Subject: RE: BS: Notorious Credit Card Tactic Banned
I once received an expensive hardbound book (some kind of business directory or something) from some outfit that had the wonderful kindness to already bill it to my business and mail it to me without any prior authorization from me to do so. I had gotten a notice of a package in the mail, I went to pick it up, and there it was at the postal counter...with the bill already attached to the outside of the package. I remembered hearing about those people, they had phoned me awhile back, but I had never ordered their directory. In fact I'd told them that I didn't want it.

I refused to take the package, instructed the postal clerk to write "return to sender" on it and return it, and I never heard from them again.

As for those credit card tricks on those sites, they ought to be charged with fraud and fined severely.
