That still passes your personal info.

at least you wont get charged without your knowledge... which in the end, is the first step in getting this non-sense fixed, for a person... of course the government should fix it for everyone. This shit should probably be considered fraud anyways... companies get free passes all the time. My name (s9df898r32h) is my company, I should be able to steal whatever I want /s

Why are such large companies so incompetent though...

You will have to pay it AND a fee for fraud, and possibly their legal fees for tracking you down. You also will have a difficult time arguing that you were in good faith with this kind of shenanigans.

Bouncing checks are not a life hack to get stuff for free, they're a crime.

I thought they were the ones committing fraud ... either way you have to be crazy to subscribe to those services
Not really, no. Fraud requires intent.
