I was one of those people who went for the www.notebooks4free.com. And I picked Onlingo and another vendor who offers instrucitonal CDs because they only charge me $6.95 for CD plus shipping and handling. Nothing else was mentioned when I signed up for the offer.
Then I went out of town for business for several months. And after I got back in October, I noticed that my credit card got charged continously by Onlingo more than $250! Without my consent!
Then I picked up the phone to speak to their customer representive, and they only agree to refund me the latest CD $60.00 (they even try to eat up $9.95 stocking fee!). I said it was not acceptable and would report them as scam and bad business, and they said, "Go ahead".
I already reported to my Credit Card company to dispute these charges. But not only did I feel it is a rip-off and scam, but their attitude would make you mad.
By the way, the other vendor did the same thing, but I was able to get them to re-fund to me right away, so that's why I am not reporting them. And to me the whole www.notebooks4free.com thing is a scam as well.
