Still getting thos amazon ones.
Meanwhile not a scam, but a rip off. I had a 'photography plan' monthly sub for software from Adobe on an account that was set up years ago using my work email address. Work has now gone cloud based, and added it's plan to my account. But even though the two plans are being paid for, I am not allowed to have anything (even programs not inlcuded in my photography plan) on more than two computers, so could not use work software without deleting it off my home computers. The only way to get around this is to to cancel my photography plan and thus the direct debit, and create a new account using a different email address and then set up a new plan using that. This is annoying enough, but they wanted to charge £30 to cancel the direct debit!
Actually, I need to go and check that they didn't take this month's money out - was due today - or charge me the £30. (I got in contact and after some restrained protestation and complaining on my part, they waved the £30 'as a gesture of good will'.)
Sorting this out took about two hours of my time, and I have not yet set up a new plan. Tempted not to as can use free to me software from work on one computer at home. Will see how that goes.
