That's why I'm really confused too...

Incompetence rather than conspiracy then.
Still not cool how that can happen... He signs up for a trial, it signs me up as well and charges me.

Definitely not cool, but better than a compromised account.
I wasn't eligible for a trial, so I would have been charged, lol. I already took a trial sometime last year and wasn't offered another trial this year.

Amazon claim that they make next to zero profit (and consequently pay pennies in tax) because of how much they invest in R&D and Technology.
I suspect that most of this "investment" is in devising cunning schemes to pull stunts like this.

Yeah, always found they that they try and confuse you into accidentally signing up, especially with how the checkout layout is, they have the prime stuff smack in your face, and a little no thanks out of view to try and trick you, sneaky. And cancelling you need to confirm about 3 times just in case you're not sure.

I have found I keep getting subscribed to Amazon music - turns out it was my 4yo asking Alexa to play some music - cant believe it will allow that as I have purchases through Alexa disabled!

The sign-ups seem to catch able bodied people in the best of times. I am partially sighted and have accidentally signed up to Prime because of the misleading up-sell messages I get when going to Amazon checkout. Is there a way to circumvent this, for example a Greasemonkey script that makes the page more accessible? I think that up-selling should be made crystal clear to the user. A good example of this is Tesco, where it will suggest some extra items at checkout and there is a big button that you can press to skip that page and continue onto payment.

It was me. Has my stuff arrived yet?
Had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago.
I spoke to support and they canceled and refunded me no problem. But never found out why or how it had happened.
When I went to speak to support after recieving the email I had to find my log in details for amazon, it had been that long since I had used it so I dont think I had done it by accident.
I do have a fire tv box but purchases are supposed to ask for confirmation and a password.

It happened to me a while ago, I freaked and changed password as well as enabling 2FA.
Then I realised I'd given my old firestick to my sister's boyfriend and not de-registered it from my account... de-registered it, cancelled and refunded prime. Job done.
