Internet Speedway
Ripoff

I signed up for the 30 day trial period with internet speedway. They promised me a web site. I was unable to set one up, despite several e-mails and phone calls to their office. One person tried to sell me their "superstore", which would cost at least $650 more then the membership I was interested in. Assuming that internet speedway was running a classic "bait and switch" operation, I cancelled the trial membership and returned the material they had sent me.

They claimed that I didn't follow the EXACT instructions. I was successful in regaining money, $69.95 they withdrew from my bank account via debit card. I had to cancel that card and get a new one, so they couldn't steal any more money from me. I also filed a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, a federal agency that investigates internet fraud. There are complaints from others on other websites about being ripped off by Internet Speedway.

Perhaps there are enough of us to initiate a class action law suit. Congressional action by changing the laws governing these type transactions would be useful. I would recommend several changes: (1) For a trial membership to be converted to a regular membership, for any type of program, the person would have to "opt-in" before being charged more money, rather than having to "opt-out". (2) For a trial membership, credit card or debit card payment should NOT BE MANDATORY. Checks or money orders should be allowed, at least for the trial or test period.

In closing I wish to thank those who have set up this website, and also to those of you who have shared your experiences with Internet Speedway.
