mlb.com Sidling up to your Wallet Side Pocket

March 12th, 2007 by Talboito

The number of things aggressively wrong with this email I received from mlb.com is astounding:

Dear 2006 MLB.TV Seasonal Subscriber,
MLB.TV is back and better than ever…

Innocent enough. Things take a turn for the worse (emphasis added for empasis).

As a reminder, your subscription to 2007 MLB.TV Yearly Package is being renewed at the same low price as last season - only $79.95 for the entire year (a $10 savings off the new 2007 MLB.TV Yearly Package regular price).

Just sit back and get ready to enjoy all the 2007 action, starting with live streams of approximately 150 Spring Training Games (no blackout restrictions). We plan to begin our billing cycle mid-march - your credit card on file with us will be automatically charged $79.95 on or about 3/15/07. To update or confirm your credit card information, please Click Here »

What? Why? How?

Luckily:

If you do not wish your subscription to renew for the 2007 season, simply Click Here »

And so I did.

    i’d say that sounds more like a phishing expedition.

    have a happy!
