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?!?!

They are scum, imho. 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.

Has anyone dealt w/ this 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
