Re: Another Internet scam
Just wanted to give a "heads up" and make some folks aware of this-so they wouldn't have to go through hassles that they don't need,
I have posted this on at least half a dozen forums,with responses of thanks,
and things like this:
"Yep, those deals have been around for a while. I think the last time I saw one was when I ordered some clothes on line, but I've seen it on several sites.
After you click the confirmation page, you'll get a summary page for your order and It will say, at the bottom, 'would you like to save $10 on your next purchase? - Click here'. What it doesn't tell you, (at least in a clear way), is that as soon as you click that, they take your info from your order and charge you a fee (I think it was $10 or $15), and sign you up for some kind of reward program. My mom did this once. I think it was called 'something'-Advantage and she had to call and get the charge removed.
Just remember, don't ever click on anything that asks if you want to save a few bucks on your next order. There should be another place to click that just allows you to 'continue shopping'. If not, just close the page."
I just knew one of the forums would have an ASSHOLE like lockwood-
Don't contribute to the thread,if you've got nothing helpful to say.
This is why I don't post often on many sites-Complete DICKS like lockwood!
let the mods ban me if they wish(for my rough language)-I was trying to help some people out!
Art as expression-Not as market campaigns-Will still capture our imaginations.
