This web site operator claimed they offered a FREE membership, and asked for credit card details to confirm my adult status. The sign-up option actually stated:
Membership Option: Free, Credit Card, $0.00
They then put through unauthorized charges on my credit card of $39.85 and then $5. This is a blatant rip-off and no doubt fraud provable in court.
I complained to them by email and was ignored. I complained again in strong terms and they tersely stated that they would credit the charges to my card.
I had no confidence they would honor this, as they had already acted dishonorably. I therefore put a stop on my credit card, causing me inconvenience and breaching my privacy.
I urge web surfers NEVER to give credit card details unless you are prepared to be charged. Also, check for consumer complaintss if you are unsure about giving your credit card details I wish I had! There may be other site operators engaged in this rip-off. Sadly, FREE clearly doesn't mean free to unscrupulous people.
