Scammed outside Lumen

Okay…. I know I’m gonna get flamed for this because I definitely made a poor decision BUT was leaving a bar around 6pm outside Lumen when I was stopped by some guys asking for donations for a local high school basketball team selling candy (they said the name of the high school I just don’t remember). Anyway I agreed to donate $5 but they said my card declined so I offered another. Turns out they didn’t decline and they just kept charging me.

Ultimately I ended up with multiple $800 charges on my cards for trying to donate $5 to kids playing basketball.

Obviously learn from my mistakes. Don’t make donations to random dudes offering you candy (which I didn’t even take ☹️)
