Dubious business practice

On Monday evening, just before my scheduled call with an old pal who is an internet entrepreneur, a message flashed up from my bank on my mobile that £79 had left my account and the payee was Amazon Prime.

I could not recall any purchase, nor was there any indication of any in my Amazon accounts section.

 My concern was that someone had taken my card details to make an Amazon purchase. My friend identified the payment as the Prime subscription.

There was no prior notice that such a payment would be taken nor any description of the payment. As it happens I’m impressed by Amazon Prime but I’m sure there are those who might not wish to renew.

I would call this a dubious business practice.
