ClickBank
Is Misleading I was misled into giving them money for the privilege of buying software I can find on my own Internet

I love the anti-virus program AVG, and I knew they had recently upgraded their program. I did a search for a site where I could get AVG, since I forgot the name of the company that wrote it (Grisoft), and a link on Google near the top of the list sent me directly to the download site compliled by ClickBank that included AVG.

Little did I know that the site I visited was NOT Grisoft's, but ClickBank's, and all they did was charge me for the privilege of downloading a FREE program through them. I thought I was paying for AVG for 3 years, but I was actually buying the privilege of having access to ClickBank's lists of programs (who knows how many of them are free...); if I want to pay for the better version of AVG, I will have to shell out another $40.

This is a CLASSIC case of consumers needing to read the fine print before they hand over their money. It took a return visit to the ClickBank site before I found out that I had wasted my money. There is NOTHING on the website that is easily visible and indicates what the true intent of the site is.

Needless to say, I have written to them via email (the only way it's possible to contact them) and voiced my concerns, and requested that my money be refunded because I had to join their company under false pretenses. I am doubtful that I will ever see my money again. All they did was list a bunch of programs that can be downloaded, and the lists were divided by function. I know that some of them carry viruses, Trojan Horses, spyware, etc., but they are listed anyway. Read your URLs and make sure you aren't going through ClickBank when you find a program through a search, people.
