Unethical business scamming people out of money
I've been shopping at Ana Luisa for years. But they have recently begun SILENTLY adding a $39.99/month membership to your cart whenever you buy something. **This is a predatory and deceptive way of scamming people out of their money to inflate profits.** In their responses here, Ana Luisa reps have lied and mislead: "Customers have the option to join our membership in the side cart before checking out" --> This is misleading. The membership is silently and automatically added to your purchase. If you aren't eagle-eyed, you will not notice it. "Once you've enrolled, you would've received an email welcoming you to the program as well as an email notification regarding any upcoming monthly charges." --> This is flatly a lie. I didn't receive any welcome email. However, I did receive a deceptive email with the subject line "You did it! Purchase confirmation time" that I initially ignored, assuming it was about my actual jewelry purchase. This is hardly "an email notification regarding any upcoming monthly charges". If anyone from Ana Luisa is reading this, I am begging you to stop doing this. Your company mission pledges to "guarantee your purchase stays within your budget." Secretly charging your users $39.99 a month is a betrayal of that mission.
