Ok..i don't intentionally get scammed and I try to avoid them.

In this case, AE presents said charges and then someone enters their credit card numbers. So isn't this the worst scam ever?

It says....hey, here's how much you are getting scammed, please enter your cc #...etc. This doesn't strike me as a very good "scam".
Anyway, last post on me in this matter. I'll call the charges "barriers for redemption" or "cost to play this game".
