You obviously didn't read the OP's message: "The company then billed an extra $23.99 for no apparent reason (I found our later that the CDs were $5.95 each, again not displayed on their website. They then sent me four more CDs (unasked for) which they were going to charge me $14.99 for each CD). I have endless trouble cancelling this and as they have my credit card number they have the upper-hand."
The fact that other companies (larger or smaller) use similar tactics to milk unsuspecting consumers doesn't mean it's not a SCAM. AOL was infamous for that... Note again: If the web site is full of LOTS of VERY TINY text and ONE HUGE BUTTON that says CLICK HERE FOR A FREE CD, only to be led to a form that asks for personal information with ANOTHER HUGE BUTTON that says CLICK HERE FOR A FREE CD, only to be led to a form that asks for your CREDIT CARD number and SUDDENLY telling you that it actually costs $2.50 "shipping & handling", then this is DECEPTIVE. Don't believe me? Go ahead and buy from them...
