Tried registering, got to the credit card information and it said my infromation was incorrect try it again or something to that nature... so I carefully put my info in again. STILL DIDN'T WORK. Looked on my bank account, and I was charged! Two $77 charges and a charge for $49.76 w/ the description "ATM OD CR LOTUSFLOW3R 03/24" What the hell! I sent an E-Mail and left a Voicemail to Scott. I hope this gets fixed. My account is @ 0.00 now and overdraft charges go in @ 12.01 with wachovia. Im just a college student, I cant afford this

If they show as pending charges, two of them will not go through. That's not unusual. They will show three pending & only one will actually post. Still sucks, though.

MotoPsycho said:

Yup. That can happen. The other two will(should) fall off.

MotoPsycho said:

the one 4 $49 is posted and two $77 charges are on hold but I can't even log in or anything...

Yeah don't worry. That sort of thing happens all the time. They wont go through.

ARock said:

I don't work in the banking industry, but I deal with that in my job often. Typically, it will stay there as pending for around 24 hours. If you call your bank in the morning, they will probably tell you the same thing CarrieMPLS & I have said. That's weird about the 49 dollar charge.

I have entered my card details but now I have the screen with processing details and been like that for at least 15 minutes, anyone else had that problem

Yer me!

Shall I click out of it? Have I been charged?

SexyMotha said:

this is so discouraging

Credit Card transactions are completed in two steps:
1. Authorization
2. Capture

In step 1 a reservation is made on your card. You can not spend this money until the authorization is voided. If the merchant does not void it the authorization it can take upto 30 days before you can spend the money again. The timeframe depends on your ussuing bank.

In step 2 the transaction is settled and the money is actualy debitted from you card.

PS Not a whole lot of acquirers support the voiding or cancelation of authorizations and even less merchant support it. I doubt that Lotusflow3r supports it.

I'm having the same problem! HAs anyone resolved this? What do I do? It's been validating my info forever!

good luck

I have been charged twice

More angry at myself for this since I suspected that might happen.




I hope there's a way to get the one fee back, but I'm not sure that's gonna happen...

ARock said:

Where did you get the phonenumber from? The emailaddress I had already guessed and let them know of the issue about 1 hour ago.

Ooh, everybody's here
This is the scam of the year!!!!

JK just trying to make light of the situation... I really hope i gets my $$$ back tho Princy

holldoll5 said:

The same thing is hapening to me! It has been validating my credit card for over half an hour but im scared 2 click out of it incase it charges me.....its so crazy. I guess its all the traffic 2 the site?

wow! i'm glad i didn't sign up.

well i think i found out what the 49.76 was... it was overdraft protection from my savings... still i have 2 pending transactions for a site i cant get in2... I WANT IN

ARock said:

sorry this happened to you! hope it all gets cleared up!

oh wow, i tried to get in twice. first time it said my cc was invalid
and the second time it took 20 minutes to validate so i though that my
computer had frozen up and hit F5.

so i'm best to assume that i'm not a member, have no password or login,
have been charged on my cc twice now (until they cancel the charges)
and that leaves me with 1 more try since i've set a fixed limit on my
cc of $ 250.

what a rush

As far as I can remember we had the same situation once the NPGMC started....

They did not learn anything

Do you know if people got their money back?

Was anyone able to purchase tics off the Lotusflow3r website?

I got in but got an error message...

damnit. ive tried many times to register with different credit cards and ive been charged each time!!!!!

TrueFunkSoldier2 said:

so it works!!!

Yeah me too, I entered my billing address wrong by accident the first time so it told me to try again. So I did and it worked the second time. But they changed me for both times! And I just called up my credit card company and they said the transactions have been authorised! Gonna have to contact the flow3r about this!
