“Feds: Top e-tailers profit from billion-dollar Web scam”

It just goes to show that no matter who you’re dealing with, or how trustworthy you think they are, it’s always a good idea to count your change.

(In other words: “in God we trust. All others pay cash.”) ;-)

    Best Buy does it too, I got an “offer” to reduce my phone bill by $10 after ordering from Best Buy Mobile, offered by a third party. The fine print of course was a charge of $18 monthly for joining their “club”. If I’d known they were going to do that, I might have shopped somewhere else. (I of course did not click “yes”, so hopefully I wasn’t enrolled.)

    <sigh> When will people learn that screwing your customers is not a viable business plan?

    For that reason I have stopped recommending people do business with Best Buy online. I don’t care if they are giving people a million dollars to buy a Palm Pre, I’ll direct them elsewhere.

    Incidentally, not only did they give me the offer after checkout, they did it in their tracking page too.
