After reading this post, and doing a little research (you really should try it, Harry, it might make a difference in what you post), there have been many, many instances, enough to make a pattern. These have been reported in the Consumerist as well as on several other sites.
The fact that you hadn't heard of it does not surprise me. I get the distinct feeling that if it isn't reported in whatever newspaper you choose to read, it just doesn't happen as far as you're concerned.
