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. ;-)

Yeah when they first tried that they were using the actual price of
Prime renewal... so probably got lots of people happy not to cancel it!

(to throw them a curve ball, ask them which Amazon account they are
talking about. I tried that, and they gave me my phone number!)
