It is not the scheme I have a complaint with, but the devious method you use to sign people up.

Without realising when booking my Easyjet flights, I had unwittingly agreed to you charging £8.00 per month to my credit card for the 'privilege' of shopping at one of your on-line stores, where I was promised a discount.

After a number of emails and/or  phone calls to Shopper Discounts, Easyjet,my credit card company, trading standards etc., I.e., generally kicking up a right old stink, you credited my account  with my £8.00 the following month.

Of course had I not noticed the amount on my card, for say 12 months, you would have had the benefit of my £96 and the £96 of however many other people you has scammed . I can only guess this at 200,000 people per annum, which   would give you a floating amount of £19.2 million.
Not bad eh?
And I'll guess the number to be way above 200,000.
Add to that £19.2 million bank interest of say 7% then it doesn't take a mathematician to realise you can have no possible interest in changing the devious way you 'sign' people up to your scam   scheme.

Hi everyone

I would like to say thank you to everyone on EOS for highlighting this.  I had noticed that £8 was being taken out of my account, but as we have been travelling to and from Spain over the last few months, I hadn't managed to work out what it was for and didn't know how to get it stopped.  As soon as I read this thread I realised what had happened, and am pleased to say that the money has been reimbursed.

You are all stars!!!

Sue

I just thought I'd let you know that this scam is still going on some months after the last posting.  It seems it's now £10 a month unauthorised payment Shopper Discounts now take.  I purchased an iron in February and was asked if I'd like a £15 voucher off my next purchase - of course I said Yes!  I didn't realise I had signed up for membership to this company. It might be an idea to list all the companies involved.  I purchased my iron from electricshopping - it was the cheapest company but I certainly won't be buying from them again.  As soon as I spotted the £10 on mt statement yesterday, I called Shopper Discounts and the lady I spoke to said she would cancel my "membership" and refund my £10.
