The Boston Globe's behaviour regarding the way it charges customers for its digital subscriptions may not be criminal, but it is certainly unscrupulous and dishonest.
If you sign up (and pay for) a reduced-price subscription to the Globe's website, the explanation you receive about the offer will claim one thing, but the Globe's subsequent actions will be very different. Well before your trial period ends, you will be charged full-price for weeks or months beyond your initial purchase.
On October 25, after Game 2 of the World Series, I purchased a four-week subscription to the Globe at 99 cents per week.
