Unauthorized subscription
My browser froze the other day and somehow I accidentally clicked on a '$1 trial' offer. Now, it just renewed for a monthly membership for a partner site (badoinkvr) despite the fact that I NEVER clicked to subscribe in the first place, let alone agreed to any recurring payments. There seem to be no options anywhere on the site (either site) to manage subscription.
It seems that a one-time purchase from a few years ago permanently linked my Paypal account to the website and somehow allowed a new subscription to be authorized without my even logging into Paypal, let alone clicking anything extra.
I need this subscription cancelled and refunded. I've also reported this incident to PayPal, as I believe this is either a violation of their terms or a glitch in their API to even allow a new subscription to be activated with zero confirmation from the user.
The nature of this site does not make these types of shady business practices okay.

Update: A few minutes after reporting the incident to Paypal, SegPay automatically processed a cancellation of the subscription. I'm still waiting on a refund for this unauthorized charge.
