No problem for me to worry about, Freeview keeps me entertained.

Re: Amazon prime scam
I inadvertently opted to join Prime for a free trial when I made a recent purchase, but its easy enough to cancel it on the Amazon website. However my subscription is still valid to the end of the month and it did allow me to sample their recent foray into premier league action.

Re: Amazon prime scam
I inadvertently opted for Amazon Prime and didn't realise until I got billed for £7.99. However I rang them up and explained the situation and when they saw I had not accessed any of the Prrime benefits they cancelled it and gave me a refund.
I was taught to be cautious

Re: Amazon prime scam
That's the thing, remembering to cancel before the trial ends. They keep offering me Prime for a week for 99p.
99p
. Do they think I'm made of money

Re: Amazon prime scam
We order quite a lot of stuff from Amazon and always go for the free delivery option. Email says it will arrive Friday or Saturday but it gets here on the Tuesday which is generally next day but one …. so can't see the point of paying for Prime.
Keep smiling, it's good for your well being
