In December I subscribed to a website that I saw reviewed here. The review was helpful and the site was great. While on the site I clicked on two links that offered free access to other sites owned by the same provider. I probably spent less than five minutes on both sites and downloaded nothing before heading back to the site that I had subscribed to. I had an unpleasant surprise when I opened my Visa bill this month - a total charge of just less than $60. I went to the billing site and saw that my 'free' click had actually triggered a month membership for each.
While I was a bit naive to click on the links, I think that this is unethical behaviour. This was a decent website that I would have re-subscribed to to get updates a couple of times a year, but not now.
cannot edit the title? wtf ?
