E-tailers Snagged in Marketing 'Scam' Blame Customers

Remember this group of companies that was just recently busted scamming customers out of billions of dollars? Well, they have an explanation…it’s all your fault.

Now, the bad news: the marketers--Affinion, Vertrue, and Webloyalty--are still in business and judging from the responses of many of the retailers involved, such as Priceline, Classmates.com, FTD, Shutterfly, and Orbitz, it will be business as usual. They see nothing wrong with the marketing practices that millions of angry online shoppers and members of the U.S. Senate have called a "scam," "robbery" and "theft."
