to not tell my DH that the porn site that he "accidentally" signed up to is a credit card fraud scam...

I discovered last night that DH had signed up for an account with a porn website.

This annoyed me for a number of reasons:

  1. He did it on the computer that the children use and it's now possible that we get loads of porn spam coming in.

  2. Why pay for it when it's pretty easy to access free.

  3. Who needs porn when they've got me

  4. I don't want it purchased on MY email address - fine (within reason) if he did it on his own computer (not that he's got one though) and via his own accounts.

So anyway this PM I've been googling the billing company and it seems they run something of a credit card scam.

AIBU to let him find this out himself in time when he sees his next bill and see they've fleeced him to serve him right?

YANBU, he'll be more careful next time.

i would tell him. after all, a big debt will affect both of you right??? you'd rather he was spending the money on you :D

From what I can tell it's only about £10 a month, so a couple of months won't hurt...

Hmm, but is a tenner all they'll take? If they are scammers they could sell his details on and you would get mightily fleeced...

hecAteAMillionMincePies · 10/12/2008 19:28

Does he know that you know about the porn site?

If not, it would be fun to just turn to him over coffee (when kids not around) and say

"Hope you are enjoying your porn darling, but I thought you should know that X are credit card scammers, there was an article about how they are ripping people off. More toast?"

hecAteAMillionMincePies · 10/12/2008 19:29

Toast?

That's cos the kids are pestering me for toast right now

well quite. and beware if you have dial-up and not broadband (does anyone still ahve dial-up???)
what they used to do is make you download some stuff, then it'd use it to automatically dial-up through their system when you turn pc on, at MASSIVE cost to you

hecAteAMillionMincePies · 10/12/2008 19:30

Cos of course I meant coffee.

AWarningForPorning · 10/12/2008 19:40

He knows I know about it coz I asked about it last night. He claims he was trying to get the new oasis single coz he couldn't find it on iTunes. Oddly though I found it on iTunes today in about 10 seconds...

You should definitely tell him - why would you want your DH to lose a lot of money that he should be spending on you as a thank-you for stopping him getting scammed?

AWarningForPorning · 10/12/2008 19:42

Sorry about that am on my phone

so he was searching for an Oasis song, and inadvertantly signed up to a porn site??? pmsl

AWarningForPorning · 10/12/2008 20:15

I know it has to go down as one of the Worst Bluffs Ever.

TinselianAstra - he certainly should be spending on me, yes. And I hope that now he's been busted he might spend bit more on me that he was going to!
