I don't use credit cards, but I do have to register my domain name
every year. A month ago I received an invoice in the mail for the
next year's registration for $25. I dutifully sent it in.
Fortunately, the company that billed me also sent me an email asking
me to verify my payment and change of registrar. Huh? I had no idea I
had changed registrars. I went back through my records (email
archives actually) and realized that I had been suckered into
changing providers and that the yearly rate had gone from $15 to $25
with my "new" provider.  After several email attempts, I finally got
through to someone who took my threat of filing mail fraud charges
seriously and they say they are returning my payment. In emails with
my old provider, it seemed to me they weren't as pissed off about as
I was.
