I ordered a couple of fun, quirky Christmas presents from What on Earth. This month a charge from WHATONEARTHVIPINSI for $15.77 appeared on my credit card. I called - and the customer service agent said "you were opted in to the VIP Insider program." I was opted in? I didn't even (accidentally) opt myself in?
I bought two quirky presents. I my have gone back there to find another gift at some point, but I am sure I never signed my self up to be a VIP insider. This is deceptive at best.
The customer did refund the charges without much grief. I appreciate that.
I must admit I probably won't go to that website again for fear of getting signed up as an insider!
