    Ethically, it is only right to pay for the product we buy, but repeat paying has caused inconvenience for me. Aren't you worried anybody just pays unsolicited money into your account? We live in a dangerous world...sadly...

    I'd love for people to randomly pay me money.

    What inconvenience. Seriously? How crap are you at paying bills that paying them is inconvenient?

    I think the point has been missed? It is stressed multiple time that "ethically we ought to pay for the product we buy".

    Your inconvenience seems trivial.

    It was not just anyone who paid money into your account.

    I think you are missing the point others are seeing. Which is that you are seeking some legal excuse to act unethically.

    Not for me?

    Paying money without one's consent is dangerously wrong... We live an unsafe world...

    Others see payment has to be made for product purchase - I agree
    Others see no inconvenience has caused - that is judgement being passed unnecessarily
    Others see deceiving has happened - that is judgement being passed unnecessarily
    Which is that you are seeking some legal excuse to act unethically

    Again that is judgement being passed unnecessarily?

    A lot of the replies here are repugnant in their tendency of passing judgements... sadly...

    The didn't 'pay it in' anyway. They likely reversed your payment.

    Seriously get a grip. If this is classed by you as unsafe I don't know how you manage to leave your house for all the unsafe things happening.
