Amazon: Still At It!

[Buzzardist]

Checking my bank yesterday I found a Debit of £79.00 paid to Amazon Prime.
Now, although I do purchase through Amazon, I have never applied for or ticked any box for Amazon Prime.
That anyone could just take money from my Bank Account without any notification or reason I regard with alarm.
I asked my Granddaughter (like you do) what she thought and her reply was that Amazon do this all the time and her friend was also hit for £79 just before Christmas and was only aware of it when her bank account was emptied!
Interesting, when I contacted Amazon the response was so quick and efficient and my account was credited immediately; minimum questions, no explanations, just send the money back, fast!
I wonder how many people failed to check their bank account over Christmas and how many £79.00s disappeared into the Amazon???

Then perhaps people should stop moaning when they are ripped off by Amazon then Ummmm !

[ummmm]

I haven't been ripped off so I'm not moaning.

Amazon does refund the money if someone unintentionally gets Prime.

Not use Amazon, Mikey must have more money than sense

//Mikey must have more money than sense\\

That doesn't make him rich.

ummmm is quite right. If you email Amazon from your account, ask to cancel your Prime subscription.
When Prime first started I also accidentally ticked the dreaded free delivery box. I got a full refund and I'm now much more careful when using Amazon.
If you regularly order more than 30 items a year, Prime is a fairly good deal.
