In 2010 I renewed on-line for my local paper, owned by Dow Jones. I may have checked a box to allow recurring billing, but for no other publication. Paper stopped being delivered. in 2012 and 2013 I found charges from "DJ Subscriptions". Turns out it was for the iPhone/iPad editions of the WSJ, which I never purposely authorized. Total was $771 charges over 2 1/2 years. Fishy, they had 800 number for Cape Cod times with just answering machine on my bill. They never sent one email to my address that would have indicated to me I had an active account. The amount gradually increased. This was likely a "negative option marketing" scam, which is a pre-checked box on a web form, with something like "Yes, I want the free ...". I am suing, I have filed a complaint with the FTC, and I wish I could put them all in jail.
