No after-sale offers... Consumer Alert!
Watch out for this when shopping online!
Sen. Rockefeller's committee has been looking into the practices of post-transaction marketers for months.
The practice Rockefeller is going after involves the pop-up windows that appear on some e-commerce sites after a customer has completed a transaction. The pop-ups offer a coupon or some other incentive, but once a user clicks through, he can be automatically enrolled in a club that automatically bills his credit card for a monthly membership fee.
We don't have after-sale offers, when you finish buying what you have in your cart, we are done. Also applies to mail and phone orders.
Personally I hope they throw the book at these crooks, besides it's bad for business when other online sellers are ripping people off.
