I have contributed to the Swift Boat Vets on two different occasions. Today, when I opened my e-mail, there was a thank you note from them, along with news of upcoming ads they will be running. I clicked on the link to contribute again. As I look back, I realize the form didn't look the same and I never looked at the header. (my mistake) However, I filled it out and contributed $50.00.
When the completed form popped up, I nearly had a heart attack!! I had contrubuted $50.00 to the Democrat National Party, complete with John Kerry's picture. I immediately called my credit card company to have it removed. I was told I must wait until I receive the bill to dispute the "contribution".
To those of you who will be contributing to the Swift Boat Veterans, PLEASE BEWARE the Democrats have a little pop up scam going. I will making phone calls in the morning to alert radio talk shows et al if this outrageous SCAM.
(Excerpt) Read more at democrats.org ...
There's quite a few e-bay, bank and other financial service customers that said the same thing. Keeps the FBI busy...
Interesting that https://www.democrats.org/support/supportdnc.html, when entered in the address bar takes me to a page with Kerry's face, but when going through your links, Kerry is not on the webpage.
Yeah. You have 3 days to cancel any financial transaction. That is the law.
Something smells here...

Surely this is a scam by outright scammers. (Yes, I know the Dems are scammers, too, but that's not what I'm talking about here.) Not even the DNC could be this stupid. On second thought, maybe it's smart. They get by with whatever they do.

Three years worth of posts on one page is not alot. Did you check the dates of the posts?
the links are different. On is "support/donate" and the other is "support/supportdnc".
I have no clue. Hope you get it all figured out.
Where did "https://www.democrats.org/support/supportdnc.html" come from? All the links from the Kerry and DNC sites have "...support/donate" and have no Kerry pic.
I've had that happen, if you went there from another link, it may not show up in your history, only the link or url that took you there will show up in your history.
I SURE DID, SWIFTVETS.COM takes you to the democratic site to donate to KERRY
This may cover what you're looking for. Read it all.

Well, this is low, but not unexpected.
Actually you don't have to wait for the bill. You just have to wait until the charge is processed ... about 4 or 5 days after they submit it.
I just cancelled out one of my charges about a month ago. Very easy and no hassle.
Then I must have the same thing.
When I put my mouse over the donate link the little box comes up and said swiftvets.com BUT my INFO BAR on my borwzer (FireFox) says.
https://www.democrats.org/support/donate.html

Disgusting... I'm sending a copy of this thread to Mark Levin and see if he yells loud on show today *lol*
Is there no bottom to the democratic barrell? This is just another typical flim flaming tactic -hope you get your money back!
