Woot.com billing "issue."

[skou]

I ordered a waterproof cordless phone, earlier this week. Today I see a debit on my checking account, from Synapse Micro, for the amount of the phone. Sooo, I get on woot's Forum, and ask. Yes, Synapse is doing the billing on this, and probably on other things. It seems that Woot is a part of Synapse, or at least affilliated with them.

No real problem, but it did concern me, until I saw that Synapse is in the same town as Woot (Carrollton Tx.)

If you see it, you'll know why.

I think they are the parent company of Woot. Check them out at http://www.synapsemicro.com/

You might get an idea of future woots. They are showing to still have over 7K of these so that will be in woots future again.

I got a response, from Galloping Cow, concerning this issue, and here it is. G. Cow is a Woot employee, and is also on their Forum a fair amount of time.

Is Synapse Micro affilliated with Woot? I just got an unexpected charge, of $29.99 from them, at the same time I should have gotten a charge from Woot, for the same amount, for this phone.

Is this coming from here, or do I have someone jacking with my credit card?
