The account name and address can really be anything... and this is also true for the CC on file.
- unixhero 6y agoAlthough this is true and will work. It also amounts to some degree of fraud.
- michaelt 6y agoFraudulently avoiding being defrauded? Poetic.

- yanderekko 6y agoDoes it really come as a shock that you don't have a blanket right to lie about your identity to protect yourself from possible exploitation?
- IG_Semmelweiss 6y agoI would agree that in most cases this is true. But we are talking about really deceptive sales practices by Adobe. Fighting fire with fire in this instance seems particularly reasonable. That aside, engaging this tactic on transactions with merchants with reasonable cancellation terms would be borderline fraud. If you use the services and they satisfied your needs, you really should be paying for them.
- alisonkisk 6y agoHow about not giving money or mindshare to a company you think is scummy?
- jrockway 6y agoAnother option is to ask your state's attorney general's office to send them a letter. Companies do not like letters from the government.
- BryanBigs 6y agoTrue. But any refill that doesn't state the fact upfront is also fraud. If a company is transparent that you will be automatically charged every year, and has an easy way to cancel before the date, well then that's on me. I've paid those obligations even if I'm not using the product. But if the rebill terms are hidden during the marketing process, and buried away in fine print....good luck collecting from Sammy Davis, Sr, Dirtbag Co.
