Campnab
Hey, just curious if anyone has tried this service out? It sounds like a brilliant idea, wish I had thought of it! I was thinking of signing up to try to get a few spots in Jasper and Banff since they...

Be Very careful with Campnab. I wanted to see if this worked as advertised so I set up an alert for a campground I have been trying to get into that is always booked. I followed the process and only input my email. After completing that the prompts quickly went to choosing a monthly or annual package.
At that point I left the website but did notice their cheapest annual package was $90.
A couple hours later I saw an email thanking me for joining with an annual subscription and my next payment was due 2-10-2021. I followed up and checked my CC statement and I had been charged $89.95 for an annual subscription to "Active Advantage". I never input a credit card number.
I contacted my credit card company and discussed this fraud and my card was cancelled. After a little research I found others that have had similar things happen to them with Active Advantage. The only thing that I found online was that Reserve America name was a common denominator.
This may be an isolated case but be careful and check your statements if you visited that site, the only thing I can think of is this is a rebranded company that I worked with previously and retained my CC number.
Coincidence maybe??? Most Likely not.
I’m one of the people working on Campnab. What you describe has nothing to do with us.
To be clear, we cannot charge your credit card unless you enter your CC number, date, and CCV. Without that information, it is impossible for us to charge you for anything.
We are not connected to Active Advantage in any way. That said, from my bit of investigation, it appears that they’re somehow affiliated with Reserve America. Others have complained about the same issue: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f2/reserve-america-active-advantage-scam-beware-101968.html
I understand how the timing might have made the charge seem like it was related to us, but in no way is.
We’re just two guys working on a service that we built for ourselves (because we couldn’t find any available campsites without it). We have no interest in doing anything dodgy with our product.
Thanks for the heads-up.
