SiriusXM shenanigans

I received this email yesterday (information below) and was surprised because I had this radio removed from my account years ago. I didn't ask to have my radio activated and then had to go through contacting SiriuxXM to cancel service again. I asked the service rep I was chatting with if this was a promotion of some kind, and they couldn't give me any information. I was assured there would be no billing after the 3 month trial and encouraged to keep the free service. I asked for it to be canceled, then had to wait while they checked if they could cancel this service that I never asked for. When they did come back they assured me that all was well and I should keep the service.

I eventually got the service canceled, but I think it's obnoxious that they are doing this. I could have just ignored it and hope I wouldn't automatically be billed later, but the safe thing to do is ask for the cancellation so it's on record.
