On my internet mall, I have banners and product links of 5000+ merchants. Customers pay full value in advance, merchandise is delivered to customers. In case a customer is not satisfied and returns merchandise, he receives back full value. Many merchants bear one way cartage - some even bear both way cartage and customer loses nothing.
Most webhosts offer 30-day money back guarantee. Many of those SURPRISE me by sending prorata refund for "remaining days", when I request cancellation well in time to eliminate autorenewal.
Recently, I requested a webhost to cancel my account on expiry date. They responded,"Your account is already set to lapse with time. You may cancel the account now and receive $10.56 as refund". I responded and found $10.04 (reduced due to my response time) immediately in my Paypal account.
That is very basis on which the entire online market runs so smoothly. Because of constrasting culture, very few merchants are doing online business in India. Here is the comparison of two online merchants in India :-

MeraganaCom Offers online karaoke of about 3000 songs. User runs the music from website and sings along. The two voices are recorded together. Charges are only Rs149 per month. You subscribe for just one month and use any number of songs. You may or may not continue.
I paid Rs149 just twice. They found me very helpful in improving their service and offered me lifelong free membership. 

TaraanaCOM offers karaoke player and files of about 500 songs. The very look at charges reflects something fishy.
Level C all songs in our library $50 for 6 months
Level D all songs in our library $60 for 12 months
6 month value has been added only for the sake of addition - no one would avail that.

I paid them $60 and within two days, requested cancellation and refund because :-
1. While sign up, I expected around 6000 songs - twice the charges and number at MeraganaCom. The actual number was just above free Geetnet/Geetstar website.
2. I downloaded karaoke player. It worked only a day after I requested support. Same happened every time I tried to use player, even after cancellation, service off for thee days if three interactions were required. Support responded once in 24 hours.
First day : "We have your three IDs on record. Please let us know ID you paid for.". Can't they find it from own record?
Second day : "Please remove all history from cache and try again."
Third day : "We have corrected the problem at our end. Please try now".
3. Because our computers are not perfect, music/movie files played repeatedly do not end up in congruent times. Mixing music files and vocal voice, as required in TaraanaCom system is not smooth. Either music file or vocal voice overshoots.

I was informed that transaction was one-way and could not be reversed. Sensing a remote possibility of my own fault, I just avoided enforcing chargeback.

If a merchant can successfully dupe me - with zero tolerance, I spent Rs990 to recover fraudulent Rs99 from Airtel - you can imagine plight of customers, taking such losses as part of life.

Because they may be offering wonderful service to some satisfied customers and my failure there could be attributed also to my own incapabilty of using their service, I had forgotten the incidence.
Why should they trap my email address and spam me a year after ugly incident?



Another identical message received at my second email address - processed/reported again as spam.


Strange but true
I forwarded the spam to info@taranaa.com with subject "BLACKLISTED AS CHEATS. Please stop spamming". In Sent folder the message had been sent to replyto_info@taranaa.com .
I sent new message to info@taranaa.com. In Sent folder the message had been sent to replyto_info@taranaa.com .
Both messages bounced back. Unable to solve the charade, I sent message from my yahoo mail to info@taranaa.com - no such problem there.
