The credit card co. states this charge is from an Escort/Dating company.  I called the number and it is a woman on an answering machine asking you to leave a msg. if you have a question regarding billing.  My guess is that you will never get a call back - unless you are a male that made the charge!  Dirty little secrets...


Since I've called no escort service, I suspect this may be an ongoing scam.  Is it appearing on other credit cards also, or does this particular credit card (American Express) have a problem?

1. set up a paypal account and deposit funds in there.
or
1. get a prepaid debit 'visa check' card.
(tell your spouse it was a gift, if you must --- just don't tell her it was a gift to yourself for good sex.

1a. Earn some extra cash... sell something on ebay, start a side business (easy enough to do w/as many affiliate programs there are.)

2. Put the income onto the check card and EL...Media (looks like ADVERTISING in the sales ledger)

3. You know you're business is working when you get free hookups & it pays for itself.

Make more $$, quit your dayjob.

cheers!

To "Pissed Wife" ... the charges are not for hookers. They were for the ability to send a message to someone. Ashley Madison does not allow anyone to send a message unless they buy credits. They have sneaky ways of getting people to pay. The fact that you saw 2 charges of $80 probably means that he sent out a few messages, no one replied, and then he had to go and buy more credits in order to send more messages and try again.

Sorry I banged your wife.  I met her on the site! lolHonestly, I have met four married women on Ashley Madison.  I have two more contacting me.  There are as many bored housewives as there are men on that site. And one was on wit her hubby's permission and we teamed up and did her together later.If its not your cup of tea just leave it alone, and be glad that your spouse is happy and getting that itch scratched, but loves you enough not to leave.

I have been on there for several years. had several long term contacts.  Why did I go? Bored in bedroom. Married too young? not enough premarital  experiences? I don't know. I found it hot. I found in intoxicating that other women found me attractive. Would do things my wife wouldn't.  I was able to please them.  One was ready to let me be with her and another woman. unfortunately my wife found out about her. I ended affair. Mistress was spared any fallout.  Is something missing in my marriage. If there is its from my side. I don't want to leave. but I don't want to be limited to one woman. I maybe a [***]. Or scum. Just cant stop.
