A fake offer via Safari browser reg

Recently when I opened Safari browser a pop up appeared saying that it's the 12 anniversary and you will be gifted apple 12 iPhone . I was asked to register and immediately EUR 1.95 was debited via my credit card. I thought it's the registration cost. Ok. It was my willingness. But after one week automatically EUR 49.80 was charged. When I asked to fortpaiz.com to give me the invoice of my order only Roberto responds saying that within 24 to 48 hours it will be responded. Nothing else happening. Was it a fake offer??? Is it approved by apple? Or how such cheating takes place using the so called safest browser Safari. Plz keep me informed.

Thank you

Benny Varghese

It’s a pop-up advertisement. Pop-up ads are sketchy.


It’s a free offer. Free offers are sketchy.


The free offer required advanced payment. Advanced payment is sketchy.


You seemingly got scammed.


Contact your financial provider, and contest the charges.
