Interesting article on shoemoney.

LOL i thought that was the way it had always been...

aimed and shady cross-sells / rebill aka "continuity" mainstream products were you sign up for a free trial and get your card banged then banged every month until you cancel it.

fatass is totally misreading it.

Looks like a law that formalizes what the card companies were talking about doing voluntarily.

Could be an issue since now instead of just getting in trouble with Visa/MC, you could be in legal trouble.

I assume he's doing this for links and doesn't actually think this... if he does, that's pretty sad.

It's just another link-bait article by shoemoney... carry on.

Thanks for posting that

Lots of recent laws that have come about or soon will...if that is the info you were looking for.

Anyway, some cover disclosure of advertisements/marketing on all pages & email, affiliate link notices, average results for any claim, and the billing changes, which I think is truly more targeted towards the major privacy issue with sharing billing information, and then stopping fraud of course.

i thought it was link bait but he seems confused, so who knows.

be nice to see some cleanup finally

i even had to cancel credit cards because someone was banging them


i wont name names...but i setup an email address and signedup to a certain traffic provider with it....ive been joining every dating site in existence apparently since then.

there are many kinds of fraud...but out right billing fraud should come with jail sentences

wonder who that could be?

you are free to guess

but i prefer not to divulge information

They have pushed this bill for decades, it's a waste of tax money and cannot be enforced. Bottom line, it's a shortcut and that waste peoples money like most bills and do nothing. The problem is the people stealing card numbers, they need to go after then and convict them and for other countries they need to hold the government responsible for convicting these people or blacklist that country.

Just browsed the executive summary of the bill at http://www.gop.gov/bill/111/2/s3386.

All practices that the the Card Associations have been enforcing or attempting to enforce for some time now. Legitimate merchant account providers have already included these guidelines into their underwriting criteria.
