I too am another fallen victim of MWI. I had logged onto their site about two months. Simples Escapes and Homeswork were both offering $25 gift certificates to K-Mart and Lowe's for only a $1 charge each and you could cancel the membership within 30 days.
I was experiencing an economic hardship and thought I had nothing to loose. Boy was I wrong! I tried for two weeks prior to the thirty days to cancel the membership to no avail. Simple Escapes and Homeswork had both charged my account $139.95 each.
I called the companies in an outrage and although they refunded my monies, it created a snowball effect of overdrawn transactions on my account. I now owe the bank some money for overdrafts and MWI refuses to refund any of my fees.
It then occurred to me to check for a Simple Escapes website and to my amazement I find that others are also being ripped off.
Word of caution: please be careful what attracts your eye on the internet (hint-hint: $25 gift certificates)!
