Have you considered meditation?

Or better, medication?

Think about all the people living pay check to pay check that have their rent checks bounce because amazon wants to steal peoples money. One over draft can ruin you financially. Think about it, your rent check bounces, you have to go to court, you get a late fee from your apartment, your bank gives you an over draft fee, then a per day over draft fee, any credit cards will have late fees and penalties. If you don't have family you can borrow from you are fucked. I know because this happened to me once when I was younger, it totally ruined me financially because I couldn't get out of the hole, messed up my credit and almost made me homeless. And you can tell they do this to people a lot because they offered no resistance on the phone, seemed almost like I was the 9th person who called with that issue today. These companies think they can get away with stealing as long as the law suit is less then the amount they stole. They just says "oops accounting error" but its funny they never accidentally credit peoples accounts they always error in their favor. Verizon did this by charging people $0.10 for texts X millions of accounts then just said "oops" we got caught we'll give it back. An accounting error has equal probability of bein a credit or debit, but it ALWAYS works in their favor. I'm sick of it.

I know what you mean Yada.

I've had charges like that (not from Amazon yet) but other things that were mysteriously charged to my account because I once had that service but had cancelled it, only to have it show up later in the future.

But, that's part of the modern world and it's fraud that comes with it.

I guess we can go back to the old days where we trade a goat for a block of cheese. Trade a BJ for $20.

What a short sighted business strategy. Give a man a block of cheese and he will have cheese burgers for a day. Give a man a goat and he can have gorganzola burgers for a life time(of the goat)!

When you signed up for Amazon Prime, did they not tell you it was $99 per year and would be automatically debited from the card you provided?

I never signed up for it. I rarely use amazon because I don't like how you have to practically buy something just to see the shipping. I use amazon a few times a year so 99$ bucks isn't worth any free shipping, unless I was shipping a car.

In that case...

I just remembered that the same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. I saw a button that read, "Get free shipping with Prime!", and thought heck yeah! I didn't read the fine print about the free month and $99 charge if I didn't cancel. A month later, $99 is debited from my account.😒 They refunded me, but they really need to make the details more clear!

They are not going to. They make a shit load doing that. They will stop when they get a law suit.
