In September of 2008 I purchased a laptop computer from Best Buy. In conjunction with the computer I purchased one year of Trend Micro Anti-virus/spyware for 29.99. I renewed the subscription the following year for the same period (1 year) and cost (29.99). As of mid August, 2010 I started getting emails regarding the impending lapse of the subscription at the start of September. I do not use the computer any longer so do not need to purchase their product. Therefore, I did not answer a single email. Furthermore, my banking information has changed from National City to PNC per the merger so the debit card is no longer valid. I suspect they would have simply charged me had my banking information not changed.
In summmary - I did not want their product, they did research to figure out my new banking information for PNC, and charged me 62.95. This same complaint is being filed with the Better Business Bureau immediately.
Below is an excerpt from my banking statement:
09/13/2010 CHECK CARD PURCHASE XXXXX8377 DRI*TREND MICRO ORDERFIND.C MN $62.95
Fix this now. If it is not taken care of I am willing to pay an attorney a few hundred bucks to take care of it.
Thanks,
