We’ve all seen them when we visit various web sites, those very inviting ‘Click Here’ off your next purchase.
As we know, we’re always warned about not clicking on pop-ups or links that we don’t know, but I suppose the lure of discounts are sometime too good to refuse.
Here’s a salutary tale about one such £10 offer that actually started to cost the recipient £8.00 a month from his credit card until he managed to stop it!
As the old saying goes: nothing is for free. What really disturbs me about this story is that that Office for Fair Trading (OFT) seemed unconcerned about the many reports of problems with Shoppers Discounts & Rewards. Is this another case of the OFT sitting on the fence?
I certainly won’t be taking advantage of any of these offers anytime soon.
