A good way to rank the level of scumminess among SV companies: Signup with a credit card and don't validate your email address or ever sign into your account. You'd be amazed how many companies will happily start charging you.
- jonas21 6y agoHow is that scummy? You bought something, and they're charging you for it.
- wayupthere 6y agoI should clarify. You sign up for a free trial and never log in and never confirm your account. Scum kings will still begin charging you after your free trial ends.
- croshan 6y agoHow can you cancel (without cc chargebacks) if you typed in the wrong email address?
- jasonkester 6y agoEmail and ask. I routinely cancel subscriptions for S3stat customers who have forgotten which old employee first signed up for the service, or just don’t want to bother logging back in to do so. A name, or even company name is plenty.
- monadic2 6y agoI imagine it’s scummy when your site is used for fraud.
- mod 6y agoThis could also be explained by poor engineering. It's basically an exception to the rule that might be overlooked. Shouldn't be the case for a big company, but a smaller one- man startup could easily make this mistake and not be scummy.
