Ment "hidden charges" / Fraud.

Intelius has a hidden cross-sale that got me last year.

hmm, the name of the former Infospace president - Russell Horowitz - I saw that somewhere the other day

hope it gets more out of hand and we will finally get a cleanup

Funny that you post this today - beyond cezarcash, I run a handful of health offers - with diet products (colon cleanse/acai berry) being the heavy sell of late. I just looked at two of my "friendly competitors" offers and beyond the $89 dollar ticket after the free trial, the surfer is clipped for 2 other products each at $49 - no check box - nothing in the terms...but you do get an email 14 days later mentioning the wonderful deal they took the liberty of enrolling you in...

Didn't copy that... I want to get in the subject... hehehe

Global corporations have an interest in things getting even worse than they are now. Then they can sit back and watch a huge amount of restrictive legislation appear. Legislation that will bring high costs to running an e-business, making it virtually impossible for random dude to start any kind of e-biz. Global players have hinted at before that entry to e-business didn't have enough barrier(s)(dont bug me for a link).

I heard a rumor from some of the processing folks that one or both of the card associations will be cracking down on cross-sells early next year, though who knows what that means.
