NOT HOT: Online stores handing out your CC number

[dp004i]

NEVER click on those "save $10/$15/$20/etc on your next purchase" popups that come up after you place an order. If you do, you'll most likely be signed up for one of those crappy "pay us $$$, get some useless discounts" programs and get charged a monthly fee. I unknowingly clicked on one of those popups and got a $10 charge on my credit card :|

This has been covered a few times before... yes it sucks, so don't click on it.

Unfortunately A LOT and I do mean A LOT have this listed.. and it ends up being a Monthly Charge as well.
