type of BS.
