Last year I purchased some business cards from VistaPrint. I assumed they were a reputable retailer because I have received several of their flyers inside packages sent to me from Amazon. VistaPrint offered quite a good deal on cards but their website was very confusing and offered loads of options to upgrade or purchase double for only a little bit more money. The whole process is really well geared to get you to spend extra money at every step. At the time i remember thinking I did really well not falling for any of the attempts to get me to spend additional money. What I didn't know was that VistaPrint would sign me up to TWO different "clubs" where they would take £9.95 and £14.95 (later increased to 17.95) from my visa each month without my permission. Just to be clear I never signed up to these services and they have been taking £24.90 from my visa for almost a year (admittedly I should have been checking my statement more carefully). The total amount they stole was £252.05! Please go to the link for complete article about his attempts to get his money back.
