Buyer Beware: ProFlowers

Last month I was in Israel for three weeks. These three weeks included the date of my anniversary. I still wanted to do something nice for my wife on our anniversary, so I decided to send her flowers. I used a company that I had seen an ad for ProFlowers. While I was checking out, they gave me an offer for $15 off my order. All I had to do was fill out a survey, which I did. As part of this process I agreed to sign up for a service called EasySaver. Joining was oh-so easy as ProFlowers shared my credit card information with EasySaver. Of course EasySaver then starts charging me $15 per month for membership.

Now I was clearly stupid for falling for something like this. I was quite embarassed when my wife noticed the charges on our credit card. Luckily we only got nailed for May and June. Anyways, clearly my fault. However, I really hate shady operations like this. I will never use ProFlowers again. As far as I can tell, EasySaver is completely worthless anyways. Hopefully other folks will be smarter than me and not fall for scams like this.
