For the record,
The cancellation request was sent from the email address of the original subscription.
First and last name were also included.
The subscriber was canceling the NEXT bill, not the present bill.
Why bother even trying to follow through.
I think that the next email will be to VISA and it will say....
I do not recognize this charge. Please remove.
