Just returned from holiday to find the following email in my inbox stating that they have charged my card £29.95 and to cancel my supposed subscription I can click on the link which then asks for my credit card details, unfortunately they have already taken the money from my account...[evil]

It's an out and out scam as reported here (http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/353/RipOff0353315.htm)

They would have to know your account details before they can take money off you. all you can do with that is report it your credit card company and if its fraud u will get your money back and if you use your credit card on line it might be an idea to lower the maximum credit limit

Never follow any e-mail link asking for your credit card details as by giving those details, they then take the payment. Speak to your credit card company and tell them you want the payment stopped, takes a while but they can recall it.
