Donald Trump's Campaign Website Won't Let You Cancel Recurring Donations

[Godhumor]

Via MIC:

On Wednesday, CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond tweeted a screenshot of an email from a disenchanted Trump donor who alleged that the campaign has not returned voice message requests to cancel contributions (The identity of the alleged donor is not shown).

...

After investigating, Mic can confirm that there is no easy option to stop recurring donations on Trump's donation site: We set up a recurring donation of $1 and found no button or other obvious way to cancel payments or remove a credit card from the system — either on the homepage, the "update card" page, or in your contribution confirmation email.

Once you're registered, if you try to change your payment information on Trump's site, you will see no option to remove your credit card — only "update" it.

Then, when you click on "update card," you see a page that allows you to alter your payment information — but you cannot completely delete your credit card. You are forced to replace it with another valid card: Invalid numbers are rejected.

1. Scammer's gotta scam.

It's in his nature.

[Kber]

2. Nice little scam they got going

[SCantiGOP]

19. easy to stop it

Call the credit card company and tell them they are unauthorized charges, and they have to remove them from the account and send a notice to the entity getting the money asking for proof that it is a valid charge.

26. K&R!!! n/t

32. Yes, and in case anyone didn't they could do this, good info. But, of course, the point

is that you shouldn't have to do that. Trump and his people again prove themselves to be unscrupulous.

3. Trump is running for President in order to keep his scams going.

n/t

Donny rented his own house to the campaign and is paying himself a salary too
and Ivanka Trump was pimping her clothes @ the RNC.*

BTW funny on how the two posts above mine all said the same thing ... Don is a Con.

wore @ the RNC.

8. No doubt it is set up to go

on indefinitely, as in forever.

[apcalc]

9. I still think he got into this ' presidential thing' to make money.

After it is over maybe he is anticipating speaking fees, maybe a TV show " Trump on Politics" or some such, with a catchier title. Something like this....

[greymattermom]

10. That has to be illegal, doesn't it?

Somewhere in the consumer protection laws, there must be something about cancelling.

[underpants]

11. Now we've work out a plan for you to make easy monthly payments....

Sounds like a rent-a-center scam

[Lochloosa]

12. And they will continue to take the fools money even after tRump loses in November.

[Ilsa]

13. Can they update with $0.00 or $0.01 to cause

them to address it? The $0.01 might cost them money, I hope.

Or, a person can call their credit card company and request they reject any more charges.

[Chimichurri]

14. Don The Con at it again

[malaise]

15. Don is a Con

[vkkv]

16. THIEF !!! Spread this around to all of the Don The Con supporters you know! nt

[MohRokTah]

17. Kicked. recced, and facebooked. eom

20. It's a common conservative business model

You can sign up so easily but hard to sign off.

Newsmax does it with their newsletter.

21. HRC should be all other this as another scam of well-meaning donors. nt

[leftynyc]

22. Just call your credit card company

and tell them to accept NO charges from them. Then write a letter to your local newspaper and tell them what you had to do.

[FighttheFuture]

23. Time to call your credit card company and put it in dispute! If it's checking, talk to your bank, be

prepared to cancel the account.

[democrattotheend]

24. That can't be legal

That has to be a violation of some consumer laws and campaign finance laws.

[Demsrule86]

25. Don the con is a scammer

He knows all the tricks to fleece people.

[RKP5637]

28. And he knows how totally stupid his supporters are. n/t

[kimbutgar]

27. Couldn't happen to a better group of people rubes being conned by Cheeto.

[lark]

29. That's easy!

Call the credit card company and report it lost and have them send you a new one. It will stop the deductions since the new card will have a different number, expiration date, etc.

30. Open a new valid card. Enter it. Then immediately cancel it.
