• Amazon caught cheating with their Prime subscription service

    That is the exact reason I stopped using them. I found I could no
    longer use the site without it illegally signing me up for Prime. No
    matter how I tried, Amazon would not answer me for a cancellation. My
    bank repeatedly tried contacting them due to my complaint. Even they
    could not get a response from Amazon. They finally gave up and deleted
    the charge from my credit card.

    Amazon is now little more than a crook outfit.

    "The FTC filed an antitrust lawsuit against the retail giant in June of
    2023, alleging that it had enrolled millions of consumers in Prime subscriptions without their consent and then made the subscriptions exceedingly difficult to cancel."
