Everybody likes money. That’s why they call it money!
RSSchen, maybe if you didn’t waste all your time posting non-stop to the SDMB for the last 7 years, you’d have read the free trial details more closely.
Nope. Offence. Those British spellings will always bite you right in the smart-ass.
British spellings?
Oh, you mean wrong spellings.
That’s wroung. Like “colour”.
Dude, what’s with the British accent? You’re from California…
Well you know the deal. A quick CYA when you’re called on your choice of words. After looking at the dictionary, it is a pretty darn obscure variation of the word.
What’s questionable about Napster? This is the online music store formerly known as Pressplay, not the pioneering peer-to-peer service. The only connection is the name and logo.
AOL did something similar to my Dad, when he had just bought his first PC with a modem. Free trial (which didn’t need his CC details) ended and the full time paid service (which of course did need his CC details) started without so much as a by or leave. A bit sneaky to pull on someone who wasn’t entirely internet savvy, but then as others have pointed out, we should have know our free trial had ended, we just didn’t think AOL would be so, well, impudent :rolleyes:
On the upside, I also remember that AOL free trial as my free lesson in how crap AOhelL really was. The joy at discovering Internet Explorer could indeed explore the internet without AOL’s crappy software on top of it was only slightly less than discovering I could get actual porn on the PC
Hey genius! (I’m talking to the OP here.) Did it not occur to you that they need the numbers to verify that you are the owner of the account?
Otherwise anyone could call them up and ask them to do anything to anyone’s account. You could call them, pick a likely sounding account off the top of your head, and sign that person up to every option they’ve got. Just for a laugh.
How did you know I was a genius? I don’t advertise it!
Oh yes damn obscure, only everyone in the British Commonwealth spells it that way… It’s only a few hundred million people how obscure
