Mandrake 'charges' $13k for $132 membership (Register)
[Posted May 18, 2004 by ris]
The Register reports
that a bug in payment software from Natexis has been overcharging
Mandrakesoft customers. "The system is now up and running properly
and Natexis is talking to the banks so anyone who overpaid should get a
refund soon."

Title is misleading. The one who charged wrong was Natexis.
Mandrake is not lucky lately. First the LG drives, now this...

"In a statement the company admitted there was a problem with payment software from Natexis. The bug in Natexis software treats cents as dollars, or multiplies every amount by 100. In May, 261 Mandrake customers were affected."
Mandrake did the charging, using software from Natexis.
