Almost everybody that takes your credit card for a subscription to service has automatic renewal. It’s convenient for the people that want to stay and a money maker for the ones that don’t dot their i’s when they want to leave.

Not just credit cards, they can do it with your checking account also.

This is indeed true in many instances. The scam comes in when this is not disclosed.

I have been a Norton customer for years. Each year I dutifully decide to either renew with charge card or go buy another SW pkg at the store. This past year I was automatically charged.

I cancelled the subscription, let them know why and reminded them I have been a customer for over 10 years.

A few days later I received a phone call, an apology and an offer to re-new my subscription at half price.
