[QUOTE="DerHauptman, post: 2974448, member: 39988"] Agreed, I got new cards at once point because they were just not listening to me. I lost them so I didn't get a new card just for that reason alone but I figured hell I can finally get away from these (and I used this word) frigging gangsters now since i changed cards (although not accounts). I'll be damned if they didn't somehow charge my new card #, one that I did not give them. Similar thing happened with verizon. When I switched to their phone service they sent me some crap for DSL. I didn't want or order it so I figured they just auto send it to everyone so they can try if they want to. They started charging me 39.95 for the e-mail service. Since I am a soldier and go back and forth to the Middle East off and on for months at a time I didn't call them on it till 4 months later and they kept telling me I requested the crap on line. I finally got them to take the stuff off. Then they charged me an early termination fee - LOL, for something I never asked for in the first place. To make a long story short it took me a year to get it taken off and resolved (they kept my like 200+ dollars the whole time BTW). Then the irony of all ironies 3 months later they sent the same kit and tried the same thing. Took me 3 months to get it taken off and resolved that time. Some of these new things are like frigging protection rackets I swear. It can't be just me. I imagine they do this to everyone - just send it and sign you up. Most people give up after a while and just change to their service. Its like blackmail or a press gang tactic. [/QUOTE]
