Unbelievable... So now I am wasting 30 minutes going back and forth with this guy explaining that I never signed up, never asked to be signed up, never used them (and never will).
I said: "You setup a corporate purchasing account without authorization, then sent the login credentials via a plain text email... and you don't see anything wrong w/ that?" "What is to stop a 3rd party from obtaining that information, logging in as me and buying product under my account???" His reply was that he wanted to make it as easy as possible for me to buy from them, and that I can log in and change my password as often as I'd like.. Are you kidding me?!?!

For over 5 years they tried to collect from a former employer on a product I returned to PC Mall while I was there. We repeatedly sent them proof of delivery of the return. I told the account rep that if they called again we would never do business with them again. I was nice, but dead serious...get your bean counters to stop calling my bean counters. It didn't stop. Last I heard it continued well beyond me leaving the company.

I just got an email from PC Mall saying "Welcome to PC Mall" - here is your username and password to begin saving money"... WTF? I never signed up w/ them, never even talked to them... Is this normal practice for resellers to just auto-create customer accounts? And to then send a plain-text email containing log on credentials??? I replied back demanding to have the account deleted and confirmation of my request. /Rant off . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
