To refund the stupid doesn't bother me too much, but to give compensation and therefore reward people for being stupid is a step too far.

Here here!

Anyone know why the above poster has suddenly been PPR'd.

Doesn't look to be anything wrong with that post.

Maybe because he said "here here" when he meant "hear hear."

Deserves a permanent ban in my view. :money:

Nice one.

It would seem that poster was PPR'd within seconds of making that post.

Absolutely. People need to pay the price for their mistakes, and the "stupid" must be punished. MSE are obviously learning from the ranters on this thread.

How can you tell who has been PPR'd?

Looks like I haven't. The "why always me" types must have mislaid their "report" buttons.

Post #132 - the PPR shows under the forum name.

I received an email dated 15/2/2015 inviting me to try Amazon Prime for free with a link to click on for the free trial for 30 days. I clicked on the link which took me to my log-in page on Amazon. Once logged in I clicked on sign up. On reaching the next page, I realised I'd been charged as it said my next payment would be 19/2/2016. I immediately cancelled. I wrote to Amazon & their reply was that as I had already benefitted from a free trial I was no longer eligible. As my free trial was just over a year ago, I didn't realise this as I thought they we were offering me another free trial, especially as the link had try for free prominently displayed. Misleading. I do agree with other users though that it's quite easy to ensure you're not charged a fee when using the free trial. Even though I cancelled immediately, the money was first credited into my bank account, then debited, which must have caused them some admin.

Are you seriously suggesting that Amazon MADE A MISTAKE??? They emailed you to offer you a free trial when you weren't eligible for a free trial?

Sorry but this cannot be right. Amazon don't make mistakes, ever. All the issues with them are 100% user error. You'll have half a dozen people telling you how stupid you are shortly...
