New York Investigating Scumbag Scammers

When you think of scumbag scammers, usually these companies don’t come to mind. Well, they should now. Any time a company allows someone else to charge your credit card $20 a month without your knowledge, they are officially "scumbag scammers" until they rectify the situation.

Buried in the fine print however, are the full terms, which state that by providing an e-mail address, the customer is agreeing to sign up for a membership program and authorizing their credit card to be charged sometimes as much as $20 a month. How can these marketers charge credit cards without the owners giving them their card information? Simple, they buy the information from well-respected merchants, such as Continental Airlines, Priceline and Buy.com.
