A woman on Mill Road told police she was scammed on Facebook. She saw an ad under the name Keanu Reeves selling CBD Gummies. She was communicating with them through messaging and agreed to buy three bottles for $49.99 but she was actually charged $249.99 with no way to cancel the order. She said she had paid with her Citi Bank Mastercard and she then called the bank and they told her the order was actually charged to Bailey Enterprises and they gave her their phone number and told her that she would have to speak with Bailey Enterprises before they could cancel the transaction. She then called them and they told her that they couldn’t cancel it. She said she later saw where Facebook took the Keanu Reeves account down and now it's back up this morning. She is worried more people will get scammed.
