I had an interesting situation as well. The ad I saw offered an online business information brochure... I stress "ONLINE BROCHURE" for a $1.95. Payable with my Visa card. They said there was no obligation to continue. Ha! They gave me 14 days to cancel the member as they called it. Tried without luck. Answering machine. When I tried to call them to enquire why I was charged $59.97 I couldnt even get through. For 2 weeks. On a daily basis. I called Visa to cancel. Great here comes an investigation. Blah. Blah. Blah.in the end I had to stop using my card. (Can you say freeze?) utill this mess was cleared up. Visa sends me back my money. Situation is resolved. Right? NOT! Unfreeze the card and lo and behold, 2 MORE PAYMENTS AT ONCE! Christ. When will it end? After alot of verbal jousting with a floor supervisor, (with VISA on the line. Ya, Visa got through go figure) I got credited 2 months of charges and my "membership "was cancelled.in the end I lost $59.97 CND and $1.95 USD for looking at thier site to start my own business. I guess I was "given the Business" These guys have a great scam going on. I hope they rot in hell for it...
Here's the info that was on my card from these hacks

By the way. This automatic membership is NOT legal in Canada. I assume that this sort of crap is legislated in the states. No doubt at the state level. Looks like a scam a polition can get paid off about...
Needless to say. I wont be looking at anymore US memberships for a while...
