At no time did I give my debit card to the subscription company nor did I authorize Ritz to give them that info. (the card I filled in had no account field nor did it say that you would be billed after 3 months)
I for one wont buy fron Ritz anymore !
I don't deal with Ritz either - wildy overpriced - will tell you the Quantary lens is better than the Nikon version -- will tell you they beat any price and then say it has to be local -- then go in the back and tell you what they can sell it for -- it's like buying a car.

I've heard of a smilar scam at CompUSA, where buyers bought with a credit card and unkowingly signed up for internet access charged to that card.
