The weekend of 08-20-11, a family member who is UNDER THE AGE OF18, played Cityville and "bought coins" - he was unaware that he was spending real money. On Monday, I saw receipt payments from facebook while checking emails around 5:30 or 6 pm. Now, our family's checking account now has 8 charges from facebook that total $305 + overdraft fees (unknown amt until charges clear) + payment that had money in the account now have to be paid by overdraft plan due to facebook charges + additional overdraft fees. I want ALL CHARGES REMOVED FROM OUR CHECKING ACCOUNT IMMEDIATLEY. Debit card connected to accounts is no longer active / I could not locate a number to contact anyone when I looked on facebook Monday night. While at the bank, they found a telephone number on the bank charges, which was [protected] BUT that number only gave me the website c.facebook.com/credits AND to file a complaint through another system it is processing fee of $25.00 WHAT A SCAM AND RIPOFF! I want charges removed from my account before I go to the attorney(s) that I have worked for in the past. lenathompson19@yahoo.com [protected]

I don't think that matters js. But that is a good question. Like Zachary said if they are old enough to use Facebook they should know what they did was wrong. If they are not, and the parent wants their underaged child using Facebook than they should monitor them. Chances are the kids knew what they were doing and once they got caught they are lying. A lot of comments were deleted, but here goes. Make them do chores to pay the debt. Then ground them from using the internet unless they are being supervised. As you can see even a child of 12 such as Zachary knows that this is real money. To use Facebook the minimum age is 13, while I don't see a problem with under 13's using Facebook as long as the parent approves the parents should explain to them what they can't do and can't. They should tell them under no circumstances can they give personnel info such as the credit card number. If you take it to court they will tell you the same thing. Be more responsible for your children's activities.

I believe in a case like that the parents are still held responsible. Some companies will remove the charges, some will remove a percent of the charges in a case like this. Then once they remove the charges they will tell you that next time they won't do the same. They will also take away the perks of the game which cost extra money. Also I wonder if the child is really the one who put in the credit card number of it it was actually Lena Thompson and craftymama2 who gave the credit card number and had fun with the site, did not keep track of the money they spent and then lied and said their child used the credit card without permission. That is another possibility. Not saying it happened just a possibility. Either way if they are going to remove the charges whether a percentage or full, with Lena Thompson's attitude they would not. They want you to at least accept some responsibility and Lena is not accepting any. They will tell her the same thing, supervise the child, tell them what they can and can't do. Come on now even a child of eight knows that using a credit card is real money. They may not know that it shows up on the parents bill later on but they do know it is real money.

I have received a notice from Facebook that the actual charges only will be removed. I promise you that I did not use my son for a personal scapegoat & find it hard to believe that a parent would actually do that to their child. We never played "shop" & child did not give credit card number - life was too busy most of the time / system already had the information. Believe me the situation has been thoroughly discussed & that part is resolved / extra chore time & less computer time has already started --- I now realize that this is apparently just an opionion posting of comments / we all have opinions & thank you for shedding your light on this matter.

my name is betty smith. i made a purchase for some cityville cash. the total came out to 6 dollars and some change. i want to know why my card was billed for 11 dollars and 74 cents. this is really bad because you'll take people money and we have no way of contacting you regarding wrong charges. it only takes you a few minutes to take one's money, now i'm waiting to see how long it takes to respond to a complaint. thank you looking forward to hearing from you.

Since you asked, call the credit card company and report the unauthorized charges. You will need to close the account so more charges do not happen and they can find who is making the charges. I don't believe you are responsible for fraudulent charges, but call them and find out, hope you feel better soon, I've had many cards stolen/loss, last time a few months ago at work! Good luck!
