I found a "subscription" charge for £7.99 marked Amazon Prime.
I have never knowingly signed up.


You wouldn't be the first (here) it seems.

I think it might be one of those almost-concealed bits of wording that could easily be missed.


I saw it a few times before meaningly signing up for it and think it
could be misled if you weren't alert.

Next, you've got a monthly £7.99 charge!


Well, if it wasn't wanted, only that first month Shirley (before you
cancel it)?

I think this amounts to inertia selling which is illegal under both UK and EU law.

I am determined to follow thus up.


I would be interested in the outcome as it will be something to tell
the Amazon scammers who tell me my Prime account is about to be
renewed. ;-)


I find that a simple "**** off" is adequate.
