Automatic signup to unsolicited extras - beware!
I took Onestream on as part of an introductory offer, and the task of unchecking hidden extras is not something I'm used to, but it appears to be a hazard when signing up to these services nowadays. I've found this out the hard way.
When there were faults in the service, an engineer was dispatched to sort it in relatively reasonable time, but I quickly discovered this is because I'd been automatically signed up for the premium service package. Other customers without it have reported difficulty even getting them to answer the phone.
Next, I find that two weeks AFTER my contract has finished and transferral to a new ISP has taken place, they bill me on behalf of Kapersky for a full year of antivirus protection, something I had zero idea would continue once out of contract. Email blurb: "The good news is your Kaspersky subscription has successfully renewed","We understand that staying protected online can be a hassle, which is why we’ve taken care of it for you. The card saved on your account has been charged £59.95 which keeps your identity safe on up to 5 devices." The tone of pseudo-helpfulness is bitterly hilarious.
All of this is intentionally deceptive, ethically disgusting, and ultimately self-defeating, because I will not only never use this company, I will also advise everyone I know against using them. The more customers they do this too, the more word will spread.
To hell with companies that act like this, because they do not deserve your business, and as reviews like this pile up, they will hopefully bankrupt themselves when customers stay away in droves.
