Hey, Mom, Can I Buy This at BillMyParents.com? Pleeeeze?
See that banner above? If you're a teenager, your eyes probably widened. If you're a security expert, your eyes probably narrowed. And if you're a parent, you probably need to brace for a deluge of email requests.Meet BillMyParents.com's Amazon Web site, where the entirety of Amazon.com's Web site is available in a one-click format. The kicker? A child doesn't need a credit card, just a parent's willingness to buy little John or Sally whatever his or her heart desires. There's even a charming little image of a teen holding out her palm for her mother's plastic.At the BMPshopping.com site above, each item has a "BillMyParents" button, which sends a request, either by text or email, to the parent to buy the item by entering credit-card information as they normally would. Fortunately, parents need to sign up for the service before the emails start rolling in.
